The fact Idina Menzel is part of the original cast of the songs presented in the Top 2 and 3, show us how wickedly talented she is.

As a Broadway fanatic, you can belt that I've unapologetically sung many of these songs at the top of my lungs, especially in the shower! 🚿😉🎶

I have a feeling defying gravity is going to be really high on this list 💚💗

I know that only 100 musicals could be included and this is honestly a great list but the lack of Bonnie and Clyde, Heathers and Six hurt my soul

My favorite Broadway songs are Phantom of the Opera, Music of the Night, Defying Gravity, No Good Deed, Monster (Frozen), Dead Mom, Say My Name, The whole being dead thing, Satisfied, Wait for It, The Schuyler Sisters, and It's Quiet Uptown

Good lord. My mom and dad were theater people in highschool and college, and I am amazed at how many songs on this list were lullabies sung to my brother and I. God bless the theatre

Defying Gravity, She Used To Be Mine, Confrontation, And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going, Beauty and the Beast, Circle of Life, Pulled, With You, Satisfied, Carrie, Memory, Seasons of Love, Rise Above, and If Only You Would Listen

Imelda Staunton is one of the Greatest actresses ever, the proof is she can play characters that we can either Love or Hate 🙌🏼

There was a lot of Julie Andrews in this video. Truly, a queen

"Anything you can do I can do Better" and "There's no Business Like Show Business" -----Annie get your gun "Seasons of Love"-----Rent "Close Every Door"-------Joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat. "Deliver Us" and "When you Believe"-------Prince of Egypt All of the songs in Phantom of the opera "Suddenly Seymore"-------Little shop of horrors "Try the Priest"-------Sweeney Todd "Tomorrow"--------Annie "The Circle of Life" and "king of Pride Rock"------The Lion King "Beauty and the Beast"---------Beauty and the Beast "If I Were a Rich Man" and "miracle of miracles" --------Fiddler on the Roof "Once Upon a December"------Anastasia "Don't cry for me Argentina"-----Evita Etc etc etc

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

Lots of Sondheim on here. And rightfully so. The man is a Legend.

I sang along to nearly every song on this list and watched the entire thing! But, I'm so surprised "I'm Here" from The Color Purple is at 53! This song gives me goosebumps, especially with Cynthia Erivo's vocals. Also I would've picked "Falling Slowly" from Once.

I think one song that is missing from this list and I was kinda disappointed to not see it is As If We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Boulevard... that is an amazing song and an amazing role for the person who plays Norma, it's also become a standard of musical theatre songs

I went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing. The singing, the way the candles just appeared out of the smoke and also the smoke looked like water

Number 15: can you bake a pie? No… Neither can I! 😂😂😂😂

I've missed "A Gentlemen's Guide To Love And Murder" in this list. I believe "I've Decided To Marry You" to top some of this songs. Otherwise, Anything Goes is definitely in my Top 10. But your no.1 pick is right on point.

Songs/Shows I would have liked to see on this list: A Musical - Something Rotten Close Every Door/Any Dream Will Do - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground - Finding Neverland Journey to the Past - Anastasia Who I'd Be - Shrek the Musical In My Own Little Corner/Impossible - R&H Cinderella Michael in the Bathroom - Be More Chill (not a big fan of the show, but that song is spectacular) A Beautiful City - Godspell Come to Your Senses - Tick, Tick, Boom

I wish there had been a song from seven brides for seven brothers. I loved the list, so many great songs.

So many great songs across Broadway history. One of my favourites definitely has to be The Impossible Dream. I've grown sentimentally attached to it

Alright, well let’s see the Spotify playlist of this now!! 😊

I was in a musical play of Peter Pan as Tiger Lily at my old school in Village Glenn. For another musical I did there, I was on TV. No kidding, I was on TV while singing

Honestly, Memory from Cats is a masterpiece.

Broadway. Is just a true gift ❤

Some that you missed: "Go Home with Bonnie Jean" from Brigadoon. "We Need a Little Christmas" from Mame. "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. "Impossible" from Cinderella. "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. "The Telephone Hour" from Bye Bye Birdie. "Another Op'nin Another Show" from Kiss Me Kate. And I don't think I'd have included "Mamma Mia" in this list, it's a great song, but it wasn't written for the show. If you include that, then you have to open your list to all the jukebox musicals, and I think this should be kept to those songs written for the stage.

A few worth mentioning that I do not think made the list: - Day By Day from Godspell - Great Big Stuff from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Go, Go, Go Joseph from Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - These Streets from A Bronx Tale - Come What May from Moulin Rouge - Let It Go from Frozen - Michael Jordan’s Ball from The Full Monty - Pinball Wizard from Tommy - Happiness from You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown

A lot of this is good. But... no love for Anastasia? It's one of the most haunting series of songs I've ever heard and Once Upon A December would very easily have fit in here.

