They’re going by the show more than the song itself. The show show from which the song is from had to be on stage...on broadway 1st...not in the silver screen first. Anastasia was a movie first and musical second so that’s why that song didn’t make it on the list.
My best friend and I went out to see Little Shop of Horrors. Turns out that dueting Suddenly Seymour at the top of your lungs while waiting for the train scares away everyone else on the platform.
I'm sorry but I just laughed a little too hard at this. Reminds me of when my friends belt out I'll Make A Man Out Of You in the car with the windows rolled down and we are sooo animated while singing it. @@Sidhejester
I told my daughter about watching the 1965 watching TV production of Cinderella every year as a kid because they showed it around the holidays. Last year she bought the DVD for me for Mother's Day, lots of good memories!
The Point of No Return- Phantom of the Opera Only Us- Dear Evan Hansen Dear Theodosia- Hamilton Little fall of rain-Les Mis There are so many other good duets that should be on this list. Like good job Mojo but there are definitely other ones that could have made the cut
No Sondheim other than Priest or Maria? What about Pretty Women? How about other songs from shows? The Song That Goes Like This from Spamalot. I think half of this list is kinda weak.
Not even "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" is on the f*ckin' list!!! I HATE WATCHMOJO AND MSMOJO!!!!! They ALWAYS make BULLSH*T choices!!! Not putting Sharptooth at #1 for the Top 10 Animated Movie Villains Excluding Disney and Pixar!!! They put Lord Farquaad from Shrek at #1 and only gave Sharptooth from The Land Before Time a mothaf*ckin' honorable mention!!!!! Now, I don't mind Farquaad being on the list, but he shouldn't have been at the top. Sharptooth deserved that spot!!!!! F*CK THESE A**HOLES!!!!!
Aaron Wachs oh my gosh I agree! Like if you talk to anyone to say what their favourite broadway duets are, they say, You Love Who You Love, Suddenly Seymour, For Good, and possibly Funny Honey from Chicago if that counts 😂 BUT NO ONE SAYS YOURE THE TOP (and if you can you’re one of the very few)
I love that two of these are originated by Idina Menzel lol. But how did "You And Me" from Book of Mormon not even get a mention? That song is one of my favorites.
No Jekyll and Hyde? 'In His Eyes' is gorgeous and 'Dangerous Game' is awesome too. And no Into the Woods is disappointing. 'Agony' and 'It Takes Two' are some brilliant duets. For Phantom I would've had 'Past the Point of No Return' or even 'The Phantom of the Opera' rather than 'All I ask of You.'
why would you have preferred either of those songs? i think all i ask of you is a perfect choice - it shows the real, pure love between raoul and christine where each of them only wants to make the other happy, in contrast with the abusive, one sided "love" that erik has for her.
@@milosmith5326 I don't prefer the relationship, I prefer the music. I find All I Ask of You too long and kinda boring. Past the Point of No Return is more musically interesting, same with Phantom of the Opera.
Talking about Miss Saigon: What about "I still Believe" ? it's completely heartbreaking because you know this can't end well for both women. Though actually in this special case the German version "Ich glaub an Dich" is even better
I think "I still believe" is more amazing. Chris's two loves...thousands of miles away...singing to him and about their love for him. They are competeing for his love from far away...amazing...and so well written.
Here's a few other good musical duets that could've been in this list: .A Million Miles Away (Disney's Aladdin) .(I Guess) I Miss You (SpongeBob SquarePants Musical) .Waltz for Eva and Che (Evita) .It Takes Two (Into the Woods) .Alone in the Universe (Seussical)
Suddenly Seymour should’ve been higher up on that list! It’s such a good song, with so many emotions and passion! I got to play Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors in my high school production. It was a hard song, but absolutely amazing to be able to sing and perform. I loved playing Audrey. Little Shop is one of my favorite musicals ever!
I applaud you for having the thumbnail be number ten rather than putting it much higher on the list to get people to watch the whole video. It shows you respect your viewers.
