My wish list: Top 10 disney junior shows Top 10 unimportant pokemon episodes (no catching new pokemon, no evolving, no gym/pokemon leage battle, no meeting new rivles, etc) Top 10 underrated animated disney series Best disney movie per decade Top 10 disney reprise songs (deleted included) Top 10 disney villains that deserved a villain song Top 10 disney couples with a tough start (Both movies and tv-series) Top 10 what have I done moment excluding disney and pixar Top 10 disney movie ideas (by you) 👍😉
We recently performed "Hairspray" for our local community theatre, and the girl who played Tracy had such an amazing voice, managing to hold all of the notes, and bring the house down every single night.
I wish that they'd kept "Anybody have a Map?" in the film adaptation, since it delves more into Heidi and Cynthia, as well as their complex relationships with their respective sons. It would have given the amazing Amy Adams more opportunities to sing.
What about: .Bikini Bottom Day-SpongeBob the Musical .Santa Fe/Carrying the Banner-Newsies .Prologue/The Most Beautiful Thing in the World-Kinky Boots .Arabian Nights- Aladdin .Invisible/The Whole Being Dead Thing-Beetlejuice .Oh The Thinks You Can Think-Seussical
It’s a point that’s highlighted by the delightful Hamiltonized version of The Ballad of Sweeney Todd that LMM has done a few times, but that’s what “Alexander Hamilton” immediately drives me to. Much like that Sweeney opener it’s a survey piece and stage-setter that drops these germs of ideas that we see fully lived out as the play goes on. It’s a bold choice, but just like for Sweeney, it pays off.
Unfortunately, the narcissism and intolerance of the OBC turned me off "Hamilton" forever. I just can't watch it without thinking of how incredibly obnoxious those people were/are.
10. "No One Mourns the Wicked" - Wicked 9. "Road to Hell" - Hadestown 8. "Hello" - The Book of Mormon 7. "Anybody Have a Map?" - Dear Evan Hansen 6. "Welcome to the Rock" - Come From Away 5. "Oh My God You Guys" - Legally Blonde 4. "Just Another Day" - Next to Normal 3. "Mama Who Bore Me" - Spring Awakening 2. "Good Morning Baltimore" - Hairspray 1. "Alexander Hamilton" - Hamilton
“The Whole Being Dead Thing” from Beetlejuice should have at least made the honorable mentions. I would have also included “Welcome to the Renaissance” from Something Rotten! which is a very underrated show IMHO.
No welcome to the rennaissance? Helo? It’s a bop and like the rest of the musical mostly historically acurate with hilarious wordplay. We’re called elizibethans. They’re all a bunch fo heathans. Heathans headed straight for you know where is the best example of that
Most are pretty good choices (particularly "Come From Away" and "Spring Awakening") but I would include the opening number from "American Idiot" over most of the others (especially the vastly overrated "Hamilton")...
I’m guessing sound of music didn’t make the list because it’s not a modern musical. But nothing holds a candle to The hills are alive with the sound of music
Brags of the shows amazing songs, but clearly can't play or show very much of it due to copyright laws n paying royalties. Too bad- woulda been great to see at least 16 bars of each show at least.

how funny they go for musicals, I wonder which ones are performing at this year’s parade.
Why make it about you?
What character were you?
I wish that they'd kept "Anybody have a Map?" in the film adaptation, since it delves more into Heidi and Cynthia, as well as their complex relationships with their respective sons. It would have given the amazing Amy Adams more opportunities to sing.
I was so dissapointed that they cut it from the film. It's a very important song to the plot
Them removing Anybody Have A Map and Good For You was their biggest mistake.
When he tears up in “mama who bore me” 🥺
Carrying the banner from Newsies is one of my favourites ❤️
I'm always happy when "Next To Normal" is recognized. It's just a perfect show and one of the best I have ever seen
What about:
.Bikini Bottom Day-SpongeBob the Musical
.Santa Fe/Carrying the Banner-Newsies
.Prologue/The Most Beautiful Thing in the World-Kinky Boots
.Arabian Nights- Aladdin
.Invisible/The Whole Being Dead Thing-Beetlejuice
.Oh The Thinks You Can Think-Seussical
yes that was a good one.