I would have liked to see Nine, Mame, Bye Bye Birdie, Wildcat, and Brigadoon added to this list.

Wow.. It's no brainer, Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Rent and Les Miserables were in Top 5!!🏆🏆🏆😍

I am glad les mis made the top but I feel like Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella, footloose, susical, six, greatest show man and Godspell should have been on the list And now you guys know my favorite musicals

How could you pick "You got to pocket or two" over "Consider yourself at home" or "As long as he needs me" from Oliver.

Ya missed Lilys Eyes from The Secret Garden. That song is so freaking beautiful.

Glad to see the great Julie Andrews singing I Could Have Danced All Night and Send in the Clowns. She is a really a Broadway luminous icon.

I'm a super huge musical fan. Never heard of most of these plays, let alone the songs!

You're on the mark with most, and I could quibble with many, but you were really off the mark with 1776. "Sit Down John" is fun and sets the tone for much of the show, but "Is Anybody There" is by far the best song in the show. In Adam's darkest moment, he sings his vision for America. "I see fireworks!" Is inspiring.

I actually remember hearing Anything You Can Do since I joined RU-vid. There was a video of human Rainbow Dash and FlutterShy and I loved it! Even on Darcy Lynne’s performance with the famous idol

I loved listening to all of these - old and new - Broadway hits! I was wondering when you'd mentioned Les Miserables (there are so many) so glad to see they were saved for last! Tough to choose because we have so many beautiful, singable, memorable Broadway songs!

“And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” is #7? The hell? That song & performance by Jennifer Holliday is #1 and nothing less. Periodt! 😒

1. FEELING GOOD, from The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd. It has become almost ubiquitous, covered by countless artists, most notably Michael Bublé, and even in commercials. Major oversight. 2. Maybe This Time was not used in the original Broadway production; it was only used in the movie. The song "Cabaret" I believe would have been the better choice. 3. Other choices are headscratchers in that you chose a rather obscure song (What Do the Simple Folk Do from Camelot rather than the standard If Ever I Would Leave You; Vanilla Ice Cream from She Loves Me rather than the better-known Will He Like Me, or the title song). 4. Also surprising that you chose the mostly unknown All the Wasted Time from PARADE over the rousing, anthemic opening AND closing ensemble number The Old Red Hills of Home. 5. From Oliver! You Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two is your selection as the best that score has to offer?? The spectacular Who Will Buy, the standard As Long as He Needs Me, CONSIDER YOURSELF?? IMO these are truly gross oversights/omissions.

This was delightful & couldn’t agree more with your picks. #1 has had my heart for a long long time.

I've been a fan of your videos for several years now. I'm so excited to see this hour long special 😍

Circle of Life opened and closed “The Lion King” the same way as it brought the story full circle!

Why am I crying!? Thank you mojo, GREAT top 100 ❤

Roses turn is without a doubt one of the best broadway songs ever made it’s so heartbreaking and yet there’s this victorious undertone with it

The list only includes one song per musical. I'd like to see a top 100 list of songs from musicals regardless of how many are from any one musical. In such a list, I"d think Le Mis would have quite a few!

My dad’s favorite is If I Were A Rich Man from Fiddler On The Roof and When There’s No One from Carrie the Musical

Oklahoma! Was the very first Musical I saw as a kid. Yes, it was on VHS, but it was so awesome! I love it still.

While I may not agree with your rankings, you have chosen some top picks.That said, I kept waiting for, "And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going" from Dreamgirls, which is a song that's too great to have been overlooked!

This is my favorite list you've ever done. It's the middle of the night and all i want to do is see every one of these shows right now. Good job!

The fact that Shrek was not on here shocked me. I mean who I'll be is amazing

I appreciate that little shout out to “As Long As You’re Mine”, I love it but it seems like one of the most underrated Wicked songs.

Since I’m on the topic of this list, I did see The Color Purple. Only the 2023 movie and that song I’m Here is so powerful. I absolutely love it!

I love that Come From Away made this list (I'm an expat Newfoundlander and so incredibly proud of how well the show has done and the way it brought that story and Newfoundland to the world)! The second time I saw it in Toronto I was front row and singing along to Me and the Sky and the actress noticed, so she used it and kept looking at me as she performed. What an experience! ❣

Some songs bring tears to my eyes. happy tears, sad tears.... but old man river... every. single. time. only have to think about it.

Ever since Oct.7 2022, I still watch this

Memory always gets me. I mean all these songs do in their own way but Memory cuts so very, very deep.

I will watch this ALL THE WAY

I find myself adding multiple versions of some of these to my playlist. How to choose between Bernadette Peters and Ethel Merman for example.

I’m sorry, Ms Mojo, but I don’t think I’m speaking to you until you acknowledge “Model Behavior” from Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, “Omar Sharif” from The Band’s Visit, and anything from Evening Primrose.

