How about "America" from West Side story?? I feel like that at least deserved an honorable mention!!!!

@cherrypie37 5 лет назад

America is a better son and performance, but for dance the Dance hall scene is iconic.

@alissahouse2793 5 лет назад

America is the most iconic West side story song and dance.

@parkerpennington 5 лет назад

I just saw West Side Story on the stage last night. It was my 6th time seeing it. This is a tough call. Both scenes are iconic for different reasons. In the Dance Hall scene there is that dance-off between the Jets and the Sharks, and Tony meets Maria in a dream-like sequence that has been often paid homage to in many films. Who doesn't remember watching that for the first time? But America captures the heart of the conflict within the Puerto-Rican community - a love-hate relationship with their adopted home - in the most captivating and exciting dance reparte' ever! So they both deserve to be on this list. I am guessing the lists author only wanted one dance number per musical, so she chose accordingly. Bottom line for me is I'd have picked America, more for the lyrics than even the dancing. It is incredibly well written and requires comedic timing to deliver the punch lines accented with the shake of a hip or roll of the head.

The Mein Herr number was created for the FILM of Cabaret. The song wasn't even in the original Broadway production. Yes, it's now often interpolated into new stage productions, but, either way, it's not an iconic Broadway dance number, it's an iconic film dance number.

He did that iconic dance in the movie. I doubt the stage show dance was anywhere near as good as what he did which might be why it wasn't on the list. I have not seen the stage adaptation of 'Singing in the Rain' so cannot comment on the difficulty of the dance number in the stage show but I assume the stage show dance sequence was no where near as iconic as the one in the movie which is probably why it wasn't listed.

You can’t stop the beat should’ve been number 2 at least, it’s one of the most memorable dances in broadway history I think because of its power and signification (the relationship between white and blacks) and One was definitely a good choice for first place, however “god I hope I get it” from the same show should’ve been an honourable mention.

“Mein Heir” is a much better example of Fosse’s work, IMO, than “Hey Big Spender.” Also, I think the “Manson Trio” dance from the “Glory” song in “Pippin” should have been on here. If “One” wasn’t at the top of this list, my pick from “A Chorus Line” would have been “Music and the Mirror.” That entire performance is so underrated. But there’s a reason why Baryshnikov in “Baryshnikov on Broadway” chose “One” from “A Chorus Line” as his dream dance number and Liza Minnelli said “Sorry, you’re on your own for that one, buddy.”

@ReneeCamus 5 лет назад

@@chiara1194 The thing about Bob Fosse in general and A Chorus Line and West Side Story in particular is that almost everything about them is iconic. Fosse had such a distinctive style that everything he did was iconic. Similarly with the different numbers in Chorus Line and WSS, they're all iconic, in different ways. So it's really hard to choose one over the others. :)

@@janaeg2698 It was, but it's hard to do intricate choreography when the cast is dressed like silverware. It was more spectacle than good dancing

@michaelakel 5 лет назад

Don't agree with your list. Cell Block should be in there over All That Jazz, (Or Both) Mein Herr is best number in Cabaret, And where is Singing In The Rain? Or Make 'Em Laugh? And since your list is called "Iconic" - (Highly Original, Influential or Unique) You have to include the ballet sequence from Oklahoma - it was very influential! Not sure Newsies or Hairspray can be described as Iconic. I say either change the name of your list or make it top 20!

@hexum7 5 лет назад

Whereas, One. From A Chorus Line is somewhat iconic, but nothing special, dance-wise, in fact, it's very intention was to be generic

@graceriley2500 5 лет назад

I feel like Tango Maureen deserved an honourable mention at least, and I also feel that King of New York is much more iconic, but a good list!

@RichardMcWolff 4 года назад

Saw Chorus Line live with my Dad and his partner back in the 90's in San Jose. Got their album, yea, VINYL, from a next door neighbor as a gift after that and STILL have it but no record player. This ending number still sends shivers up my spine with just how magnificent it was to see live!

After seeing those dances from FosseVerdon, I have MAD respect for those dance sequences from their respected productions!! Also makes me really appreciate Cabaret more!! (not my fave movie but man those musical/dance moments, SO GOOD!) :D

Haley Radiant the movie is a drama which is not usual for a musical but seeing it on Broadway is a whole different experience like Chicago. The movie did not close to the Broadway show which was superb

@batgurrl 5 лет назад

Haley Radiant I haven’t seen it yet but you make it sound great and the promos look good. I will have to spend some time with my FX app lol

@isiabellaforks7399 5 лет назад

I’m so happy that 42nd Street was included, a lot of people forget about it but it’s such a demanding musical, with so much dancing and singing. I did it 5 years ago and the opening number was a killer, but definitely got your adrenaline pumping. I am loving all of your broadway content at the moment and look forward to more videos

@entangledsawyer 5 лет назад

I love that 42nd Street is on the list, but I wish it was higher up and that instead of One (reprise), it’s I hope I get It because that is the most iconic moment to me

@bryanabriz508 5 лет назад

No way! I respectfully disagree lol. The reprise always makes me emotional haha.

@steverileypictures5724 3 года назад

Yes I agree on #1! The definition of iconic.I was a replacement in the Broadway cast of A Chorus Line in 1978.I was honored at 65yrs. old to be invited to do the finale ONE with the younger cast at A Tribute For Marvin Hamlisch at opening night of the show at The Papermill Playhouse 2014.

How could they not mention the iconic dance number from 7 brides for 7 brothers or the ballet sequence from Singin In The Rain? Or what about some of those dances from Showboat. Very disappointing list.

@rivkateller1 5 лет назад

I'm glad you mentioned Gene Kelly but what about Agnes de Mille? SHE was the first to use dance to advance the plot in stage musicals. The choreography in Oklahoma revolutionized dance in Musical Theater. Some of her work was not recreated in movie versions, but since this is about Broadway Dance Numbers - a dance piece from Oklahoma by Agnes de Mille should be in the top 5!!!

@tahliaevans5444 5 лет назад

The video should be called "Most impressive broadway choreography", not exactly "most iconic" (for some of the shows on the list). The most iconic on the list are in the honourable mentions

@monitawit8173 5 лет назад

I read that Patrick Swayze danced as Danny Zuko in Broadway version of Grease. I wish I saw that. Given the fact that Swayze could actually dance (unlike Travolta) it must have been something amazing.

Kristin Schermann They should have included the anniversary performance that included all the past players lined up behind the current players of the part they danced. I remember reading they had to reinforce the stage floor because of the weight of all the dancers.

I was in Fiddler on the roof for a show and I had to do the bottle dance, the hora (lifting people on chairs and dancing around them), and the Russian dance. It was really hard and on the 4th night I sprained my ankle. Look up the dances and you will see how difficult they are.