Was gonna say Beetlejuice
The whole being dead thing isn’t the first song in beetlejuice its invisible so that’s probably why
I've seen wicked, seeing Six in the spring!!
Moulin Rouge anyone?!? That opening number is AMAZING!
Santa Fe proglue and Carrying the banner are great opening numbers from Newsies

Fabulous list. Thank you MsMojo!
Yes! Come From Away and Legally Blonde?! I LOVE those shows!
YES HAMILTON IS GOLDEN
How does Beautiful only get an honourable mention? It is the best opening number of all. With Alexander Hamilton being second, of course.
Personal preference, I'd put Hadestown at number one. that being said, I'd go with 'Good Morning Baltimore' over 'Alexander Hamilton' any day
Jonathan Groff crying and moved by Lea's singing is pretty awesome
I would put "Corn" from "Shucked" in there - hilarious, and a great introduction to the show!
I'm surprised that "Bikini Bottom Day" from The Spongebob Broadway Musical didn't make the list.
I think the opening of Moulin Rouge is worthy of a spot, over Hamilton, even.
10. "No One Mourns the Wicked" - Wicked
9. "Road to Hell" - Hadestown
8. "Hello" - The Book of Mormon
7. "Anybody Have a Map?" - Dear Evan Hansen
6. "Welcome to the Rock" - Come From Away
5. "Oh My God You Guys" - Legally Blonde
4. "Just Another Day" - Next to Normal
3. "Mama Who Bore Me" - Spring Awakening
2. "Good Morning Baltimore" - Hairspray
1. "Alexander Hamilton" - Hamilton
Happy wednesday afternoon, Emily. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
0:36 my favorite!!!
Nice set
“It also introduces the show’s most iconic character: salesgirl number 2” the truth has been spoken!
Imo the only good song from DEH is Does Anybody Have a Map, but imo does not deserve a spot in the top 10
Yes! Hadestown is one of my favorites.
i'll agree with the number 1 pick!
Many of the shows on this list are my favorites. I adore Hadestown (love to be Hermes) and Come From Away (love to play Garth/Kevin).
“The Whole Being Dead Thing” from Beetlejuice should have at least made the honorable mentions. I would have also included “Welcome to the Renaissance” from Something Rotten! which is a very underrated show IMHO.
How did it Hansen made the cut over the honorific mentions or In the Heights or Urinetown?
How could the opening of wicked possibly be 10th? It’s so much better than many of the others.
another good opening number from a modern musical is Ring Around the Moon from The Spitfire Grill
No welcome to the rennaissance? Helo? It’s a bop and like the rest of the musical mostly historically acurate with hilarious wordplay. We’re called elizibethans. They’re all a bunch fo heathans. Heathans headed straight for you know where is the best example of that
No Hedwig.?!
Where’s Greatest Showman???
Not a Broadway show
Theres not a Broadway show of it
No Aladdin? Come on, Arabian Nights is so iconic!
I'm suprised Seasons Of Love, Jellicle Songs (for Jellicle Cats) and All That Jazz are not on this list!
They said they were not doing anything before 2000 or any remakes
All those songs are from pre-2000 musicals, so don't qualify.
Interesting thing- Seasons of Love is only at the beginning for the movie version of Rent. It’s actually the act 2 opener in the stage show :)
EVERY time Lea Michelle sings.....Jonathan Groff cries....
Six doesn't ever get an honorable mention, appalled!
Most are pretty good choices (particularly "Come From Away" and "Spring Awakening") but I would include the opening number from "American Idiot" over most of the others (especially the vastly overrated "Hamilton")...
Avenue Q is the funniest Broadway musical ever 😂😂😂😂
I’m guessing sound of music didn’t make the list because it’s not a modern musical. But nothing holds a candle to The hills are alive with the sound of music
Get ready 4 wicked
Does The Lion King count as a modern musical? Otherwise "Circle of Life" must be included.
Rent?
@@jorgealejandro672 before 2000
Brags of the shows amazing songs, but clearly can't play or show very much of it due to copyright laws n paying royalties. Too bad- woulda been great to see at least 16 bars of each show at least.
4 jews from Falsettos perfectly sums up the situation
I’m sorry. There’s a 9/11 musical????
Come From Away is amazing