Kristin Loewen sorry, but she specifically said that the songs had to have originated on the stage. Ten Minutes Ago originated on TV. It’s as simple as that. Also, it’s a pretty mediocre song compared to other R&H hits, and the revival version, although beautifully sung, is painfully slow paced.
@@noblespirit03 It really doesn't matter that much. I respectfully disagree with your comment though. I love the Broadway version of Ten Minutes Ago, I think the sped up version of it takes away from the song. But again, this all really doesn't matter much
I love for good. In our theatre company, we dedicate that song to a girl who was a student there, but sadly passed away 2 years ago because of anaphylactic shock (an allergy reaction). Brings me to tears every time :)
That was the first song I thought of. But I knew it wouldn't make the list, because of the rules--the song had to have originated on stage. "I Know Him So Well" didn't originate on the stage. Damned shame, because it deserves inclusion in the top five, at the very least. Isn't it madness?
@@TheChristianaut how did it not originate on stage? I think there was a concept album first (maybe), but I don't think it was written for anything but the stage.
@@TheChristianaut but it did, didn't it? I know it was released first as a concept album, but so where JCS and Evita. The songs were still written for the stage, but the concept album let them test the audience reaction as well as raise money to finance the stage production.
Just saying “In His Eyes” from Jekyll & Hyde is a phenomenal feat of a duet to sing. One of my favs! Glad to see “Lily’s Eyes” got an honorable mention.
But, what about: Two Player Game: Be More Chill The Chess Game and What Would I Do: Falsettos Seventeen: Heathers You and Me (But Mostly Me): The Book Of Mormon
Great list and I'm glad you included so many old stand-bys, but I had to smile a little at #6, when you showed Natalie Wood (Maria) and Richard Beymer (Tony) "singing" that beautiful duet, since all Maria's songs were dubbed by Marni Nixon and all of Tony's were voiced by Jimmy Bryant. (I was equally disappointed when I discovered that the late, great Peggy Wood's singing as Mother Abbess in the film version of "The Sound of Music" was dubbed by Margery McKay. "Climb Every Mountain" was very inspirational, used for many events.
Rent was not set in 1989. That was the movie's decision, and it doesn't make sense with some of the references in the songs (such as referencing Thelma and Louise, which came out in 1991). The musical never specifies. I always assumed it was early to mid 90s.
It’s definitely not set in 89 since Mark and Roger sing about ‘living in America at the end of the millennium’ so I assumed mid to late 90’s. But I could be wrong.
@@manuelorozco7760 The movie, yes, but this list is about the stage productions. They decided to set the movie in 1989. But it refers to things that happened after 1989 (like the movie Thelma and Louise, which came out in 1991), so that never really made sense. In fact, that's why they set Rent Live in 1991 instead. But the musical itself never specified.
In addition to the lyrics, the music to You’re the Top is just as brilliant. Especially the intro where instead of simply repeating the musical phrase twice, she misses it right where she sings the word miss in “...that I’ll probably miss a bar.” Brilliance. Just pure brilliance.
As a performer my favorite duet has been Pour Jud from Oklahoma! It was a fun way to toe the line between darkness and comedy. The harmonies are pretty satisfying
I ADORE that song. I haven't seen "Chess," but are the characters actually together during that song, or are they musing separately? And I know Quartet is a... quartet... but what a great tune, too. :) Oh, and I like to sing "Anthem" to myself on occasion to make myself cry. I wish I loved anything as staunchly.
@@greytgreytx The two characters (Florance and Svetlana) and both over watching their love (Anatoly) while he's being interviewed on TV. You can watch Chess in Concert on DVD. It stars Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and Kerry Ellis. It's well worth the watch!
A lot have already been mentioned, but I love A Million Miles Away (Aladdin), Dear Theodosia (Hamilton), and like 3 other songs from Les Mis aside from the Confrontation (Come to Me, A Little Fall of Rain, and Valjean's Confession).
