CANDY STOREE!!
Phantom of the Opera, Music of the Night, Defying Gravity, No Good Deed, Monster from Frozen, Dead Mom, Say My Name, and all the Hamilton songs
The Green Witch that it shown.
The whole being dead thing (Beetlejuice), Epic 3 (Hadestown), Carrying the banner (Newsies), Blue Skies (Holiday Inn), Welcome to the Moulin Rouge (Moulin Rouge), More than Survive (Be more chill)
All the songs from Dear Evan Hansen.
The fact Idina Menzel is part of the original cast of the songs presented in the Top 2 and 3, show us how wickedly talented she is.
i see what you did there
@@calebjfreed Took the words out of my mouth. 😂
Exactly!
Her voice makes my skin crawl. My vision of Hell is she and Bernadette Peters tag teaming me for all eternity.
Is she melting or frozen? Why not both.
As a Broadway fanatic, you can belt that I've unapologetically sung many of these songs at the top of my lungs, especially in the shower! 🚿😉🎶
Yes!!
I want to open a chain of karaoke bars named The Shower. Why? “Because everyone sounds amazing in The Shower”.
Same
@@douglasrau5094 I would so go to that karaoke bar. We should actually make that a reality.
Same
I have a feeling defying gravity is going to be really high on this list 💚💗
Yep. It's number 3.
I know that only 100 musicals could be included and this is honestly a great list but the lack of Bonnie and Clyde, Heathers and Six hurt my soul
I know right, there definitely were some masterpieces missing
Absolutely true, although I understand why Heathers isn’t on here as it has never been on Broadway (which is a shame btw)
I haven’t seen The whole list yet, but I’m sure there are numbers from many flop Broadway musicals that could easily make this list: the opening number from the 59 musical Juno (based on an Irish play Juno and the Paycock), yellow Drum and others from The Grass Harp, I Never Has Seen Snow, Gonna Leave Off Wearin my Shoes, or A Sleepin Bee, all from House of Flowers. Maman from Matta Hari. And even once your musical is picked, I would have chosen Mama Look Sharp over Sit Down, John. I should make my own list including flops. And Eve Was Weak from the Broadway flop Carrie (4 performances) is a must. So is I Want More from the Lestat musical. Let me know what you guys think of all these songs as all should be on youtube!
Heathers is amazing but its not broadway so that explains it

THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'm so happy to see "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from Gypsy so high up on the list. I got to see Patti LuPone perform it live with my Singing Actors class years ago and let me tell you, she got and deserved the standing ovation and teary eyes.
@@kpopgamingstudiosit’s such a great musical angela Lansbury is my favorite rose she is the first to win a Tony for it and the first to show roses unhinged and bitter side as well as the heartbreak in it
Bless you!!
My favorite Broadway songs are Phantom of the Opera, Music of the Night, Defying Gravity, No Good Deed, Monster (Frozen), Dead Mom, Say My Name, The whole being dead thing, Satisfied, Wait for It, The Schuyler Sisters, and It's Quiet Uptown
Who?
Asked.
Good lord. My mom and dad were theater people in highschool and college, and I am amazed at how many songs on this list were lullabies sung to my brother and I. God bless the theatre
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Defying Gravity, She Used To Be Mine, Confrontation, And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going, Beauty and the Beast, Circle of Life, Pulled, With You, Satisfied, Carrie, Memory, Seasons of Love, Rise Above, and If Only You Would Listen
Right.
She’s my daughter. I highly agree
Imelda Staunton is one of the Greatest actresses ever, the proof is she can play characters that we can either Love or Hate 🙌🏼
**coughs** Umbridge
First off, I didn’t know she’s a broadway singer. The only thing I can’t stand is her portrayal as Dolores Umbridge.
The fact that I still struggle, to this day, not to think immediately of Umbridge whenever I see her is proof of this 😂 At least I don’t immediately hate her anymore 😂😂😂
Lots of Sondheim on here. And rightfully so. The man is a Legend.
Yep. My fav show of his is Sweeney Todd. RIP Sondheim
@@kidkrowtaylor Sweeney Todd is probably my favorite musical of all time.
@@jmakins5 It's definitely one of the best
@@jmakins5 My favorite is West Side Story
There was a lot of Julie Andrews in this video. Truly, a queen
"Anything you can do I can do Better" and "There's no Business Like Show Business" -----Annie get your gun
"Seasons of Love"-----Rent
"Close Every Door"-------Joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat.