“DUST AND ASHES” FROM NATASHA PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 DESERVED TO BE ON THIS LIST

Imelda Staunton, Barbra Streisand, Bernadette Peters, Idina Menzel, & Kristen Chenoweth -broadway icons and in movies Patti LuPone -only one in a cartoon show, Steven Universe

all the things you are from about 1939 very warm for spring. this this is a great musical theatre song.

One of my favorite Broadway song's is Say my Name from Beetlejuice.

This list most definitely needs a sequel or two or three or 200.

Do you know Sunrise, Sunset is a parody in The Lion King 1 1/2?

I truly wish your programs had been available while I was teaching MUSIC APPRECIATION, to high schoolers!!! These would have been fantastic...Thank God for movie musicals...through them I was able to introduce them...to the broader world of music it offers. I am also glad we had concert versions of musicals, too!! Sometimes during Les Miserables there were tears. At the end of the school year, these tears told me how far they had come in their knowledge of music....CLASSICAL thru POPULAR!!! Theere is one thing your list of 100 proves....We need list #2 & #3....There are so many fantastic songs & so many fantastic mudicals!!!

I don't know how you make this list...you'll never get it right. However, I loved every minute of the journey.

No one is Alone is beautiful song and that is a winner and thank u Kim Crosby

I can't believe you ranked anything from Hamilton in the top 10

Did I miss it or was there no Six: The Musical song? Or Anastasia ? OR HEATHERS??

Aida-Written in the Stars and the Gods Love Nubia, Rent- without you, seasons of love, Wicked- For Good and Defying Gravity

Defying Gravity at number three? I can live with that and you just made my day

I sincerely cannot believe more Book of Mormon songs aren't on this list. 'Hello' was maybe the 4th best song of the show. If anything, 'I Believe, 'Sal Tlay Ka Siti', or 'All American Prophet' should have taken its place.

Wait for Me is criminally low

Just rewatched it. I think it's fitting that I saw the shows with the top 5 this year. (les Miserables last January, Wicked twice in April, rent in August, Phantom and Hamilton in November in London).

Since I just The Wiz, Ease On Down The Road isn’t in my head but You Can’t Win is!

Endless Night by Jason Raize is absolutely sad and beautiful. Plus there is a story there.

I’ve always thought it was Bewitched, Bothered, and Be-Mildred. But I was corrupted by Walt Kelly at a young age.

I WAS IN 9Th GRADE DURING MY HIGHSCHOOL I LOVED THAT WHOLE MUSICAL AND IT WAS AMAZING BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY

You forgot Bye Bye Birdie! “Put on a Happy Face” or “Kids” should have made the list. Those are iconic songs that almost everyone knows.

Musicals I started to be interested in them at the age of 8 and nothing has changed.

I could squabble about song placement for Carousel and Waitress and Man of LaMancha and Funny Girl and Chicago's low placement is, well, criminal. But your song choice and placement of Cabaret? Heinous! But I love the list anyway. It makes me happy....most of the time!

“I LOVE Defying Gravity!!”

Wish there had been songs from Godspell, Purlie, and Shennadoah. Three great shows of the 70s!

Personally, I love "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen, and "Bui Doi" from Miss Saigon. Both are emotional and extremely powerful.

The greatest showman? 7 brides for 7 brothers? Some are missing but I don't know what I would leave off the list

Perhaps... Flower Drum Song? Cinderella? Children of Eden? If/Then? I think a case could be made for some of these as much as others, but I can also see why they might be left off. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was gonna be so upset if Rent wasnt on this list. Glad its number 2 Rent is my favorite musical. Granted ive only seen the movie and clips of the orginal show but i love Anthony Rapps voice

There are so many wonderful songs from Carnival such as Love Makes the World Go Round, Mira, Always Always You.

Can’t believe Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Raincoat isn’t on the list.

@43:27 - Circle of Life. I had the opportunity to attend the Tony Awards that year. During a commercial break, "Rafiki" was escorted onstage and the audience started cheering. Then we came back from the break and the audience cheered for the entire number. It was fabulous!

I knew One Day More would be number one. It was my first musical I’d ever been too. I was 16 so it was over 30 years ago. ❤

i love this broadway songs

It’s time for a sing-a-long!🎶🎤

Sunday is the most beautiful song ever written for the theatre. May not be the best overall, but it works so well, as seen from the original production and the tribute performed in Times Square a few days after Sondheim passed.

My pick for Number one would have been Phantom of the opera or Point of No return. They are both very good songs and the notes on both ends are very good and complimentary to the other part. But a musical you missed was Love Never Dies and unpopular opinion but I love Love Never Dies two of my favorite songs from it are Devil take the Hindmost and the Finale. Ramin and Sierra are the best Phantom and Christine. My second pick would have been Bring Him Home from Les Miserables

Um…. Close Every Door. (Joseph). Keys(Passing Strange). Worlds Apart (Big River). Fun list though

Proud to say seasons of love was my 5th grade graduation song and I was one of the solos!😛