Nice to see that the youngsters included the bench scene from Carousel and the balcony scene from West Side Story even if they were surpassed by duets from Rent and Wicked. Where is Jason Robert Brown’s jaw dropping “One Minute and a Million Miles” duet that has had about a million views on UA-cam being recorded by two of the top voices on Broadway: Kelli O’Hara and Steven Pasquale.
@@gracehalsey9661 Yup. Most people don't know that Cinderella was actually a made for TV movie BEFORE it went to broadway. I knew that already, but I had a similar mistake because I was wondering why "White Christmas" wasn't mentioned. Then I looked it up and saw that although "Holiday Inn" was a movie in 1942, it didn't actually become a broadway musical until 2014. Where would we all be without Wikipedia? Heh
I was wondering if it was something they would have written for another show and just moved it into Cinderella but no.. can't find any proof of that. They goofed!
If you make another playlist you should include Crazier Than You from Adams Family or A Whole New World from Aladdin!! But I literally agree with everything on this list
@@icook1723 Actually the film version did come after the original musical theatre run though it was only known as The Rocky Horror Show - picture was added for the film.
These Top Ten lists by Mojo are myopic. When Mojo says "Of All Time", she means in her memory. Broadway has been around for over 100 years and talking pictures for over 90 years. Many of the best shows and movies came in the 30's and 40's. But that must be before Mojo's time.
a few songs i personally believe should be on here: ALL ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE-SUESSICAL in a crowd of thousands-anastasia seventeen-heathers agony-into the woods
I really wanted to see: Movie in my mind- Miss Saigon, What was good enough for you- Bonnie and Clyde, Agony- Into the woods, and It only takes a taste- Waitress
Broadway Life WTG on the Bonnie & Clyde shout out! My best friend Victor Hernandez played Clyde’s father before it went & on Broadway!! I still remember the day he got the call that the show was going to Broadway, we had a few cocktails that night, to say the least!! LOL
What You Mean to Me - Finding Neverland is so, so underrated. But I'm so happy to even see The Next Ten Minutes mentioned here! One of my favorite duets of all time 💕💕
I'm glad you guys credited people like Marnie Nixon and Jimmy Bryant for their singing rather than the actors on screen. They deserve to finally be noticed.
What about... “Seventeen” Heathers “Someday” The Hunchback Of Notre Dame “In His Eyes” or “Dangerous Game” Jekyll and Hyde Just some ideas for next time✌️👌 OMG IM SO GLAD AN ANYTHING GOES SONG IS HERE THOUGH LOL
Raye J interesting question, I think it would be considered a duet since it is technically a different character and the actor makes obvious moves to ensure that we as the audience knows who’s singing, and the fact that they are arguing lol
Growing up during those earlier times I've seen them all and "Suddenly, Seymour" floored me and still effects me to this day. It doesn't get it's due maybe because those two singers aren't big name. To me it out shines all of them
Love musicals? Be sure to also watch our video of the Top 10 Broadway Songs That Make Us Ugly Cry: ua-cam.com/video/hzOmPPE8EcU/v-deo.html
Please make a list of the best musical movies 🙈 based in musical of not
You broke your own rule with #9 - R&H's Cinderella originated on television, not on the stage, so "Ten Minutes Ago" shouldn't be on this list.
Super disappointed not to see ‘shall we dance’ from ‘the king and I’ on this list
Ok. I think I have.
Usually I disagree with you on musicals but this video is spot on. Great job
Ms. Mojo continuously sleeps on Anastasia.
To be fair, Anastasia was a movie first. But definitely great music!
@@clairethechimera9718 Crowd of Thousands originated on Broadway
@@eloramaxwell7020 good point. Carry on, my dude

The Point of No Return- Phantom of the Opera
Only Us- Dear Evan Hansen
Dear Theodosia- Hamilton
Little fall of rain-Les Mis
There are so many other good duets that should be on this list. Like good job Mojo but there are definitely other ones that could have made the cut
Yes!!! And seriously, SERIOUSLY, WatchMojo, how is For Good not #1?? (just my opinion)
Dear Theodosia definitely should have been on the list
Oh, and little fall of rain makes md cry every single time I hear it ❤
A little fall of rain made me cry so much! :'(
Omg you’re sooo right
Agony from Into The Woods anybody?
