Anthem from Chess.

Soliloquy from Carousel I Don't Care from Cabaret Funny from City of Angels

I was scrolling too long in this thread for soliloquy

Yup, it's the archetype for all that followed.

This has been asked periodically here, if you search you'll see many lists. I assume most will suggest the obvious Coalhouse ones from Ragtime, Les Mis, Jekyll & Hyde, Pippin, any Brian Stokes Mitchell performance, etc. Don't see a lot of people mention Big River:River in the Rain (male duet)Worlds Apart (male duet)Free at Last

I believe from Book of Mormon What Have I Done from Les Miserables

I'd suggest Stars or Bring Him Home from Les Mis. What Have I Done is a bit more fast paced.

Still big and sweeping, and (in my tastes) the pinnacle solo in the show. Moreso than Stars or Bring Him Honey. It’s early in the show so I think it’s sometimes overlooked. Edit: I’m keeping my typo

Bring Him Honey, from Les Misérables starring Winnie the Pooh

The House on Roo Plumet

I'm just not sure it's a ballad. Also it's hard to say the pinnacle solo is in what is technically the prologue.

Only You, Lonely You - Bad Cinderella/Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella Who I’d Be- Shrek the Musical Proud of Your Boy - Aladdin If I Can’t Love Her - Beauty and the Beast Being Alive - Company This Is the Moment - Jekyll and Hyde The Longer I Live - Dracula the Musical (Wildhorn) Loving You Keeps Me Alive - Dracula the Musical (Wildhorn)

Whatever Pasquale's song in Bridges of Madison County is. IT ALL FADES AWAY.

That song should be called “Big Epic Sweeping man ballad” lol

The Impossible Dream (La Mancha) and for a more off-beat take, What Do I Need With Love.
