Speaking of Lin Manuel Miranda, for those who wanted Hamilton cancelled, I think they miss the point if the play. He was not glamorizing philandering considering the reactions he showed with Eliza and the community. Also, the founding fathers were a) slave owners and b) philanderers. If the “characters” were not philanderers, that would be historically inaccurate. Miranda gave a new perspective to the people who as flawed as they were did great things that formed a country. It also made sense he hired people of color because Hamilton was mixed race as well so it became a small commentary on that. It was also a way to react to the (lack of a better term) complaints that people had at the time of not getting representation they needed. Very poorly explained, but I think we should focus on the positives more than that one issue with it.
For me, as a middle aged white man.. and gay musicalnerd... its also a comment that we don't need to "whitewash" the stage. Scenographers has known for years that if you pull back on the set and tells people that- "This chair and window that is on stage is actually a throne-room". People will see the entire castle. (its actually been tested, people saw things, when asked afterwards, that wasn't there) It is strange for me to see that casting is so late to this. If you cast a person in a role and tells the audience- "This is Hamilton, or Christine, or Glinda". The audience will go with you on that.. well, for me anyway.
bonus points for Lin-Manuel Miranda being on the list twice for Best Musical (2008 and 2016) Lin currently holds the record for youngest composer, he was 28 years old when he won Best Score for In The Heights Rest easy Steven Sondheim, may your legacy live on Hamilton holds the record for the most Tony Nominations for a musical (16 nominations)
"Come From Away" is one of my favourite new musicals. It did a fantastic job of portraying a tragic event, and showing how it effected multiple people and their loved ones, with appropriate sensitivity and care. 💕
My favorite musicals of the era Hamilton, Hairspray, Dear Evan Hansen & Kinky Boots to name a few. I was so sad to hear that Stephen Sondheim passed away. My favorite shows of his are Company & Into The Woods.
I did my thesis on the book “Wicked” and had the opportunity (thanks to my wonderful mother getting tickets) and I was transfixed from beginning to end and my god… the ending. My mom did not read the book but I kept telling her about it and she thought the play’s ending was way better. I agree because it was not tragic. It was the ending I wanted. Some may disagree with me but I still believe that both endings made sense with the stories they told. The book was mire tragic and the ending reflected that but the play was more happy and whimsical which made the happy ending fit well.
A lot of people would actually. Hadestown is a great musical, don't get me wrong, but it is a greek tragedy that just hasn't been spotlighted as much over the years and has a much slower pace. Not to mention it is not an inclusive musical as it is NOT cheap to see. Beetlejuice is constantly exciting and they made it accessible for people of lower income to see it. Hadestown played to classic elitist Broadway goers, Beetlejuice did not.
@@stephan13_leigh Beetlejuice was cheaper to see because it sold less not because it was trying to be inclusive or “not for the elites.” Personally I really liked it, more than I thought I would. Hadestown for me is far better but it’s also a delicate, nuanced show that’s not going to be everyone’s thing.
The pro-shot of "Come From Away" is worth an Apple TV subscription. It's magnificent. Okay. MsMojo, you almost lost your Like by elevating Beetlejuice over Hadestown. I'm sure Beetlejuice is tons of fun, but Hadestown is pure emotional devastation. But when you gave props to Six, I forgave you.
Hadestown and Beetlejuice is neck and neck for me for completely different reasons. 😂 You should definitely check it out, there’s a reason it’s so loved.
I will die on the hill that Come From Away should have won the Tony for best musical 2017 over DEH. It's a better story and the music more impactful. Also appreciate the Six love, such a fun show and the music is a major ear worm.
Agree with you - Come From Away deserved it that year. I’ve yet to see Hamilton so obviously might change my mind, but CFA is the best show of the 21st century for me so far.

as a brit who adores six, it’s so weird to hear the queens with american accents :0 like they’re supposed to be british, that’s the whole point of them (i know anna is german and some of them were raised in other countries) but it’s about english history, so it just feels weird. they sound amazing either way though!
The Tudor accent sounded nothing like modern Brits. Of course, they didn’t sing 21st century pop music and wear costumes like that either. I don’t get the focus on the accent considering nothing about the show is meant to be period/place accurate.
@@JeantheSecond i said it was weird to hear them with american accents, i never said it was wrong. we place such a focus in england upon english history so to see it good with american accents felt weird. that’s all.
I am very happy they didn't do British accents. Mathildas got so much hate for doing it as well as Annie (old NYC accent). And to be fair, it made me cringe as well. I'd never hate on it but it was cringeworthy
@@eclipsestar5601 ooof yes. I wish they did that with Mathilda. The uk setting isn't all that important and the accent was as good as kids could get it but far from believable.
What happened to Cats, The Phantom Of The Opera, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Lion King musical, On Your Feet, Shrek:The Musical, Oliver, and other musicals? 🗽🎻🎸🎷🎹🎶🎵🎟️🎤🎵
The Aladdin stage musical is on my top 5 of worst musicals for me personally. The new songs were either decent, boring or unnecessary. The addition of Aladdin's friends made his character less sympathetic because he wasn't completely alone anymore, same thing with Jasmine, she got some friends/servants who encouraged her to leave the palace, again making her less lonely, less independent and less sympathetic, the sultan was stripped of personality and Jafar was... I don't even know what he was, but it just didn't work for me.

