    • "What Would I Do?" (from Falsettos/Falsettoland) Just as the this list began with Falsettos' opening number, fittingly it should close with the musical's closing.
    • "I'm Breaking Down" (from Falsettos/March of the Falsettos) In the first act of Falsettos, the character Trina, whose husband has left her for a man, and who, in the proceedings thus far, has played second fiddle to her son and her husband and his lover (and even to her husband's therapist), comes downstage to take the spotlight alone and stops the show cold with a song that offers as much entertainment value as the greatest old-school show business barnstormers, and yet also functions as a painfully real monologue on Trina's plight.
    • "Change" (from A New Brain) The character of Lisa, the homeless woman, in A New Brain offers Finn and book-writer James Lapine a theatrical device. The idea is that homeless people are filter-less and can say crazy things.
    • "Love Me For What I Am" (from In Trousers) Another gem from In Trousers is the character Trina's big ballad from the end of the show, "Love Me For What I Am."
