I adore the entire "Les Miserables" soundtrack, but "One Day More" gives me chills every time I hear it, and I try, and usually fail, to sing every single harmony! 😅

“Sunday” sung in honor of Sondheim’s memory by an entire choir of Broadway cast members gets me every time.

Empty chairs at empty tables Les Mis gives me chills every time. Heck that whole production gives me chills.

Come From Away FINALLY GETTING THE BIG LOVE IT RICHLY DESERVES!!!!

The Bells of Notre Dame from The Hunchback of Notre Dame gives me CHILLS because of how amazing the harmonies are.

The entire score of Come From Away should be on this list. Nice to see this brilliant show getting some love

The West Side Story harmony has been giving me chills since it came out in the 1960s..love!

Sees Ramin in the thumbnail…automatically clicks and thumbs up

"For Good" from Wicked not even making the Honorable Mention?? Shocking!

Do You Hear the People Sing? is just the epitome of chills for me. And as I was raised on a capella music in church, I am game for just about any music that fits that genre.

The first time I heard “Will I?” on some Rent production in my country, I cried. Especially because there was also the on screen subtitle. Reading the lyrics just hits you hard

Finale B from Rent ALWAYS brings me to tears.

"Home" from Beetlejuice. Lydia singing out for her mother, begging not to give up hope on her dead mother even standing in the Abyss of the Afterlife...it just leaves me drained after taking me on an emotional ride. And it's beautiful, a child in desperate need growing strong on the memories as the song climaxes.

"Prima Donna" from Phantom; "Lily's Eyes" from Secret Garden; “Too Much For One Heart” from Miss Saigon; "Ragtime" from Ragtime; "Into the Fire" from the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Come From Away the most underrated musical and deserves so much love. I’d say “38 Planes (Reprise)/Somewhere In the Middle of Nowhere” would be my pick for the harmonies

Come From Away is amazing, from the opening beat to the closing screech. The part that always gives me goosebumps is "somewhere in the middle of nowhere." I will turn that song on just to soak up the harmonies.

Excellent pick for #1!! The multiple languages coming together in prayer is beautiful.

The key change in Once and For All is just *chef's kiss*

"Make our Garden Grow" from Candide "Impossible Dream - Reprise" - Man of La Mancha "Guenevere" from Camelot

I had a feeling something from Come From Away was going to be #1. And as soon as Prayer started, so did the tears.

Literally cannot listen to Prayer without crying. Cesar Samayoa who played Ali was incredible and being Muslim myself it really hit hard.

Will I The song is heartbreaking, especially when the people who are dying or surviving from HIV/AIDS 😢😢😢😢😢

"Ragtime" has one gorgeous harmonic moment after another as in "On The Wheels of a Dream" but when the entire ensemble sings the title song from the show, it is theater magic.

"Morning Glow" from "Pippin" . Those harmonies still give me the chills.

Les Mis blows me away every time. Got to take the hubs and 14yo son last month and they both LOVED it! ❤ "On My Own" and "Bring Him Home" always make me ugly sob lol

Your #1 pick is spot on.

What about “ By my Side” from GodSpell?

I was about throw hands until I saw your #1. I knew it had to be there somewhere, and when it didn't even get an honorable mention, I was ... perturbed, shall we say. It is _such_ a spine tingler, and in context of the story, the live production version I was lucky enough to see was just awesome. So glad it got the recognition. ❤ Another one I'd have liked to see here, even though it is only a very simple, two part harmony, is "For Good" from _Wicked._

You convince me. Time to listen to Come from away another time. And cry in 7 independent places...

The Les Mis moment 'take my hand, and lead me to salvation' with Leah Salonga, chills every single time. I adore that musical, and have many favorite songs. But that one moment is just an ear-gasm.

I’m a simple woman… I see Ramin I click

Will I from Rent always gives me chills. The amount of layers to the song as well as the haunting melody are incredible.

The final minute and a half of "Esmeralda" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame Act I is like. Huge.

I'm so glad you talked about the show Aida, it is a very good musical that is not talked about very often.

I feel like "I Heard Someone Crying" from The Secret Garden should have been included in this list. It sadly gets left out of a lot of videos about musicals on this channel.