"Deliver Us" and "When you Believe"-------Prince of Egypt
All of the songs in Phantom of the opera
"Suddenly Seymore"-------Little shop of horrors
"Try the Priest"-------Sweeney Todd
"Tomorrow"--------Annie
"The Circle of Life" and "king of Pride Rock"------The Lion King
"Beauty and the Beast"---------Beauty and the Beast
"If I Were a Rich Man" and "miracle of miracles" --------Fiddler on the Roof
"Once Upon a December"------Anastasia
"Don't cry for me Argentina"-----Evita
Etc etc etc
I think one song that is missing from this list and I was kinda disappointed to not see it is As If We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Boulevard... that is an amazing song and an amazing role for the person who plays Norma, it's also become a standard of musical theatre songs
I sang along to nearly every song on this list and watched the entire thing! But, I'm so surprised "I'm Here" from The Color Purple is at 53! This song gives me goosebumps, especially with Cynthia Erivo's vocals. Also I would've picked "Falling Slowly" from Once.
I've missed "A Gentlemen's Guide To Love And Murder" in this list. I believe "I've Decided To Marry You" to top some of this songs. Otherwise, Anything Goes is definitely in my Top 10. But your no.1 pick is right on point.
“And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” is #7? The hell? That song & performance by Jennifer Holliday is #1 and nothing less. Periodt! 😒
Songs/Shows I would have liked to see on this list:
A Musical - Something Rotten
Close Every Door/Any Dream Will Do - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground - Finding Neverland
Journey to the Past - Anastasia
Who I'd Be - Shrek the Musical
In My Own Little Corner/Impossible - R&H Cinderella
Michael in the Bathroom - Be More Chill (not a big fan of the show, but that song is spectacular)
A Beautiful City - Godspell
Come to Your Senses - Tick, Tick, Boom
Perhaps... Flower Drum Song?
Cinderella?
Children of Eden?
If/Then?
I think a case could be made for some of these as much as others, but I can also see why they might be left off. 🤷🏻♂️
I wish there had been a song from seven brides for seven brothers. I loved the list, so many great songs.
A lot of this is good. But... no love for Anastasia? It's one of the most haunting series of songs I've ever heard and Once Upon A December would very easily have fit in here.
I’m like halfway through but it so should be on here
I saw Anastasia live last year
Number 15: can you bake a pie?
No…
Neither can I! 😂😂😂😂
I am glad les mis made the top but I feel like Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella, footloose, susical, six, greatest show man and Godspell should have been on the list
And now you guys know my favorite musicals
My cousin did the Susical twice!
How could you pick "You got to pocket or two" over "Consider yourself at home" or "As long as he needs me" from Oliver.
Alright, well let’s see the Spotify playlist of this now!! 😊
I would have liked to see Nine, Mame, Bye Bye Birdie, Wildcat, and Brigadoon added to this list.
Some that you missed: "Go Home with Bonnie Jean" from Brigadoon. "We Need a Little Christmas" from Mame. "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. "Impossible" from Cinderella. "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. "The Telephone Hour" from Bye Bye Birdie. "Another Op'nin Another Show" from Kiss Me Kate. And I don't think I'd have included "Mamma Mia" in this list, it's a great song, but it wasn't written for the show. If you include that, then you have to open your list to all the jukebox musicals, and I think this should be kept to those songs written for the stage.
As far as I can tell, Mamma Mia is the only jukebox musical on this list, which is interesting given the size of the subgenre. There have been plenty of hit Bio-musicals (Beautiful, Jersey Boys, MJ) and several which used pre-existing pop hits to tell an original story (Rock of Ages, Moulin Rouge, & Juliet) and you could form a new Top 100 from these...
Lots of GREAT suggestions from musicals that have stood the test of time and are still standards like 50 years later, that might have been chosen over some that have only been around 5-10 years. 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly, Memory from Cats is a masterpiece.
On the stage, not in that train wreck of a movie the only saving grace of which was to humiliate the Oscar-grubbing Taylor Swift.
Also where they said the voices were dubbed they weren’t .
An overdone one
Wow.. It's no brainer,
Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Rent and Les Miserables were in Top 5!!🏆🏆🏆😍
I went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing. The singing, the way the candles just appeared out of the smoke and also the smoke looked like water
I did as well when it came to Jacksonville a few years ago. 😌It was incredible.😌
I saw it and it was awesome! Their Carlotta was meh, their Christine was decent except for when she sang Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, their Phantom and Raoul were pretty cool, and their Meg was amazing
Where the hell is rocky horror???
Do you know Sunrise, Sunset is a parody in The Lion King 1 1/2?
