I have seen just about every one of these men live. (Which is pretty amazing) Brian Stokes Mitchell and Mandy Patinkin are probably the most iconic. (Mitchell's "Make Them Hear You" is still my single favorite moment in a theatre ever, but when it comes to vocals. I have to give the biggest prize to Jeremy Jordan. It is INSANE what he can do. He literally takes my breath away. And, yes, that includes Groban who is the GOAT, but there's just something about Jeremy that I feel like people are sleeping on. With that voice, he should be one of the biggest stars in the world.
Just wait until "The Great Gatsby" opens on Broadway. I've seen it and you guys aren't going to know what hit you!

"Why God Why", from "Miss Saigon". With the right voice, that song is heartbreaking. I've really concluded your stuff just doesn't like that show or something, since it never features on your lists despite being full of really powerful, amazing songs. Also seconding the person who mentioned "This Is the Moment", from "Jekyll & Hyde". That song is gorgeous, and I've gathered that prolonged high note at the end is a beast to hit well.

Tom Collins I'll cover you reprised from Rent should have been on here. What a performance it always breaks me no matter who does it! Also Bring Him Home should have been number 1. I mean the vocal prowess it takes to master that song is significant! Such a breathtaking number. Also Maybe Tonight ( Tony ) West side Story.

Phantom should be no1.
Lots of stage actors said its ultimate dream to be part of PotO production, and its a crowning point of stage career.
Fun fact: Music of the Night is such a top spot for male musical singers. same as Queen of the Night aria for female opera divas

I was sitting here thinking how much I appreciate that you always identify the performers, even if it's just a recording without visuals - and then the guy from the BBC Proms singing Maria showed up with no identification! Who is that - because his ending was phenomenal!

Jeremy Jordan's rendition of Santa Fe never fails to give me the chills, and is the perfect Act One closer. While Christian Bale is a talented actor, I always wondered why they didn't alter the song to suit his vocals more in the original film.

All I'm going to say about this list is that if you spoke to ANY guys who have auditioned for any production in the last ten years, I promise you Santa Fe and Empty Chairs at Empty Tables are the most popular ballads to audition with.

"Let Them Hear You" from Ragtime makes me want to go out and cause some "good trouble".
I think any one with a powerful, emotive voice can sing it but Brian Mitchell Stokes does an outstanding job.

"If I Can't Lover Her" from Beauty and the Beast and "Endless Night" from The Lion King are some of my faves. The original Jason Raize version is beautiful.

If I Can’t Love Her from Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites. The amount of vocal range required for it as well as the lyrics are both amazing.

I heard Nathan Gunn in the role of Anthony Hope at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. I love "In My Own Lifetime" (The Rothschilds - originally sung by Hal Linden)

Maria is definitely iconic - captures both a hopeful and haunting feel. I would have also added "I Miss the Music" from Curtains to this list.

Jeremy Jordan is an phenomenal as a singer. He did an amazing job singing most of these Disney songs and voicing Varian in Tangled: The Series.

I thought this would be super specific until I saw that the words had a space in between them. Musicals featuring weddings do get pretty interesting.

Missed the boat completely by leaving out Love Changes Everything, This Is The Moment, Some Enchanted Evening and I Am What I Am.

I love the musicals but Maria from West Side Story is like nails on a chalkboard to me, I just find it too repetitive and whiny.

"If I Can't Love Her" from "Beauty and the Beast", and "Welcome to the World" from "A Man of No Importance" could have made this list.