I am a TRUE Broadway fanatic! I love how guys keep coming up with interesting topics. I would have NEVER thought of "best harmonies" and I LOVED THIS!!!! Thank you!

"Make Our Garden Grow" from 'Candide'

Who I’d Be from Shrek the Musical. It never fails to give me chills.

Wicked needed an honorable mention at least 😮

Ragtime. First time I remember getting chills while seeing a show and knew Broadway was and will always be my passion. But everything else on the list I agree with.

Thank you for putting “Prayer” at number one! It’s one of the songs in Come From Away that every time I hear it I get tears in my eyes

I don't know if it can compete with the full ensemble numbers, but On the Willows from Godspell is just stunning and chill-worthy.

What gives me chills are Hamilton and Fly by Night. From Hamilton it’s Quiet Uptown, Dear Theodosia, One Last Time and Who Lives Who Dies Who Tell Your Story makes me cry 😭

The most emotional moments in shows are done with great harmonies.

Who lives who dies who tells your story. Happy wednesday afternoon, Emily. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

I was not expecting come from away as #1, I’m seeing the show, and the heading to Canada and Newfoundland for my graduation gift from my parents.

come from away absoulutely deserved the top spot. also the fates harmonies are always so good

Those final two harmonic notes as they sing "Bobby" in the first two minutes in Company - total freaking magic.

Come from away!!!!

These harmonies are pure magic, giving me goosebumps every time!

My particular song from a musical that isn’t a harmony but a solo, is “Bring Him Home” from “Les Miserables”. I just wept uncontrollably when this is being sung. The older I get the more it resonates.

'Flying away' is my favourite musicals song. I love 'Fun Home' so much

At the ballet not being mentioned 😢breaks my heart

Miss Saigon is overlooked again. Bui Doi should be on this list. Miss Saigon should be on many other musical lists but seems to always be overlooked or MsMojo and Mojo don't like the play.

I’m so happy “Once and For All” made it on this list, even in honorable mentions. It still gives me chills each time I hear it, even now.

The final "Dream the Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha"

Almost everything on this list is modern (even West Side had a recent remake). I would include "Sunrise Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof

Any Rent song is heart wrenching ❤ Love every single song!

Thank you for including Shadowland! Those harmonies are AMAZING! Its easily favorite song from The Lion King musical.

Those you've known Heart breaking and then hopeful and strong,with that 'You watch me ,just watch me,l'm calling and one day all will know...' The voices of the three leads from the original cast together are wonderful I cry and have chills everytime The end of Hamilton is a super close second

This list was definitely skewed to more recent shows. I was confident that "Make Our Garden Grow" was an obvious no. 1, only to find it ignored. Also, the harmonies in "We'll Catch Up Some Other Time" from "On the Town" are exquisite, tho not as loud as the choices on this list. The opening of "Ragtime" and the ensemble "Till We Reach That Day" are grand (and "Reach That Day" is also heartbreaking).

Sorry, but Le Mis is by far No 1.

I love a good harmony so so much, Finale B in Rent gets me every time. How I wish I could have seen the original cast of Spring Awakening live.

You did a great job! I'd consider Shrek-- "Who I'd Be"; Wicked, "What is this Feeling"; Legally Blonde, "Omigod You Guys"; Bye Bye Birdie, "Ed Sullivan "

Aida getting the recognition it deserves 😍👏👏👏

The Song from a Summer Day from "The Most Happy Fella" is one the best choral harmonies in Broadway song. It does not get much recognition. "My Fair Lady" eclipsed "The Most Happy Fella" in popularity. And This Is My Beloved from "Kismet" is exquisite. I wish you had gone further back in time. Perhaps you should devote a section to 20 Exquisite Moments from the Golden Age of Broadway and include those and others.

You really did great on this one. Every one that instantly came to mind you brought up 😊

Who Lives, Who Does, Who Tells Your Story always WRINGS every tear and every last emotion out of me!!

Well, anything sung by Ramin Karimloo or Philip Quast does it for me.

K, how is "I Know It's Today" from Shrek: The Musical not on this list... it slays me EVERY TIME!

I saw this on Broadway... it was stunning.... Mandy and Bernadette...

Very surprised 'The Color Purple' starring Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson, and Danielle Brooks didn't make the list.

One Day More is far more powerful then Do you hear the people sing. It builds perfectly.

