Doris Day's rendition of "They Say It's Wonderful" from "Annie Get Your Gun." The video includes a montage of male actors with whom she made movies. There are quite a few, I had no idea she made so many films, and wait until you see who is at (about) 57 seconds.

Mystery beat me to "Tonight" from West Side Story (it was on my mental list to add). So as a complement to her post...

One of the most appealing pieces from "MY Fair Lady". Oh, Poor Freddy, but he sure dresses well.

That's a beautiful song.  I've seen that on stage a few times and it's just "loverly." :)

I LOVE all these songs y'all are posting (and heard a lot of them from the womb and before I could even walk.)

And MANY thanks for the " Man of La Mancha" posts.  The music from that gives me goosebumps.  In a good way.

Excellent choices, DCPatriot, and I am quite glad you started a thread devoted to show tunes.

For my first contribution I am going all the way back to the 50s and this piece from "Carousel" a song I not only enjoy for itself but which also brings back pleasant memories for me as did the Tommy Edwards' songs you added. And, yes, that is a very young Shirley Jones (Julie).

Not a great song but taken in context very amusing, and Gwen Verdon gives an impeccable performance. From "Damn Yankees", "Whatever Lola Wants".

I defy anyone to listen to this and not smile - since it was expanded to stage shows.

Excellent stuff, EC. I do wonder, however, how the woman on the left (in blue) can possibly walk around like that with those heels. But that's not the only question I have when it comes to women. Perhaps Professor Higgins can best explain my dilemma when it comes to the fairer sex:

Ok, I will confess up front this is not directly connected to our topic but right after I posted my last from "My Fair Lady" I checked Facebook and my eldest daughter had posted this. It seemed like such an amazing, and amusing, coincidence I add it here.

Roy Scheider was very good in that.


He REALLY shed the Amity Sheriff persona, didn't he?   LOL!

When I was a freshman in high school, I got to see THE William Warfield perform that in a touring Broadway revival of "Showboat" at the Kennedy Center.  I was thrilled beyond words.

What I loved about the movie was the minimalist sets, making it feel almost like you were seeing it on stage.  Loved the movie.

But I saw it in 2001 in NYC on stage and absolutely loved that production as well.  The cast was amazing.

I saw it on Broadway, too... and it was great!  I normally am not a fan of Broadway plays turned movie, this was one of the rare exceptions for me.
