give my regards to broadway...

i told you it was coming, and i thought it timely that i unveil my top 10 favorite show tunes being that the tony awards were monday.

i must preface that i had my tivo in full operation, going back and forth from game 5 and the tony's. both important events, however most of my attention went to the tony's. sorry rita! game 6 is tonight, and i'm on it (go celts!).

denise's top 10 favorite show tunes

10. the impossible dream - man of la mancha

9. seasons of love - rent

8. there's no business like show business - annie get your gun

7. somewhere over the rainbow - wizzard of oz

6. i got rhythm - girl crazy

5. circle of life - lion king

4. life is a cabaret - cabaret

3. one - chorus line

2. bye bye blackbird - fosse

1. rain on my parade - funny girl

however, how could i possibly leave out:

maria or climb ev'ry mountain - the sound of music
it's a hard knock life - annie
a spoon full of sugar - mary poppins
all that jazz - chicago
oh what a beautiful mornin' - oklahoma
corner of the sky - pippin

D-Ever see a show on 42nd? If not, we have got to make that a priority for one of your visits. I am not a theater buff by any stretch, but I have always thought life would be much more fun if it were a musical.
