As someone who loves a good villain song, _Assassins,_ being like 90% villain songs, is one of my all time favorites.
Mine too.
They also double as "I Want" songs.
You know how much I love using the word underrated, and that applies to the Deaf West production of Spring Awakening!
I think Aida deserves at least a mention. It’s such a beautiful show that a lot of people overlook and don’t talk about as much in musical theatre
I’ve been wanting to see a production of it for a long time
@@manuelorozco7760 it’s worth it, I’ve been in a production of it, it’s honestly amazing as both a cast member and as an audience member. It’s at the top of my list of shows I’ve been in that I want to do again
My daughter and I saw Aida (Elton John’s) many years ago at Providence’s PPAC. It was glorious! We both loved it.
@@tommydevito4105 Cool
Absolutely! "Aida" is a great Disney musical that's long overdue for a film adaptation!
I’m so glad you included Little Women. That is such a good show, and the music is great. My son was in a production of it & we loved it.
I really really want there to be a production of Assassins at Ford's Theatre. 😍 People have told me I'm sick for wanting that. But, honestly, it would be perfection.
Everyone forgets about Grey Gardens
I wouldn't really qualify THE LAST FIVE YEARS as "underrated" since really the only criteria they explained was that it hasn't had a Broadway production. The show would get swallowed up in a bigger Broadway house. It's had a revival, multiple concert stagings, and a whole movie, which is impressive for an intimate two-person show.
"Next to Normal" is underrated? Who doesn't know that "Next to Normal" is a masterpiece?
I remember waking up early before school to read the reviews for Bonnie and Clyde's opening night. I had gotten ahold of some demo recordings a couple years before and was super excited. I was so upset when the show got eviscerated by the critics.
I remember being a HS senior around that time.
YESSSSSSS I literally can’t receommend #1 enough! One of my absolute favorites ever & I didn’t know a thing about it when I saw it in high school! Beyond underrated for sure!! 🥹👏
To be fair, the most recent Broadway revival of CAROLINE, OR CHANGE was always supposed to be a limited run. It closed right on schedule.
Also worth noting, the 2004 revival of ASSASSINS and the 2021 revival of CAROLINE OR CHANGE were both preset limited runs under the Roundabout Theatre Company, so the narrative that they didn't catch on and closed too soon is kind of disingenuous. I do wish, in making these videos, the creators would research those small details that have a major influence on their entire narrative.
All Musical Songs RANKED!
SpongeBob, Beetlejuice, RENT, Addams Family!
Um, Rent is the opposite of underrated. For a while it felt like you couldn't escape it!
FINALLY someone talks about Urinetown. One of if not my favorite musical. It seems like it only really became known because of schools, theatre clubs, ect performing it
Sting's The Last Ship?! Amazing!
The last five years and next to normal are my top two favorite underrated musicals! I appreciate they both made it onto the list.
URINETOWN!! Don't be the bunny!
Yessss, love Urinetown so much
Next to Normal won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony for Best Score and Best Actress. It was also one of the most produced musicals in the country for several years after closing in New York. That hardly seems underrated.
Also, I saw Bombay Dreams and The Pirate Queen. They both received the praise they deserved - little.
I DO agree with Piazza being #1. I’ve seen it 4 times and it’s an extraordinary piece.
Little women was almost done by my local theater. They lost the rights due to the upcoming national tour. It got replaced with ride the cyclone but I’m still very excited because I love that musical too
Bandstand is one of my favorite shows, but it was forgotten almost immediately after opening. Aida as well, LOVE that show!
Yessss Bonnie and Clyde! It deserved a much longer run.
Next to normal is SO underrated. It's incredible.
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is so gooooood
"Little Women" one of my favorite scores.
You didn't mention Bat Boy which made Off-Broadway in 2001
or Curtains which hit Broadway in 2007!
Caroline, or Change! Saw the original cast on Broadway with Tonya Pinkins and Anika Noni Rose, and it has stuck with me so deeply.
spelling bee is (besides falsettos [which are both written by the same guy]) my favorite musical🫶
Oddly, your number one is probably the only one I would have left off this list. I mean it's very good, but I would have represented Adam Guettel with Floyd Collins, a show that always needed more attention and audiences. I know that technically it isn't in your time frame, having premiered in 1996, but I would have stretched that time frame to accommodate it, as I believe it to be one of the most important musicals of the past 50 years.
LOVE Floyd Collins
Spring Awakening?
I saw Alice Ripley as Diana when the national tour of N2N opened in Los Angeles. She sang off pitch at times. But I still couldn’t believe the emotionally intense story I was witnessing on that stage. But if you want real underrated, try Memphis. PS Light was my Quarantine Lullaby
Including your honorable mentions, I saw 8 of these 14 productions (including some national tours and a pre-Broadway run -- all with the Broadway casts). I've also seen other productions of some of the same, as well as a ninth entry. And I've music directed productions of at least two of these.
Personally, I would swap your Yazbeck entries. _The Full Monty_ is a surprisingly moving show in its final scenes, after being hilarious for two hours. A lot of this is down to Terrence McNally's criminally underrated script. Whereas, _Dirty Rotten Scoundrels_ suffers considerably from comparison to its source material. Even if Joanna Gleason was typically marvelous in her opening song.
Since _Caroline_ and _Piazza_ are two of my all-time favorite nights in the theatre, I'm pleased with their rankings. But at the same time ... Aren't they both near-universally adored among theatre people?
Underrated? No. I love Assassins, I have seen several productions, but I would sell my children to see Light in the Piazza again. It's complicated and adult and the score is impossibly beautiful. Most of these shows have had plenty of productions. Still, any excuse to hear Octet....
But what about:
.Seussical the Musical
.Tarzan the Musical
.Young Frankenstein
.Shrek the Musical
.The Little Mermaid
Dont forget the clockmaker's daughter
Grey Gardens should have been on the list!
Where's Shrek the Musical?
"Bridges of Madison County"
You missed Catch Me If You Can.
Hear the music play
God, I feel ANCIENT!
I would have liked to see _A Man of No Importance_ get at least an honorable mention. It's got a wonderful Flaherty & Ahrens score, yet no one knows it.
You know I wish I could see some musicals. It's a little bit hard with a new born baby. So I guess this list from miss mojo will have to do
Jane Eyre and Aida
WHAT ABOUT EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL?! Very worth it
Contact? Really? It was a 2000 Tony Award winner for best musical. This should not be on the list.
The internet is really really great
The Light in the Piazza is only underrated as the best cure EVER for insomnia. Yawwwwwwnnnnnnn!
You put a snippet of Bonnie and Clyde at the start and it doesn’t even make the list? Anything with Jeremy Jordan is instantly great, everyone knows that! 😢
But what about the clockmaker's daughter?
Made in Hungária?
Why isn't there here?
A more accurate title for this video would be "Musicals of Quality Which Didn't Run Forever But Still Get Lots of Productions (well, except for "Caroline, or Change"). The Honorable Mention selection that I would delete would be "The Pirate Queen" which, despite Stephanie J. Block giving her all, was a terrible show.
Legally Blonde should've been on here
Um no idc about musicals ..
Unpopular opinion: Anna Kendrick’s voice is grating.