Such a hilarious song.
Love that one
Absolutely!
The reprise, right? The reprise is even funnier
yesssss super dramatic guys' duets are my trope
Suddenly, Seymour at the bottom of the list? For shame Ms Mojo
Caitlin Eyers SHAME!!!!!! Audrey was SANGING. She was giving us vocals.
The placement hurt me
For Good from Wicked never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Idina and Kristen rock!
I agree so much!
Wickedfan219, I’m seeing the musical in September.
Vanessa Stegall For Good was the first song I heard from Wicked
They are the best actors to play Elphaba and Glinda
Absolute tragedy that 'granger danger' isn't on here
None of Starkids masterful works are in these list since they sadly aren't that big
Real sad boi hours with this comment
Stephanie Reid LMAO TRUE
this is the only acceptable comment
oh shit you right-
Best of Wives and Best of Women - Hamilton
I'll Cover You - RENT
One Short Day - Wicked
and
I Got You Beat - Shrek
those are some of my favorite duets
I'll cover you is one of the best!!
I love Shrek the musical
Here’s another one:
Seventeen - Heathers
best of wives is quite short so i understand why it isn't on the list but an honourable mention would be nice bc it's underrated sksks
Does farmer refuted count as a duet? xD
Pretty Women- Sweeney Todd
You and I - Chess
Elaborate Lives (Reprise)- Aida
So many missed opportunities but a good list nonetheless
Everybody forgets about Chess. Some real gems there.
No Sondheim other than Priest or Maria? What about Pretty Women? How about other songs from shows? The Song That Goes Like This from Spamalot. I think half of this list is kinda weak.
SUDDENLY SEYMOUR SHOULDVE BEEN WAAAAAAY HIGHER!
Thank you for coming to my ted talk 😂

Without any mention of theese!

But how did "You And Me" from Book of Mormon not even get a mention? That song is one of my favorites.
Ooh that song is great!
"You and Me" is my favorite of all.
Idina is queen!
RonHeartsMe (but mostly me)
You and me is technically a duet but doesn't feel like it. I think baptize me would've worked better.
I love that they used the clip of Michael Ball and Sarah Brightman singing "All I Ask of You". I absolutely love that performance!
i see seymour and audrey, i click
Saaaame

"Broadway's attempt at a pop song"
Have you heard Six the Musical?
Old school Broadway. New Age Broadway is of course filled with pop due to how dominant the genre is nowadays.

For Good is so emotional. I love that song
Same
Not even an honorable mention for bad idea from waitress?
THANK YOU!
Goitske That song is so damn funny
oh my word yess.
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME
UMM HOW ABOUT YOU MATTER TO ME SIS
I personally think that "One Last Time" from Hamilton was a great duet between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton.
Agreed. Same with The World Was Wide Enough, between Burr and Hamilton.
@@seamusburke3350 honestly, all the duets in "Hamilton" were awesome.
Dear Theodosia is amazing and rips my heart out the moment it starts! The piano just feels nostalgic for some reason.
What about Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon?
Shadz Same question here.
Talking about Miss Saigon: What about "I still Believe" ? it's completely heartbreaking because you know this can't end well for both women. Though actually in this special case the German version "Ich glaub an Dich" is even better
absolutely!!!!
Ms Mojo NEVER includes Miss Saigon
yes! Last Night of the World is pretty good too! may fave duet though is Please by Kim and John and that incredible counter singing on the last verse.
In a crowd of thousands from Anastasia??????
It was a movie first. The list said it had to originate on Broadway
Hayley Gilbert PERFECTION
newageoutlaw that song wasn’t in the movie
Eh regardless. It's not as good as other songs on the list.
the song crowd of thousands originated on broadway, so technically it could’ve made the list
I get chills listening to "all I ask of you" it was actually one of my parents wedding songs. The whole POTO soundtrack gives me chills
Million miles away, Dear Theodosia and Two Out of Three Ain't Bad/What Part of my Body Hurts the Most should have been in the top 10...
