Jon, I agree----the harmonies throughout WITCHES OF EASTWICK are great, particularly on "Something" and "Look At Me." Hell, anything the three women sing together is great.

"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."
— Peter Brook
There's a boatload in "City of Angels", showing just how much Jazz influenced Cy Coleman. That score screams from beginning to end with some of the chunkiest chords, and tightest harmonies Broadway had seen up to that point. Ed Kleban also did some amazing stuff with "Under Seperate Cover" from "A Class Act", but Sondheim and Bernstein seemed to somehow be able to interweave so many complex harmonies, and chords, that trying to pick one or two would make my little nerdy brain implode...and that would hurt. A lot.
When dame fortune tosses me a curve, I never give away to despair, I hang on with every little nerve, trying to keep my balance as I dangle in air.
There's a part in Carousel , the revival, during "if I Loved You" where Billy is speaking and he says "I don't know what it is...you look up at me with that little kids face" and the underscore, It makes me MELT! EVERYTIME.
And in "Sunday in thwe Park..." where Dot says "And he burns you with his eyes....and he's never really there" that whole part...I love!

In the Into the Woods finale... on "sometimes the spell may last...past what you can see...and turn against you". On "you" it just always reminded me of a waterfall or something...love it.
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."

ooooh the ONLY really cool moment in the revival of Into the woods: The ending to Steps of The Palace w/ Jack, LRR, and Cinderella is quite cool...too bad the whole revival was ridiculous...

so i HAVE to second some of these: "bean theme" into the woods, the end of "in his eyes" J&H, (i hate that i'm going to say this but...) i really do enjoy some of the harmonies in wicked - or maybe just the contrast between chenoweth and menzel...it works for me, "i wish i could go back to college" the computer lab part rocks my socks!, and SOOOO MANY OTHERS!!!! i love that all you guys are dorks like me :)
"grace, you're stuffed in a box getting rid of ass plaque. let's face it, this evening is a bust."
I love in Songs for A New World, On the Deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship, when they say "stop, take a look at the children, at the children who believe in this promised land." It gives me chills.
I love in "By My Side" when they sing...and I'll TAKE YOUR HAND... its gorgeous.
Also I love Alice and Emily's version of "Live With Somebody You Love" as well as "Two's Company"...both have wonderful harmonies and they sing them beautifully.
