No Way to Stop It and I Have Confidence

[The Mayor's Oldest Girl]

How Can Love Survive and My Favorite Things (Only two??? It's so hard to choose! )

[the1nonlysinger]

I Have Confidence & Something Good (both only in the movie, I know... but only having to choose two, I think I have to go with these)

~Erin

[MusicaAngelica]

EDELWEISS
(My mom used to sing this to us as a lullaby, and I intend to do the same with my kids.)

Oh, and...
The Lonely Goatherd

But I'm awfully partial to Climb Ev'ry Mountain.

[ActrJake]

Hmm, I'd have to say Edelweiss and and the Sound of Music Reprise...

Jake

[ProStud]

I'd have to say How Can Love Survive & No Way To Stop It! Theyre fun, and different, and NEVER overdone.

And although this isnt the question, Do-Re-Mi & Favourite Things, I dispise them with all my heart! I belive the devil inspired Rodgers & Hammerstein to write that one. I absolutely can't stand those 2.

[76Trombones]

I like Edelweiss and the title song Sound of Music

[Sunsweptraindrop]

All of them!
But if I seriously had to pick probably Something Good and The Sound of Music[/i]

[katie_r]

Probably Edelweiss and The sound of music!

Katie

[morning_glow21]

I have confidence

and

My Favorite Things ahhhhhhhhhhhh i love that song

[musicgrlsizzle]

This is hard. I would have to say Favorite things, Edelweiss (sp?), and Do-Re-Mi.

[Annie Rodgers]

Lonely Goatherd!!! Everyone needs a little yodeling in their life.

And probably I Have Confidence because it's an amazingly dramatic song... sad that it's only in the movie. Can you even imagine how it could be done on stage...?

[Ali]

The Sound of Music and Something Good (best addition to a musical for the movie ever!)

[mollytrolley]

Definately My Favorite Things and Edelweiss.

[Flaeryn]

Lonely Goatherd and Edelweiss

[BaLLeRiNa89]

The reprise of The Sound of Music (by the kids... the harmonies are so pretty!!!) and How Can Love Survive.

[elizjneel]

My two favorite songs would have to be:



1. My Favorite Things
2. The Sound of Music

[ccp_star]

i like :

my favorite things and the lonly goatherd

[GungaDin]

"Dixit Dominus" and the "Laendler."

"Dixit" is the opening scenes at the abbey; and I heard that even Julie Andrews could not sing the difficult lyrics to "Laendler" that they just made it as an instrumental accompaniment.

[singinginlarain]

From the movie
1. my favorite things
2. Climb every moutain

From broadway show
1 No way to stop it
2. how can lover surive

I was very mad that the movie director took those numbers out, they are peppy and full of life, i think it was a definate mistake!

[gen]

hum...mines are:

sixteen going on seventeen
the song of the marionnettes (I dont remember...)
XOXO

[Vika]

I Have Confidence and The Sound of Music

[act4ever]

[*Dark*Solo*Singer*]

Edelweiss and Sixteen Going On Seventeen

[senyorito_nes]

How Can Love Survive and (though not a song) Laendler...

[trinb]

My two favorites before directing the show were: The Sound of Music and The Lonely Goatherd.

My two favorite after directing the show are: No Way to Stop It and How Can Love Survive.

[singasong]

I would have to say my two favorite songs are 'I have confidence' (when Julie Andrews sings it it reminds me why i want to act and sing) and ooo probably 'My favourite things' because its so fun

[Sean]

Lonely Goatherd and 16 going on 17 and Maria are a tie

[drama_teach]

The "Goodnight Song" at the party, not the festival
"A Few of My Favorite Things"

[aktor28]

"Climb Every Mountain"
and
"So Long Farewell"

[JulieJordan]

*Takes a deep breath* Edelweiss definitely and The Sound of Music. No, Something Good. No, My Favorite Things. I can't decide! I love them all too much!

[briggsgirl]

Edelweiss, 16 going on 17, climb every mountain, i have confidance

ahhh!!! i can't decide!

[aktor28]

i used to like the lonely goatherd, no i hate that becasue i actually have to memorize it so hard to remember!

[purplepolkadot]

My favorite things!! Its the best song. Then probably sixteen going on seventeen as a second choice.

[GungaDin]

My faves are: "My Heart WIll Go On" and "I Will Always Love you" I always cry when they play these.

[Salome]

How Can Love Survive
No Way To Stop It

the only witty songs in the whole damned score.

[broadwayfreak67]

The Lonely Goatherd and 16 Going on 17

[toomanycurlz]

Well Iv only seen the video with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plumber but my favs are So long, farewell and probably My Favourite Things!

[EganFan]

Lonely Goatheard (movie version; there is a difference I believe. Maria sings much higher in the movie one) and Edelweiss. Do-Re-Mi is a tie with Goatherd.

[(aerial)]

Lonely Goatherd! And then I'm not sure.

[TheatreLuvr4Life]

My Favorite Things and Sixteen Going on Seventeen...