Beetlejuice was so much fun and it was great! But to name it better than Hadestown is pretty much a FAIL. Granted, it's the only fail I see in this video, at least from 2010 to 2020 (I'm not as familiar with the contenders on the ealier years). Hadestown is IMO the best musical since Dear Evan Hansen...actually maybe since Hamilton.
I love Hairspray. Also, YES YES YES!!! Hamilton has to be on this list!! It was so good, and I love Hamilton. I can't wait to watch Dear Evan Hansen the movie,
I'm so glad y'all made Kinky Boots the 2013 winner. It's so good. I went to see it in 2018 because Kirstin in Pentatonix was in it and ended up loving it. That show basically singlehandedly made me love theater as much as I do now.
78: 20 -Didn’t see that but cool to know about that fact 19 -Didn’t know that and haven’t seen that 18 -Really wanted to see the musical on Broadway but I saw it at my friends school years ago 17 -I first saw this when I was little! I love everything about Wicked! It’s my number one favorite musical since I was a kid 16 -Haven’t seen it 15 -Wanted to see it but didn’t get the chance 14 -My parents saw that a long time ago but I haven’t 13 -I heard of the movie but haven’t seen either. I can say the same for Mean Girls 12 -I heart Lin-Manuel Miranda! Saw the movie musical on a holiday 11 -I heard it’s good. Just haven’t seen it 10 -Sorry, didn’t see it 9 -Ummm. I’m only interested of Trey Parker in Despicable Me 3. Never been a fan of South Park. Just being honest 8 -My friend loves that musical 7 -I saw Matilda on my birthday at New York but haven’t seen Kinky Boots 6 -This I love! It was funny and magical! Saw it with my dad 5 -Whoo Hoo!!! Yeah! He’s not missing his shot! I loved it! His work is amazing even in Moana and Netflix’s Vivo 4 -Haven’t seen it but I did buy a great song from the musical album. Didn’t know he was originally in Pitch Perfect 3 -Haven’t seen that either but did see Anastasia 2 -Didn’t see the musical but saw the Star filled movie musical on Netflix 1 -Haven’t seen the movie or this. I was terrified at first when I saw the trailer as a kid
it's fitting that musicals about racism were the top musicals in the years both myself and my younger sister were born, given that our main goal in our lives is to stop racism in its tracks. And Legally Blonde fits my youngest sister so well. IN THE HEIGHTS CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE MUSICALS!!!! My brother was born in the year 2009 and our whole family struggles with severe mental illness, and I need to look into this musical for that reason. The book of Mormon makes my Mormon friends and I (a pagan who grew up in a more Mormon-esc pentecostal church) laugh every time. I was about 8 when newsboys came out and I learned every move to the choreography. Kinky Boots remains an LGBTQ musical that my family will replay a million times. Hamilton wasn't even a question lmao. Dear Evan Hansen is always funny when you remember that Ben Platt is gay. But its also my very favorite musical but the film adaptation made Evan a hero when he's really an antagonist. I LOVE THE PROM SO MUCH!!! I love it so much and the Netflix movie is amazing! And my Aunt was PISSED seeing the lesbian kiss! I love Be More Chill, Beetlejuice, and Hadestown, I really can't choose which is my favorite tbh. Okay, but if you're on social media at all, SIX is going to be a musical you've heard a billion times by now.
I absolutely love come from away, it’s honestly so heartwarming. The music is amazing, and the story is just awesome. I’ve seen it 4 times, and I want to see it again SOO bad!! 💕💕
100% don’t agree with kinky boots over Matilda! Matilda is still selling out seats and a hit musical film, whereas Kinky Boots isn’t even still playing!
You focused on my favs so I’m good. I knew a few of them would be your focus (Spring Awakening, Mormon, Hamilton, DEH, etc.) but I was happy that you picked Newsies and Come From Away.
I LOVE Wicked. Iv seen it 3 times in London. After seeing it first time it became my FAVOURITE musical. It’s amazing and makes me want to come back for more. I’d happily go see it again in the theatre and would love to see it on broadway if I ever get the chance.
The ones i already watched were Wicked Newsies Hamilton Six The ones i just knew but never watched Legally Blonde In the Heigths Aladdin Dear Even Hansen Beetlejuice
I did a music theatre showcase a while back and sang I Know the Truth from Aida (sung by Sherie Rene Scott). My choir director said he has never heard me sing that well, especially for that song. Scott perfected I Know the Truth at 33yrs old, yet I did it in my early teen years. I have never felt so proud of myself.
I like irreverent comedy with clever songs, so I prefer Avenue Q and Spamalot for their respective years. I wish that it were possible to choose both Come From Away and The Band's Visit.
I love beetlejuice, but man, Hadestown really deserved the tony for best musical. The meaning of every single lyric and every single note in the melodies are breathtaking. Yeah, beetlejuice is great, but the "aigh't" at the beginning of the show all the way to the "goodnight, brothers, goodnight" at the end deserve the crown.
I AM SICK OF HADESTOWN NEVER BEING MENTIONED
YES
_Hadestown_ is so new, so it would not have been included too much
REAL!!
It’s mentioned in other lists.
They did mention it.
Hadestown may as well be the best musical pf the century but yeah beetlejuice is fun too
Seen Six 4 times now in UK and am so happy it finally got its proper broadway release it deserves.
Just looking at this list gives me chills!!! Musicals really are some of the best experiences
Hadestown deserved to be on this list
Avenue Q didn't even get a mention for 2003.. Wow.
I don’t like spring awakening but boy do i love Johnathan Groff

