"Run And Tell That" is such a bop I can't believe it doesn't get more praise.
Agreed, it's insanely catchy, and I don't know why it isn't included more often when discussing the best Hairspray songs!
It’s so much fun!!
The ending with Penny and Seaweed is so cute! ❤️😆
19:59 and it was sung by George Eacker. I just noticed that Seaweed couldn’t count to 7
My favorite music-nerd thing about "Requiem" from Dear Evan Hansen is that the sister and the father's sections are in a minor key because they're angry, helpless, confused and frustrated, but the mother's section shifts to a major key to signify how hopeful and comforted she is.
Someone else noticed 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Im still upset “Good for You” wasn’t in the movie
@@jcj268 It is! The jazz band plays it in the beginning of the film. LOL
I always thought that was a fun little Easter egg. They play "Good for You" and "Does Anybody Have a Map" in the background while Evan and Jared are talking.
@@Kristine_202 i meant the full version. But thanks for the fun fact
That's really fascinating, music conveys so much, thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh!! I’m so happy that Notes/Prima Donna was on here! It’s so fun, complicated, takes INSANELY good vocals and has such a funny yet dark ending with both the Phantom threatening them and the managers and Carlotta singing about how great Carlotta is 😂
Ireland is an underrated masterpiece. At first it doesn't mâle sense, but when you pay attention to the lyrics and the dialogue before between Paulette and Elle, then you understand how broken is Paulette's heart and how desperate she is for find her true love. I love it ❤
The reprise is good too. I love it so much even though its short.
The tears I felt when “Will I” was number 1! I love that song so much! 😭
Paciencia y Fe was beautiful. I saw it on Broadway and I was in the mezzanine. Olga blew my face off with how powerful and emotional her voice was. I was obsessed with the song. Great list of songs. Some I've heard and others I have not. but they are all top notch
happy to see falsettos on this!! not many people have seen it, and i greatly recommend you guys watching it. very underrated in my opinion :)
YES❤️❤️
Yes, I love "Kindergarten Boyfriend", it really makes you feel sorry for Martha, who is the purest character in the entire show, and deserves better. There's always a stunned silence after her song, especially on the first watch.
if I remember correctly isn’t it hinted that I think it was either Kurt or Ram? who was her kindergarten boyfriend
@@edgydreamy681 Yep, It was Ram who was her Kindergarten Boyfriend, and they even kissed on the kickball field. Poor Martha holds onto this unhealthy crush on Ram because it was the last time anyone had shown her any kindness.
@@trinaq she really does deserve so much better, and for it it hurts so much more cause the one she had a crush on for so long treats her so horribly
Sometimes the audience laughs at the first part of the song (you can tell they're unfamiliar with "Heathers"), but at the end there's always dead silence
I want to like the song, but the beginning part is so off-putting that I can't stand it.
Thank you for including anything from falsettos! Charlotte is an amazing character who gets overlooked as well
SO TRUE❤❤
Thank goodness you included, “Thank Goodness.” I feel it is one of the most powerful and dramatic songs of the show. Galinda really has to have acting chops to pull off the song convincingly.
“Who I’d Be” from Shrek the Musical is still a great act 1 finale that goes hard, especially when Brian D’Arcy James, Sutton Foster and Daniel Breaker simultaneously sing reprises of their respective songs (Shrek - “Who I’d Be”, Fiona - “I Know It’s Today”, and Donkey - “Don’t Let Me Go”) till they sing all sing the final verse. Goosebumps every time I hear it.
"Will I" as well as "Life Support" are both such simple songs but with so much emotion behind them, I can't help but be affected with each listen.
“No more” from into the woods is one of my favorite songs. We did that musical this year at school and I would always cry when my awesome cast mate sings it.
I’m so glad Notes/prima Donna was mentioned!!! I recently played Raoul and was by far the most complicated yet enjoyable song from the show!! Loved every second of it!!
I freaking love Requiem!!!!! So glad it made this list
So glad to see Rent getting some recognition!
'We'd Like to Thank You Herbert Hoover', in my opinion, is both criminally underrated and underappreciated. It's such an effective number that really makes you feel bad for the vast majority of folks facing the brunt of the Great Depression, including Annie; moreover, it's not really surprising in the least that this number was cut from both the 1982 and 1999 adaptations - but at the same time, it's a miracle that the 2021 TV adaptation thankfully achieved a balance with the introduction of this number.
Good pick, although I think the official title is "Hooverville". I was in the pit for what was purported to be Minnesota's first amateur production of Annie in 1984. I've been on stage for many, but that was my one time in the pit.
@@What_Makes_Climate_Tick I do acknowledge that's the official title, but I want to make it easier on people and not have them scratching their heads.
Olga Merediz put so much emotion into Paciencia y Fe that is gives me chills every time!!
i saw Les Mis, both the movie and Broadway and omg it’s the movie that made me obsessed with Broadway
I remember the first time I listened to the Phantom of the Opera all the way through my mom was telling me the story as we went along. I cracked up when she started explaining Notes/Prima Donna 😂
All of these deserve so much more appreciation. I was surprised to find so many of my favorites on this list.