1. FEELING GOOD, from The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd. It has become almost ubiquitous, covered by countless artists, most notably Michael Bublé, and even in commercials. Major oversight.
2. Maybe This Time was not used in the original Broadway production; it was only used in the movie. The song "Cabaret" I believe would have been the better choice.
3. Other choices are headscratchers in that you chose a rather obscure song (What Do the Simple Folk Do from Camelot rather than the standard If Ever I Would Leave You; Vanilla Ice Cream from She Loves Me rather than the better-known Will He Like Me, or the title song).
4. Also surprising that you chose the mostly unknown All the Wasted Time from PARADE over the rousing, anthemic opening AND closing ensemble number The Old Red Hills of Home.
5. From Oliver! You Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two is your selection as the best that score has to offer?? The spectacular Who Will Buy, the standard As Long as He Needs Me, CONSIDER YOURSELF??
IMO these are truly gross oversights/omissions.
The top 100 of all time, but nothing by Harold Arlen ("Come Rain or Come Shine," "A Sleepin' Bee," "Over the Rainbow," etc), Burton Lane ("Old Devil Moon," "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," etc), or Kurt Weill ("Mack the Knife," "Speak Low," "Saga of Jenny," etc). Only one song by Jerome Kern, Rodgers & Hart, Irving Berlin or Cole Porter, but two by Elton John and William Finn and four by Alan Menken. How about "I"ll Never Fall In Love Again' from PROMISES, PROMISES, or "Lazy Afternoon" from THE GOLDEN APPLE, or 'Here's That Rainy Day' from the admittedly obscure CARNIVAL IN FLANDERS, or "Stranger in Paradise" from KISMET.
The ad version of "Feeling Good" makes me want to puke!
Vanilla Ice Cream is fabulous!
@@maryannangros8834 I'm not saying it isn't a great song. But it is not the most iconic song from that score by a long shot.
Broadway. Is just a true gift ❤
I was in a musical play of Peter Pan as Tiger Lily at my old school in Village Glenn. For another musical I did there, I was on TV. No kidding, I was on TV while singing
Did I miss it or was there no Six: The Musical song? Or Anastasia ? OR HEATHERS??
Heathers was never on Broadway itself, so at least for that one they could have an explanation
I love your videos ❤️
I'm convinced this list is based on the songs MsMojo could find that were already on RUclips with a video clip.
So many great songs across Broadway history. One of my favourites definitely has to be The Impossible Dream. I've grown sentimentally attached to it
One of my favs could be anything classic, like anything from Hairspray
A few worth mentioning that I do not think made the list:
- Day By Day from Godspell
- Great Big Stuff from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
- Go, Go, Go Joseph from Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
- These Streets from A Bronx Tale
- Come What May from Moulin Rouge
- Let It Go from Frozen
- Michael Jordan’s Ball from The Full Monty
- Pinball Wizard from Tommy
- Happiness from You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown
Love some of these, but isn't Godspell off Broadway?
@@davidrosenberg9615 no it went on broadway twice but I would honestly do beautiful city from godspell
I would do Suppertime from Charlie Brown
I think I would put By My Side above Day by Day, but the fact that my mom remembers By My Side as the song she and her sister sang at their brother’s funeral does mean that I might be biased.
Great suggestions.
oh yes springtime for Hitler, so good, so bad to sing randomly...
I loved listening to all of these - old and new - Broadway hits! I was wondering when you'd mentioned Les Miserables (there are so many) so glad to see they were saved for last! Tough to choose because we have so many beautiful, singable, memorable Broadway songs!
I'm a super huge musical fan. Never heard of most of these plays, let alone the songs!
I actually remember hearing Anything You Can Do since I joined RUclips. There was a video of human Rainbow Dash and FlutterShy and I loved it! Even on Darcy Lynne’s performance with the famous idol
I'm a bit sad hadestown ended up soooooo soooo low
A very ambitious video and many great songs
But, HOW is Hadestown sooooooo low? So many songs above it on the list seem much worse. Also, there are other numbers arguably stronger than "Wait for me", including its reprise.
Ya missed Lilys Eyes from The Secret Garden. That song is so freaking beautiful.
Yes! But I like I Heard Someone Crying even better!
You're on the mark with most, and I could quibble with many, but you were really off the mark with 1776. "Sit Down John" is fun and sets the tone for much of the show, but "Is Anybody There" is by far the best song in the show. In Adam's darkest moment, he sings his vision for America. "I see fireworks!" Is inspiring.
One of my favorite Broadway song's is Say my Name from Beetlejuice.