Rest in peace, Stephen Sondheim. You created wonderful songs, characters and shows, and you'll be greatly missed!
I just found out yesterday. I do love his work in West Side Story, Into the Woods, and Follies.
Really RIP West Side Story, Sunday in the Park With George, etc will always be remembered and will always be legendary.

Aaah got it got it... Thanks for the clarification guys! I learn something more everyday.. Much appreciate it...

You focused on my favs so I’m good. I knew a few of them would be your focus (Spring Awakening, Mormon, Hamilton, DEH, etc.) but I was happy that you picked Newsies and Come From Away.
The Book Of Mormon is my all time fave ❤️❤️❤️
Such a great show!
I LOVE Wicked. Iv seen it 3 times in London. After seeing it first time it became my FAVOURITE musical. It’s amazing and makes me want to come back for more. I’d happily go see it again in the theatre and would love to see it on broadway if I ever get the chance.
I love Heather Headley so underrated and beautiful. 💛💛💛💛
My Favourite Best Musical Of Each Year Is 2015 Hamilton: An American Musical
Ummmm where is Heathers for 2010?!?!?!?
I think this list is for broadway shows. Heathers was off-broadway
The ones i already watched were
Wicked
Newsies
Hamilton
Six
The ones i just knew but never watched
Legally Blonde
In the Heigths
Aladdin
Dear Even Hansen
Beetlejuice
hi wicked how are you long time no see I haven’t seen you since I saw you so Lao Angeles California and San Diego California
I did a music theatre showcase a while back and sang I Know the Truth from Aida (sung by Sherie Rene Scott). My choir director said he has never heard me sing that well, especially for that song. Scott perfected I Know the Truth at 33yrs old, yet I did it in my early teen years. I have never felt so proud of myself.
Myself and my late great uncle are not amused by Mama Mia not being the best of 2001
It came out in 1999 that’s why
Hadestown and Moulin Rouge not getting on this list is devastating
What’s Your Name Man ( Alexander Hamilton ) immigrants we get the job done LOL
I find a lack of moulin rouge in a lot of these lists but its ok because hadestown was mentioned.
Thank you for pronouncing Newfoundlanders correctly
I WILL NEVER GET OVER THE FACT THAT AVENUE Q BEAT WICKED AT THE TONYS
I’m not mad about it, it’s just funny
I'm a little mad about it. But 20 years later we know who got the last laugh.
Avenue Q was better than wicked…and much more clever….
Saw “Six” (with this cast) just before it went to Broadway before the lockdown. It is wonderful!
“Jonathan Larson’s debut” *shows clip of Raul Esparza without mentioning him* 😩😩😩
I need waitress to finally be mention in at least one Broadway video I watch
I like irreverent comedy with clever songs, so I prefer Avenue Q and Spamalot for their respective years. I wish that it were possible to choose both Come From Away and The Band's Visit.
Dear Evan Hansen is SO overrated.
Aladdin was pretty terrible when I saw it🤷♂️
I am wondering what a WatchMojo list of Starkid/TinCanBros musicals would look like.
So happy to see my 3 favorite musicals in this list
3 of my top 5 fav musicals are on this list (Newsies, Wicked, Hairspray)
Nah, Hadestown had to beat Beetlejuice
I love ALL your videos!!! Great work MsMojo!!!
I am so glade six made it on here I love that show!
Looking for musicals I have yet to see
Saw the OBC cast of Aida and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen
The UK musical version of Kinky Boots is way superior to the USA version imo
I love beetlejuice, but man, Hadestown really deserved the tony for best musical. The meaning of every single lyric and every single note in the melodies are breathtaking. Yeah, beetlejuice is great, but the "aigh't" at the beginning of the show all the way to the "goodnight, brothers, goodnight" at the end deserve the crown.
Why is Moulin Rouge never mentioned
I think Heathers should be in this list I don't know when it was made but it closed in 2014 and is still being done all over the world
God I'm so sick of hearing about Hamilton! Like we get it, it's great, get over it now.
I know it is so overrated, there’s lots of musicals that are way better
I will now be singing SIX for the next few hours.
