Posted: 10/29/05 at 2:35pm"Send in the Clowns" --- the reprise is so romantic, and caps off the main storyline of the show beautifully.

Everybody's Got the Right to Be Happy (Assassins)
Finale B (Rent - somewhat of a reprise)
the Phantom's reprises of All I Ask of You (POTO)
I love it when a composer uses the reprise in an unexpected place, or as part of something bigger. As much as I dislike Phantom and its score, I love how ALW had the Phantom reprising Christine and Raoul's song. Very touching.

Agony in ITW.
It makes me giggle loads more than the first one.

Somewhere that's Green (reprise) - LSOH is an absolutely hilarious reprise. Am I the only one who finds it such? The lyrics are so awful/fantastic! When I was offstage for this scene, I had put a fist in my mouth to stop myself from laughing.
Lovely (reprise) - A Funny...Forum is a great reprise as well. So funny, compared with the first Lovely.
I think I like a reprise to serve an actual purpose, rather than just be a repetition of a pretty song.

All the reprises of the title song from 'Merrily We Roll Along.'
The Agony reprise is of course hilarious.
Everybody's Got the Right from Assassins
And even though it is far from being my favorite musical (gasp! throw me in the dungeons!) I do adore the I'll Cover You reprise in RENT.

Posted: 10/29/05 at 5:40pmAlong with so many of the ones just mentioned I have to add the "Gaston Reprise" just because it is so self-serving and open about it!

Posted: 10/29/05 at 5:44pm"Small World" reprise in Gypsy. It's such an emotional turning point.

Posted: 10/29/05 at 5:52pmi agree that somewhere that's green reprise is amazing...unless you are kerry butler. When done right i think the reprise is so darkly wonderful that yes its hilarious, but so tender at the same time. Ellen Greene captured this balance perfectly. One was terribly saddened but darkly humored by her reprise...kerry playing it for schtick sickened me.

If I Can't Love Her reprise from Beauty and the Beast
"One day, is that enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that enough for you? They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more." --Waiting for Godot