I love Welcome to a Show About Death
@@Rite1010. Do you mean The Whole Being Dead Thing?
The list only includes one song per musical. I'd like to see a top 100 list of songs from musicals regardless of how many are from any one musical. In such a list, I"d think Le Mis would have quite a few!
The fact that Shrek was not on here shocked me. I mean who I'll be is amazing
💯 agree
Same here
I can't believe you ranked anything from Hamilton in the top 10
Circle of Life opened and closed “The Lion King” the same way as it brought the story full circle!
This was delightful & couldn’t agree more with your picks. #1 has had my heart for a long long time.
I find myself adding multiple versions of some of these to my playlist. How to choose between Bernadette Peters and Ethel Merman for example.
The greatest showman? 7 brides for 7 brothers? Some are missing but I don't know what I would leave off the list
Neither are Broadway shows.
I'm sorry, but "Today" is NOT the best song from "A Strange Loop". It's very good, but it's purely expository and it's definitely outshone by many others, including "Intermission Song", "Inner White Girl", "Periodically", "Tyler Perry Writes Real Life", and the title song...(I say this as someone who has now seen the show 22 times and counting)
I’m sorry, Ms Mojo, but I don’t think I’m speaking to you until you acknowledge “Model Behavior” from Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, “Omar Sharif” from The Band’s Visit, and anything from Evening Primrose.
I sincerely cannot believe more Book of Mormon songs aren't on this list. 'Hello' was maybe the 4th best song of the show. If anything, 'I Believe, 'Sal Tlay Ka Siti', or 'All American Prophet' should have taken its place.
My dad’s favorite is If I Were A Rich Man from Fiddler On The Roof and When There’s No One from Carrie the Musical
Imelda Staunton, Barbra Streisand, Bernadette Peters, Idina Menzel, & Kristen Chenoweth -broadway icons and in movies
Patti LuPone -only one in a cartoon show, Steven Universe
Circle of Life should have at least been in the Top 15, but at least My Shot is in the Top 5. Though while I will agree with the #1, I still believe that My Shot could easily be switched with the other numbers, preferably #2 or 3.
But I will also admit that that comes from personal bias and a lack of musical knowledge. I have seen the Hamilton Musical on Disney + over 50, maybe even close to a 100 times, yet I have never seen any of the other musicals. Still, I know enough, at least about Le Mis, to know that it deserved #1.
PS. as of May 2023, I have now seen Le Mis and, while I still think Hamilton and Soldier of Orange to be better musicals, I have grown to absolutely *love* all of the songs of the musical. Also, I prefer "Do you hear the People Sing" over "One Day More". It's just that this song makes me feel proud of my country - and I'm Dutch, instead of French! Goes to show what a song like that can do, huh.
Hamilton (2015) = 8 years of life
Some musicals on here are still performed OVER 50 years later. It will earn it's place if it's worthy over time. 🤷🏻♂️
While I may not agree with your rankings, you have chosen some top picks.That said, I kept waiting for, "And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going" from Dreamgirls, which is a song that's too great to have been overlooked!
Top 10!
Oklahoma! Was the very first Musical I saw as a kid. Yes, it was on VHS, but it was so awesome! I love it still.
The first musical I saw was Matilda!
While hello is a genious and catchy song, the song that comes after, two by two, is so much better
“DUST AND ASHES” FROM NATASHA PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 DESERVED TO BE ON THIS LIST
THANK YOU
Wait for Me is criminally low
Glad to see the great Julie Andrews singing I Could Have Danced All Night and Send in the Clowns. She is a really a Broadway luminous icon.
Where was she singing it?!
ok if i cant love her from beauty and the beast and i know him so well from chess deserve to be on this list
Why am I crying!? Thank you mojo, GREAT top 100 ❤
Hard to argue with a lot of these as everyone will have their favorites. I do think Me and the Sky from Come From Away should have been higher but that's me.
I’m very disappointed that Heathers was left out. Not to mention the injustice with how low Hadestown and Betelgeuse were ranked
I will watch this ALL THE WAY
I would have thought Getting to Know You would have been on the list.
I was that you would cut the chatter because to me, that kind of messed with the flow of the video, detracted from the video insofar as we're in it for the music, not the commentary.
“I LOVE Defying Gravity!!”
