Once again musical theatre fans, enquiring minds want to know the answer to this question: what is your favorite musical theatre power song? The ballad that bursts in your breast, the patter song that primps your soul, the character number that charms to the nails!

or "And Eve Was Weak" from "Carrie"
or the opening sequence from "Goodtime Charley"

or "Sweet Thing" from "Grind!"
or The Soliloquy from "Carousel"

I'm not a musical theatre fan, but I've had to see a few and there was one song that stirs even my cold soul and it's from the Man of La Mancha. I also had to see Carousel (a rip off of Liliom) and i agree about the soliloquy. There was another musical that impressed me: Sweeney Todd with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury--but I can't remember the name of the song.

Defying Gravity -- Wicked
Rain on my Parade -- Funny Girl
Maybe this TIme -- Cabaret
Tonight -- West Side Story
Really tho ... Defying Gravity is perfect for a 'power song'.

Anything from Les Miserables....all "power" songs in my opinion. My favs are Bring Him Home and I Dreamed a Dream(one of my personal favs for singing in the shower).
