Welcome to a Monday's Music Moves Me, the fantabulistic music meme hosted by me, my dearest of friends Dolly from XmasDolly, Larry from Cakeblast and Callie from Jamerican Spice and the wonderful Stacy from Stacy Uncorked. This week's theme is another Freebie Week!

Since I had so many songs in my head last week for Broadway songs, I decided to post some more of my faves. Hope you like these as much as you seemed to like last week's.....

This Jesus Must Die ~ Jesus Christ Superstar (I adore Frederick B Owens as Caiaphas)



These next two are from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which is such a fun show. The first one you will all understand why I like it so much as soon as you see it... =)


Song of the King ~ Robert Torti as Pharaoh





Any Dream Will Do ~ Donny Osmond as Joseph (Isn't he adorable?)





Here are a couple from another musical that stars some of my favorite actors from the past, Shirley Jones and little Ronny Howard, The Music Man. First, let me share....


The Wells Fargo Wagon ~ Featuring Ronny Howard (LOVE the lisp!)





Seventy-Six Trombones ~ Robert Preston, Shirley Jones and Cast





This next song is from Showboat, but I couldn't find a good recording from the play on Youtube. What I did find is this amazing rendition that I hope you will like, I LOVE it.....


Can't Help Lovin Dat Man ~ Annie Lennox

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