My pick for Number one would have been Phantom of the opera or Point of No return. They are both very good songs and the notes on both ends are very good and complimentary to the other part. But a musical you missed was Love Never Dies and unpopular opinion but I love Love Never Dies two of my favorite songs from it are Devil take the Hindmost and the Finale. Ramin and Sierra are the best Phantom and Christine. My second pick would have been Bring Him Home from Les Miserables
Aw, I was hoping for "Feed Me (Git It!)" or "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" from Little Shop of Horrors.
Eh, for Cabaret, I prefer "Money, Money."
Can't go wrong with anything from Sweeney Todd, though I do have a soft spot for, "My Friends."
Ah, another good one - Cats.
I like "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago better.
Oh yes, Phantom of the Opera! While I'll always love, "Music of the Night," I will never scoff at anything from it.
While I'm more likely to listen to "No Good Deed" first, I love this pick too.
Though I'm not surprised they're not on here, I was low key hoping that "A Penny for a Tale" or "Grace for Sale" from The Devil Carnival would be on here. Or maybe "Chase the Morning" from Repo! The Genetic Opera would've been fun to see too.
Im ready for the war in the comments when this video goes live
You and me both.
THIS video was worth the watch!
Ya’ll put Mean Girls above Hadestown??? Like yeah, Apex Predator is a fun song, but who made this list, and are they being blackmailed by Tina Fey?
I’ve always thought it was Bewitched, Bothered, and Be-Mildred. But I was corrupted by Walt Kelly at a young age.
Since I’m on the topic of this list, I did see The Color Purple. Only the 2023 movie and that song I’m Here is so powerful. I absolutely love it!
I could squabble about song placement for Carousel and Waitress and Man of LaMancha and Funny Girl and Chicago's low placement is, well, criminal. But your song choice and placement of Cabaret? Heinous! But I love the list anyway. It makes me happy....most of the time!
charming, but ridiculous! some musicals could have 6 or 7 songs on this list( fiddler, sound of music, my fair lady, south pacific, oklahoma...ect..) Do re mi isn't one of the most popular songs of all time? love guys and dolls - but luck be a lady is it's most popular! no 76 trombones? awfully subjective...yes?
Horrible choice for Camelot - If Ever I Would Leave You, I Loved You Once in Silence - so many better songs than Simple Folk. Kinky Boots - definitey Not My Father's Son. The Wiz - Home. Maybe This Time is NOT from the musical Cabaret - it was added to the film. Cabaret is the best song in the play. Sweeney Todd - Not While I'm Around. Funny Girl - People hands down. Phantom - better than Music of the Night? Lastly - One Day More - no way it is better than Bring Him Home.
1:05:15 Okay okay I'll give it to you. But only because I LEGITIMATELY STOP THE FILM THERE when watching. Sorry Hugh but as great as you are, your rendition of "Bring Him Home" is trash. Ironic considering in THIS song...I still really like you.
Um…. Close Every Door. (Joseph). Keys(Passing Strange). Worlds Apart (Big River). Fun list though
8:10 HOW IS ANYTHING FROM BEETLEJUICE AT 90?? all the songs respectfully slap.
You officially lost me with "Ol' Man River" at #39. Any serious list would have placed it firmly in the Top 10. (Who writes these lists... high school sophomores??)
I am sorry you left out Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar
Yes! Gethsemane and Heaven on Their Minds are both better songs than Superstar.
For the love of god, STOP INSISTING ON ONLY DOING 1 SONG PER MUSICAL/ARTIST WHEN YOU MAKE MUSIC LISTS!!!!
I’m starting to see why Kristin Chenoweth sang a opera song in Rio 2
Honestly defying gravity amd candy store
How is anything from the lion king now top 5
And a chorus line is my fav musical …one should be 1…was my first musical as a kid and I see it every chance it get to
Jennifer Hudson 💜
Damn it phantom should’ve been no 1 music of the night phantom …since I worked out what it’s really about it always get me
YESSS LES MIS NO 1 perfect perfecttttt chillsssssss
Where is Chicago , Le Mis , Little know Nine Danial Day Lewis ,Phantom , Papa can you hear me Yentle..Etc Etc..
Can't disagree with #1 (although I thought you'd put #7 in that spot) and can't disagree with any of these songs really although your #79 is my #1. But I am sad that you didn't include anything from City of Angels ("You're Nothing Without Me" or "Funny"?)
29:31 this feels intentional...
While I would have picked “This is the Moment” from Jekyll & Hyde, I can’t argue with “Confrontation”. I will go to the mat arguing for “Carefully Taught” from South Pacific, though.
Often the most powerful and meaningful songs from a musical are not their "hits" or most performed numbers. 🤷🏻♂️😕
Can’t believe Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Raincoat isn’t on the list.