How could you do this category without "I'm Going Home" by Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, or "There are worse things i could do" by Stockard Canning in Grease.
You're absolutely right! Both songs are masterpieces. If I remember correctly, Stockard Channing got the part of Rizzo simply from singing that song.
@suzannemenuet947 How many other 33 year old actors play a High School senior!
@@bajawon It's actually quite common for them to be mid-late 20's- early 30's.
The entire score of Aida is underrated.
#FACTS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s criminal is that Wicked’s cast recording does not include the song Wicked Witch of the East. The literal and figurative harmony of Nessa’s disparity and self-proclamation while Elphaba is casting a spell to save Boq’s life is a highlight in the show. But I do agree that Thank Goodness is underrated…
Lots of these are cool. Though I would’ve also included:
.Anything Can Happen from Mary Poppins the Musical
.Hero is My Middle Name from SpongeBob the Musical
.Human Again from Beauty and the Beast
.Chow Down from The Lion King
.That Beautiful Sound from Beetlejuice the Musical
.What Do you Know About Love from Frozen the Musical
Human Again is like tied with Be Our Guest as my favorite Beauty and the Beast song but yes it is very underrated. Chow Down is insanely FUN and yeah no one ever really talks about it!
"Anything Can Happen" is my favourite Act II number in Mary Poppins, and in my personal view, it couldn't be more relevant than when this show opened in the early 2000s on the West End and Broadway. The climax of that number gives me chills down the spine every single time - and I never tire of seeing the visual beauty with this sequence's staging.
Doubt comes in, is one of my favourite Hadestown its so chilling
I would totally LOVE to hear Sutton Foster sing She Used to be Mine from Waitress!❤️
Falsettos is just so good and it is criminal not everyone knows it
I like No More From Into the woods its a good for the Baker and His Father I kind of wish it was in the 2014 Into the woods Movie.
I'm a simple person. I see Falsettos, I click
We will always support this channel. They're one of the best.
A Step to Far has always been one of my favorites! Happy to see it on this list. And, Will I is incredibly beautiful!
Honestly razzle dazzle I was one of my favorite ones to do when we did Chicago. I was stage master and prop master it was amazing to help in, and our billy was amazing!
Paciencia y fe makes me cry. Every. Time.
Jeremy Jordan being on a Top musical list more than once always feels right
Falsettos has my heart, it's ironic, devastating, so human and some lyrics are so poetic that they stick with you for a long time. It's criminally underrated
"No More" is the best song Sondheim ever wrote, and that's a hill that I will die on. The fact that they cut it from the film still boils my blood to this day. I saw the recent Broadway production several times and every time I heard Brian D'Arcy James sing it, I lost it!
It is one of his best songs ever.
98: I had a feeling a song from Wicked would be in this list. 100% I thought I’m Not That Girl but bit surprised Thank Goodness is on this list
Razzle Dazzle from Chicago is actually pretty good song
97: I love I Didn’t Plan It from Waitress
Ooo do the best CUT songs from musicals next! Bring on the Men from Jekyll and Hyde and Alone from Young Frankenstein would have to be on that one.
Add Congratulations from Hamilton to your list of cut songs
I had to do some poking on Wikipedia to get my thinking straight. I remembered that Young Frankenstein had a song about being alone, but found that it was titled Please Send me Someone. I realized I was thinking of I'm All Alone from Spamalot. At what point were the songs you mention cut and how do you know about them? Bootleg recordings? I was in an amateur production of The Addams Family, and I remember that our costumer heard the original Broadway recording toward the end of our rehearsals and was upset that "In the Arms" was cut in the version for later productions.
So many great, underrated songs!
I'd also include Heart of Stone from Six because Jane Seymour's Ballad doesn't get enough love. Whoever plays Jane has to Belt the crap out of that song.
That is an amazing, evocative piece of musical perfection. Totally agree with you.
That's Rich is one of my favorites from Newsies.
I'm surprised that I Like Him from Man of La Mancha isn't on the list. That song is so underrated. It is so hysterical!
Requiem was my automatic fave ❤
Powerful and wonderful songs amazing
9:47 yay Hadestown!
in what universe is run and tell that underrated lmao
Well compared to other songs in the musical I would say that Run and Tell That gets talked about less than them
Thank goodness for the wiiiiiiinnnnnnnn! Yay!
Yes!!! #1 is beautiful and it has such a powerful meaning.
I agree with literally like all of these- great list!
I loved this video from beg to end. The only surprise (to me) is what what considered “underrated “ songs from WSS. Never ever have I heard anybody discuss the show W’OUT mentioning both The Dance and A Boy Like That/I Have A Love. But I honestly don’t care. Just loved listening to (almost) every single song I already knew, whether or not they were the most or least popular in any of these musicals. 😊
No More is one of the best songs that I have ever heard. I was moved to tears. I was so disappointed that they cut it from the movie. Another that I was disappointed about was the reprise of Agony was cut from the movie. Both the reprise and the song have me rolling on the floor laughing because it is basically they are trying to outdo each other complaining about rich people problems.
i see tracie thoms in falsettos i click
No more is definitely one of my fav songs in Into the Woods
Shame it was cut from the movie, great song
17:38 Look at baby Colton Ryan. ❤ He went from standby to Tony-nominee.