Falsettos Year of the child has one of the best chords in musical theater

A good list with some of my faves in there. Though I reckon All Good Gifts and By My Side from Godspell, with their stunning harmonies, should rate a mention.

I really wish "Shadowland" was included in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King"! Beyonce would've won an incredible job singing it! Also, "Aida" is a great, underrated Disney musical that's way overdue for a film adaptation!

My Top 4 1. Sunday 2. Do You Hear the People Sing (Reprise) 3. Prayer 4. Who Lives Who Dies...

The Fates in Hadestown are a standout in the show.

Shadowland continues to be one of my *very* favorite musical numbers. I love that it puts words to the sorrow song from the original movie.

Although I’m not a huge Pasek and Paul fan, the ensemble harmonies in “Ralphie to the Rescue” in A Christmas Story Musical still give me goosebumps. Honestly an underrated adaptation.

Quartet At The Ballet and Stay, I Pray You. Both from Anastasia. Absolutely haunting and they both never fail to give me the highest of chills.

I did in fact get goosebumps repeatedly while watching this, and also started getting vaguely teary eyed around Fun Home and just when I thought I'd maybe started to pull it together during Once you hit me with the freaking Les Mis finale and it was all over for me. Just sitting in bed openly weeping at a Ms Mojo list. That's cool I guess. Anyway some of my favorite harmony moments I kept thinking of while watching this (oops this list got much longer than intended): - the a capella verse of Morning Glow from Pippin - the end of the I Love You Song from 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - the last verse with the counterpoint parts that make me legitimately emotional in Fantasies Come True from Avenue Q - What I Did for Love from A Chorus Line, especially when the key changes and there's that chord that resolves so beautifully - Forgiven from Jagged Little Pill. Just absolutely obsessed with this arrangement and with Elizabeth Stanley's performance. Also shout out to the harmonies in That I Would Be Good, too - the amaaaazing dissonant chords in Natasha and the Bolkonskys from Natasha and Pierre - every second of When I Grow Up from Matilda - for some reason I'm such an enormous sucker for the song Take it From an Old Man from Waitress and I love the gentle backup harmonies in it, I think they - a lot of moments in Next to Normal but the stand outs for me being I Am the One and Light - honestly so many moments in The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In from Hair, but particularly the a capella ending from the 2009 revival version that was staged with the reveal of Claude... oh no... getting feelings just thinking about it. Look I'm a sucker for a dramatic a capella moment!!! I started this list there and I'll end it there lol

I love that Fun Home was in this.

Tonight Quintet.really great. LEONARD BERNSTEIN. STEPHEN SONDHEIM

I would have chosen either Do You Hear the People Sing (from Act 1) or One Day More from Les Miserable but still not a bad choice. I'm also glad that A Step Too Far from Aida got an honorable mention. I was fortunate enough to see the show back in April 2001 and got to watch Heather Headley, Adam Pascal, and Taylor Dayne (Sherie Rene Scott's replacement) perform that song.

Definitely the Fates in Hadestown! Just saw it last week and their “who are you” in Wait for Me most certainly gave me chills!

For me it’s “The Old Red Hills of Home” from Parade. When the company comes in at the ends the chills go from top to bottom it’s beautiful.

Come From Away! For harmony, Prayer is amazing. And pretty much anything from Les Mis…

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story from Hamilton Time echoes throughout the ensemble... Eliza misses Alexander after being apart from him by 50 years and when her time is up, he's right there waiting for her and they're together at last

Right This Way.... oh yes! I love every bit of that musical. As far as a harmony I really love, Now from Dr. Zhivago is ::chef's kiss:: !

you’ll be in my heart is really beautiful song there’s Emotional moment in the musical

It's "Drink with me", from Les Mis for me.. enough said

In Lily’s Eyes from Secret Garden gets me every time!

You needed some Next To Normal on that list!

Once and For All will always give me a goosebump should be in top 10 but im glad it gets an honorable mention

The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine in from Hair always brings tears to my eyes.

the I love you song from spelling bee for sure

The I Love You Song from Spelling Bee. Shivers.

Really good list - no complaints, and I am off to listen to a few OBCs. Also, check out 'Lucky' from Floyd Collins - a lesser known gem.