[Stargirl5]

Edelweiss and My Favorite Things, but it comes close with a lot of them.

[GlamorousGriz]

Top 2? Oy. This is too hard..... I'm definately going to go with "Lonely Goatherd" as one, but the other.... I don't know.... I love "Do Re Mi", but I also love "My Favorite Things" and "The Sound of Music" and everything else.....

[musicaljunkie2005]

The Lonely Goatherd is hilarious, and I love "Something Good" from the movie...Julie Andrews gives me chills every time I hear that one. *sigh*

[flying_pigs]

So Long, Farewell
Maria
The Lonely Goatherd
and
DO-RE-MI

[Stine]

It is very difficult!

Edelweiss is very beautiful!
DO-RE-MI it is a song full of song! You just have to love it!

However, when the Captain sings The Sound of Music with the children... It is so beautiful too!

[Salome]

most of the songs make me want to vomit

I adore How can Love Survive and No Way to Stop it..I find Edelweiss touching..but apart from those..nothing.

[what_the_heck013]

Broadway Version:
1. No Way To Stop It
2. Climb Every Mountain

Movie Version:
1. Something Good
2. Climb Every Mountain

[pollywolly]

Do-Re-Mi and My Favorite Things are my fave =)

[jazzygirlsings]

[ccykim]

Yes this is so very difficult! I'd say The Sound of music and My Favourite Things. But The Sound of Music reprise (when the Captain enters) always makes me cry too.

Just curious, having only ever seen the film, I have no idea what's No Way to Stop It. Seeing as everyone seems to like it so much, I must be missing out on something very good (okay, stupid pun). Could anyone say briefly where in the show it occurs and what it's about?

Thanks!
ccykim

[broadwaychild]

no way to stop it and 16 going on 17

[Salome]

It occurs in act II when Von Trapp and Elsa break off their engagement..its a trio for Max,Elsa and Trapp.

Max and Elsa also have a brilliant act I songs "How can love Survive".

[alice101]

16 going on 17 is my favorite

[ShadowInTheWings]

16 Going on 17, definitely. That seems to be a pretty popular song around here.

[Musicalfreak355]

"Sixteen going on Seventeen" and "So Long Farewell"

[PAMIE]

1.Edelweiss
2. My Favorite things

[Fantine]

Movie version:

1. Sound of Music (where everyone sings together)
2. Edelweiss

[RainbowJude]

My two favourite songs from The Sound of Music:

1. "Edelweiss": I think that the way this song uses something so tiny to represent all the wonderful things that are to be left behind - the loss of an entire way of life and everything that is familiar - is remarkably touching. It's so much more that the little, diagetic song it appears to be. Like "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" in Cabaret, the dramatic and contextual placement of this song enlarge the symbolism of the material into something that is theatrically effective, becoming an essential signifier in the show's semiotic framework.

2. "The Sound of Music": Forget the idea that concept musicals were only around from the 1960s and 1970s. Rodgers and Hammerstein already tried their hand at that kind of show with Allegro in the 1940s. And although The Sound of Music is a book show, here's an opening number that sums up one of the major themes of the show - discovering the power of song as a true, free and emotional form of expression. Even though it may not be as sophisticated as say, "Tradition" (from Fiddler on the Roof), it's just as perfectly tailored to situation and character and shows how R&H were always working towards keeping the dramatic momentum of their musicals in motion.

Later days

[PAMIE]

My favorite things
Climb Every Mountain

[Harmonia_G]

Climb Ev'ry Mountain Reprise- a beautiful part of the show that made me love the stage version after despising the movie. Makes me cry every time.

Maria- a very clever song that shows the nuns' personalities, and the dynamics between them.

[Stine86]

Hard question...

Do-Re-Mi
Edelweiss
The Sound of Music

[HeartandSoul712]

Probably Sound of Music Reprise and 16 Going on 17.

[Mademoiselle Lanoire]

[Snow_White]

[bell]

1.the sound of music

I Have Confidence

Sixteen Going on Seventeen

and Lonely Goatherd

[ConverseSneaker]

My mum's kidnapped my script so I'll study for the big science test on monday so........I haven't seen/heard most of the songs.

Edelweiss is really pretty though.

[darthlorexa]

2 Favourite songs are:

1. My Favourite Things
2. How Do you solve a Problem like Maria

[Sammy_beck]

Mine would probably have to be
How Can Love Survive
No Way To Stop It
and anything that the Nun's sing because it is so beautiful
But then again I could be partial becuase I was one.

[Tiny-Tot]

So Long, Farewell & You Are Sixteen

[musicallover09]

I have to say two of my favorite songs are
Climb Every Mountain (partly because its a beautiful song and secondly because of the piano accom. in the score its different in selection books the big arrpeggiatic, idk if thats a word but it makes sense to me, chords)
and
How Can'tLove Surviv/No Way to Stop It
Those two are tied...
I love playing the Prcessional
that is my third one lol