Dear Theodosia, Yes!
million miles away 100%, so underrated.
Dear Theodosia and Best of Wives Best of Women
I'm so glad that If I Loved You is on this list as Carousel is often overlooked as a masterpiece
My favorite is Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon. Lea Salonga is nothing but ICONIC!!!
I expected Sun and Moon to be on the list
I love that but Last Night of the World is better
“The Movie In My Mind” is another great duet from Miss Saigon. When Rachelle Ann Go belts the high note, it gives me the chills!!
I think "I still believe" is more amazing. Chris's two loves...thousands of miles away...singing to him and about their love for him. They are competeing for his love from far away...amazing...and so well written.
Seventeen from Heathers?
thank you!!!
Exactly
YESSS
*yes*
i clicked on this video because i thought seventeen would be here
Here's a few other good musical duets that could've been in this list:
.A Million Miles Away (Disney's Aladdin)
.(I Guess) I Miss You (SpongeBob SquarePants Musical)
.Waltz for Eva and Che (Evita)
.It Takes Two (Into the Woods)
.Alone in the Universe (Seussical)

Thank you for remembering that Audrey and Seymour are actually A PART OF THE MUSICAL WORLD TOO!
Because everyone tends to ignore it!
“Point of No Return” Phantom is spectacular,,...also the duet from Miss Saigon “I still Believe” is awesome IF strong female voices....chills
Ellen Greene is ICONIC. Suddenly Seymour is my jam😍
When I was raising my 17 year old I would belt out "Suddenly Seymour" over and over again when he was a toddler... I wore that DVD out!

I always assumed its was set on 1995-1996, when it premiered
"Picking out a single duet from The Phantom of the Opera is a near impossible task" -- which is why TWO should be on this list change my mind.
Some great duets in Hairspray. "You're Timeless to Me" always makes me laugh, but certainly this is still a good list (even if a little out of order).

What hurt even more, was that they chose a scene from the movie and let Russel Crowe destroy Javert again.

@@littlesongbird1 it started out as a tv special with julie andrews, it didn't make it to broadway until 2013
@@gracehalsey9661 Yup. Most people don't know that Cinderella was actually a made for TV movie BEFORE it went to broadway. I knew that already, but I had a similar mistake because I was wondering why "White Christmas" wasn't mentioned. Then I looked it up and saw that although "Holiday Inn" was a movie in 1942, it didn't actually become a broadway musical until 2014. Where would we all be without Wikipedia? Heh
I was wondering if it was something they would have written for another show and just moved it into Cinderella but no.. can't find any proof of that. They goofed!

For Good gets me EVERY single time. I can't sing it - and can hardly listen to it - without crying.
I got so excited when I heard Ten Minutes Ago, it's honestly my favorite song ever
If you make another playlist you should include Crazier Than You from Adams Family or A Whole New World from Aladdin!! But I literally agree with everything on this list
In a crowd of thousands from Anastasia is my #1😍😍😍
Same.
...I clicked cause I was hoping that Damnit Janet from RHPS would be here.
I was very disappointed
They said songs that originated on stage. RHPS was in movies first.
@@icook1723 Actually the film version did come after the original musical theatre run though it was only known as The Rocky Horror Show - picture was added for the film.
I stand corrected
@@icook1723 the stage version is amazing. There is a video on UA-cam of the latest London production. It's awesome.
@@icook1723 it was The Rocky Horror Show in 1971 before it was a picture show in 1975.
These Top Ten lists by Mojo are myopic. When Mojo says "Of All Time", she means in her memory. Broadway has been around for over 100 years and talking pictures for over 90 years. Many of the best shows and movies came in the 30's and 40's. But that must be before Mojo's time.
Please make a top with only Jeremy Jordan’s broadway songs 🙏🏻
Yes!!!
