5. “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast
“Be Our Guest” is a tour de force, partially because of the huge variety of voices that sing it, partially because of just how grand the scope of the production is, but also the energy and earnestness in the song just add that little something extra. You can feel the joy and relief these workers have that they finally have a guest. (Music and lyrics by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, performed by Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury)