Also...I really like the DEH movie. I don't care what anyone has to say. (It also has like a 90% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so I know I'm not the only one.) It had its faults, but I think the film version of "Requiem" is so well done.
A step too far is my personal favorite song from Aida
Everything I Know from In the Heights. One of my favorites from the show.
- THE PANTS SONG IS EPIC I mean the whole show is a fever dream HAHAHAHAHA I love you BMC
- Doubt Comes In makes me tear up every single time. I haven't seen it (legally) so the first time I listened to the OBCR the last seconds took (literally) my breath away. Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney are too talented. BUT I think We Raise Our Cups should have been up in this list. The significance of that song, praising anyone who fights for a better world, even if they don't succeed... it's so, so powerful. And Amber Gray's voice, always fun and happy in the rest of the show, brings a new depth to the song.
"Ireland" in an incredible song, in a criminally underrated musical. The last lines of that number always get me. 😢
Surprised that CATS didn't make the cut
99: The HotDog Song from Bullets Over Broadway
I have like MOST of the songs on this playlist
Does every Ms. Mojo video about Broadway have to include something from Hamilton? Kidding... kinda... but it's hard to argue that anything in that show is "underrated." Nice #1 though.
Why we build the wall😊
Cutting "No More" from Into the Woods made it a movie about relationships with mothers.
happy to see falsettos!!!
OMG The Election of 1800 is actually my favorite song from Hamilton. Wow, I never thought I'd see it on a list like this.
I don’t think that Razzle Dazzle belongs on this list. It’s a wildly popular song and finds its way into many other places.
I expected When You’re Good To Mama.
If I’m being completely honest, I only clicked on this video because Falsettos was on the cover😂
idk how Will I is underrated, it's one of the best songs in the musical, and part of the reprise of seasons of love at the end.
The reprise of tonight from west side story doesn't seem to get enough praise either. The fact you got so much going on at once and it doesn't get jumbled, especially at the end, when everyone is singing different things at the same time, is not easy
I also agree it's hard to pick from hurricane and the election from hamilton. Both don't get the attention they deserve
When I heard Rent for the first time, I couldn't believe that someone wrote a song as a round. Has that ever happened before Will I?
Something’s Coming is not underrated. It’s like the second song I know from West Side Story and I’m not even a fan of it 😂.
Much love to Mark Indelicato for making me know this one.
I stand by the fact that doubt comes in isn’t underrated, it’s just that no Hadestown fans want to talk about what happens at the end of it😭 still love the song though
No More is actually my favorite song from Into the Woods.
Doubt Comes In is low key traumatic lol both times I have seen the musical it got me. Angry and sad but mostly mad even though I know what happens. Because this show is so good at being like "the story is the same, but what if?" Giving you the idea that it could be different this time tho it never is. God I love that show...and hate it just a little lol
Skater Planet from Kimberly Akimbo.
It's very telling that you guys picked the Darren Criss version (my personal favorite) and OG movie version of Something's coming and not the dreadful 2021 version. When I watched the movie I was looking forward to see Ansel do it (this was his moment to win me over as Tony) and unfortunately, he didn't deliver AT ALL. Sorrows sorrows prayers 😆
My friend and I were just talking about falsettos and the lesbians today!! Ahahaha good timing
I think the overlooked song from hairspray is welcome to the 60s
I'll Cover You (Reprise) from RENT!
I probably would’ve gone with No Good Deed for Wicked
100: No More from Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark
Also WHO THE HELL THINKS A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN IS UNDERRATED?!?! ITS ONE OF THE BEST..I cry every time.
I think good for you deserves to be on here instead of Requiem, because at least Requiem got to be in the movie.
I love Razzle Dazzle. But I wouldn’t call it underrated. If you want to look for underrated songs from Chicago, you should look into the ones that didn’t make the movie. Like My Own Best Friend, for example
Why does no one say lovely ladies is underrated its pretty much forgotten at this point
I bet they intentionally didn't show Ansel Elgort for Something's Coming
I'm not familiar with many of these, but I think Will I, Razzle Dazzle, and A Little Fall of Rain are good picks. However, I own the original Broadway cast recording of Les Miz, and the whiny voice of Frances Ruffle bugs me. Others have done better. Delving further into the past, I will add Miracle of Miracles from Fiddler and This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific.
Tell me you don't actually know anything about the stage version of The Last 5 Years without telling me.
There is no "person on the receiving end" of that song. They only interact during their duet.
When I saw the title of this video, I immediately thought of "No More." I was very disappointed when I saw the movie and it had been cut.
I, personally, am not the biggest fan of kindergarten boyfriend and think lifeboat is so much more underrated and I love it so much. Just my opinion though
I'm sorry, but though I love Thank Goodness, the most underrated song in Wicked is I'm Not That Girl. Just saying.
I lived kindergarten boyfriend so that’s definitely one of my favorite underrated scores
Doubt comes in basically proves the Fates were the villains :P
Paciencia y fe is the best song.
❤❤❤
Will I is devastating