PLEASE
YES I KNEW TAKE ME OR LEAVE ME WAS GONNA BE ON THIS LIST AND I LOVE THIS SONG
a few songs i personally believe should be on here:
ALL ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE-SUESSICAL
in a crowd of thousands-anastasia
seventeen-heathers
agony-into the woods
SEVENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
you love who you love is usually soooo slept on... im so proud
I really wanted to see: Movie in my mind- Miss Saigon, What was good enough for you- Bonnie and Clyde, Agony- Into the woods, and It only takes a taste- Waitress
Broadway Life
WTG on the Bonnie & Clyde shout out! My best friend Victor Hernandez played Clyde’s father before it went & on Broadway!! I still remember the day he got the call that the show was going to Broadway, we had a few cocktails that night, to say the least!! LOL
Tinker Hell thats awesome! Bonnie and Clyde is such an underrated show.
I AM LIVING FOR THIS BROADWAY CONTENT! MsMojo y’all are on the right track...I see Broadway, I click
Pierre & Natasha? The entire act 2 of Bridges of Madison County?
What You Mean to Me - Finding Neverland is so, so underrated.
But I'm so happy to even see The Next Ten Minutes mentioned here! One of my favorite duets of all time 💕💕
what about "I know him so well" from Chess?
OMG yesssss!!!!
That's one of my all-time favourite songs, full stop! Let alone from musicals...
Amen came to comments to voice my surprise this would be my number 1
ABSOLUTELY, POSILUTLEY, FANTASTIC! CORDEN GLOWS AS BRIGHTLY AS BROADWAY!!!
That thumbnail tho lol
It's nice to finally see your face btw
I love all of these songs. I really, really wish that In A Crowd Of Thousands was on this list. It is an amazing and a pivotal plot moment.
I'm glad you guys credited people like Marnie Nixon and Jimmy Bryant for their singing rather than the actors on screen. They deserve to finally be noticed.
for good never fails to make me cry such a amazing song 😍😍😍😍
Yep.
im so glad take me or leave me is on the list!!
What about...
“Seventeen” Heathers
“Someday” The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
“In His Eyes” or “Dangerous Game” Jekyll and Hyde
Just some ideas for next time✌️👌
OMG IM SO GLAD AN ANYTHING GOES SONG IS HERE THOUGH LOL
Mentioning Jekyll and Hyde gave me a thought. Would Confrontation count as a duet or a solo? Its one actor but two characters
Raye J interesting question, I think it would be considered a duet since it is technically a different character and the actor makes obvious moves to ensure that we as the audience knows who’s singing, and the fact that they are arguing lol
Someday was written for the animated film (was cut, used in the credits, and originally not a duet)
Oh my gosh it was so much fun to see the narrator! I've wondered before what she looked like. And of course she's adorable! :)
“something to believe in” from Newsies
yes, thank you
Growing up during those earlier times I've seen them all and "Suddenly, Seymour" floored me and still effects me to this day. It doesn't get it's due maybe because those two singers aren't big name. To me it out shines all of them
"Do You Love Me?" from Fiddler on the Roof
omg yes!!
That’s what hoped to see
I’ll cover you- Rent
romantic atmosphere- She loves me
Champagne- In the heights
Momma come outside- Hairspray
Dear theodosia- Hamilton
these my favs🙂
I don't think Ms. Mojo knows that hadestown exists
Right? I was hoping "How Long" would at least get an honourable mention!
@@raniwasacyborg YES!!! How Long? is one of my favorites, so slept on!
RaniWasACyborg Wedding Song is super underrated aswell
In a crowd of thousands!!!!!!!!!
Just an FYI: Cinderella was written for television and was performed there FIRST before it ever ended up on stage.
I remember the Leslie Ann Warren version.
What Would I Do? Falsettos? The song that never fails to rip out my heart and step on it? Not even mentioned? Tragic.
No Miss Saigon even though it has incredible duets? Sun and Moon, I Still Believe, The Last Night of the World.
Agreed, & Movie On My Mind
'In a crowd of thousands' is quaking!!!!
