Welcome to a Monday's Music Moves Me, the fantabulistic music meme hosted by me, Dolly from XmasDolly, Larry from Cakeblast and Callie from Jamerican Spice and the wonderful Stacy from Stacy Uncorked. This week's theme is Military/Patriotic or Broadway Tunes.

Since I did patriotic tunes last week, I decided to go the Broadway route this week. Bill and I used to go to the theater all the time when we lived in Connecticut, we had a local theater that showed Broadway Musicals and we went to at least 6 a year, but we haven't gone to any since we moved down to Florida, I really miss them. Here are some of my favorites.

"My Fair Lady": Just You Wait ~ Julie Andrews

While I didn't really care for the show itself, I truly loved the following song.....

Memory ~ Original Broadway Cast of "Cats"

Here is another show that I wasn't thrilled with, but the song always gives me goosebumps.....


Seasons of Love ~ Final Performance by the Cast of "Rent"





These next two songs are from my absolute FAVORITE musical... I have seen it three times, once actually on Broadway. I still get chills when I see it or hear the music and my favorite singers are portrayed below.....


Theme from "The Phantom of the Opera": ~ Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman





The Music of the Night ~ Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman
