Whats Up, Duloc is definitely a song that goes over the top in a GOOD way. From the way the original song Welcome to Duloc transitions into the new song, Christopher Siebers singing starting out soft until near the end of the song when it gets higher with the set of Duloc expanding to symbolize his kingdom also getting higher, the score similarly starting small, then going into a big jazz score during the dance break and turning into an extravagant show number during the finale, the chorus of the ensemble, the choreography, the costumes accurately imitating the look of the Duloc marionettes and Lord Farquaads costume from the film while giving them that show style glamor and the overall presentation being a spoof on over the top musical numbers in Broadway musicals, its definitely a highlight from Shrek the Musical.

Notes/Prima Dona from The Phantom of the Opera! Erik (Phantom) has sent notes to several characters, making His presence and various demands to be known. As well as a couple vague threats if these arent followed to the letter. The recipients of the notes are all on stage and the mixture of their voices makes a great scene! Flowing into Prima Dona in which the managers reassure the wounded Carlotta that she is their star and no matter what The Ghost demands, she always will be. It ends with nearly everyone singing a glorious Once more final note immediately after Erik reiterates His threats!

Idk if this is unpopular opinion but Moulin Rouge the film was beautiful and the music was amazing, I recently saw the musical in person at the Pantages and honestly I was disappointed. The music was a lot of mash ups of other songs like a lot of them that I couldn't keep track of all the mash ups, the actress playing Satine was just not on par with Kidman and they changed her entire personality in it. The other thing that ruined the experience was some women kept singing to every single mash up acting like it was a concert ushers had to tell them to calm down more than once.

Omitted?
1. The waiters at the Harmonia Gardens incredible complicated and brilliant dance routine in HELLO DOLLY.
2. One Day More in LES MISERABLES.
3. Based entirely on the movie; Cool in WEST SIDE STORY.
That group song and dance number is just the best. Fueled with high energy, and the characters grieving, its something that cant be equaled.

I wanted Defying Gravity to be #1! It was the first in a long line of Act One finales that made me want to stay for the second act. You Cant Stop The Beat I prefer in the stage version when all the characters (including Prudy and the Von Tusseles) are dancing! West Side Story and Chicago Im fine sticking to the movie versions

Aladdin I would also like to see. .

One Day More from Les Miserables with all the different characters singing of the future at the end of act one comes to mind.
Masqurade from Phantom of the Opera is a amazing party leading into the Phantom's absolutely creepy appearance as Red Death.
You may need to do a second video.

I think this is one of the best and most fair I've seen in quite a while. The only song I would want to add either low/mid way on the list or in honourable mentions is Raise You Up/ Just Be from Kinky Boots. Was lucky to be an Angel in that show last year, and audiences went crazy for it

The sheer quality and quantity of the masks and puppetry pressent in the stage version of Circle of Life is extraordinary. I can't imagine the amount of effort or number of rehearsals it must take to pull off correctly. It deserves the win easily.

You should consider musicals from other countrys not just American. For example Germany has many awesome musicals. Tanz der Vampire; Elisabeth Starlight Express and more. Its really narrow minded to only ever consider america. The World is very big.

So, we're not gonna talk about 'Go, Go, Joseph', 'Masquerade', 'Brotherhood of Man' or 'NYC' from Phantom, H2$, Annie, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat? I'd add all four of these on there, personally.

Satisfied truly is over the top like who would think, oh maybe we should have everyone move backwards and do the last few scenes except singing a different song, Angelica would side bar the audience and share her pov

I still randomly break into the Elephant Love Medley (movie version. Probably know the lyrics to that better than I know the lyrics to any one of the songs. Lol
This list really should have been a top 20 though. Lol.

I agree with your number one pic. Because I can't get past that song without crying. But sit down, you're rocking the boat, And another automobile mention should have been on list. And you forgot color purple.

Just adding to the vast chorus here who seem to have jumped on to say the same thing I am here to say: ONE DAY MORE - I am in shock that Ms. Mojo missed literally the mostest of the most and didnt even mention it.

Love all of these choices. I probably would have added the finale of 42nd Street. Especially the revival from the 2000 that brought that massive staircase into play at the end.

When I saw Lion King almost a decade ago at the Paramount in Seattle, I got goosebumps once the song started, and it didn't stop for the entire show. It was amazing.

The first one that came to my mind was Consider Yourself from Oliver! -- one of the ones that makes me think Run! There's a production number coming this way!

The puppetry is stunning and creative. The idea of the 'animals' reaching 'pride rock' from the aisles (via audiance) is pure genious!

How did cats get missed on this list? The whole musical is over the top. Between the costumes, the music, the dance numbers. Its a spectacle to be sure.

One Day More from Les Miserable deserved to be one this list.
The American Dream from Miss Saigon shouldve at least gotten an honorable mention.

I was gonna say, if the top wasnt lion king I would have been surprised. Anything Disney would be good. I also loved Moulin Rouge and Chicago.

I am surprised that All That Jazz was picked over I Reached For the Gun in Chicago. Renee Zellweiger and Richard Gere are amazing in that number!

I like a lot of your lists. This is the Worst ever. It doesn't really follow what you originally, I thought, set out to do. Just Horrible.
