      I haven’t seen The whole list yet, but I’m sure there are numbers from many flop Broadway musicals that could easily make this list: the opening number from the 59 musical Juno (based on an Irish play Juno and the Paycock), yellow Drum and others from The Grass Harp, I Never Has Seen Snow, Gonna Leave Off Wearin my Shoes, or A Sleepin Bee, all from House of Flowers. Maman from Matta Hari. And even once your musical is picked, I would have chosen Mama Look Sharp over Sit Down, John. I should make my own list including flops. And Eve Was Weak from the Broadway flop Carrie (4 performances) is a must. So is I Want More from the Lestat musical. Let me know what you guys think of all these songs as all should be on youtube!

    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.

    • @Rtotalmagic
      @Rtotalmagic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As far as I can tell, Mamma Mia is the only jukebox musical on this list, which is interesting given the size of the subgenre. There have been plenty of hit Bio-musicals (Beautiful, Jersey Boys, MJ) and several which used pre-existing pop hits to tell an original story (Rock of Ages, Moulin Rouge, & Juliet) and you could form a new Top 100 from these...

    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 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!!!

    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.

      The top 100 of all time, but nothing by Harold Arlen ("Come Rain or Come Shine," "A Sleepin' Bee," "Over the Rainbow," etc), Burton Lane ("Old Devil Moon," "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," etc), or Kurt Weill ("Mack the Knife," "Speak Low," "Saga of Jenny," etc). Only one song by Jerome Kern, Rodgers & Hart, Irving Berlin or Cole Porter, but two by Elton John and William Finn and four by Alan Menken. How about "I"ll Never Fall In Love Again' from PROMISES, PROMISES, or "Lazy Afternoon" from THE GOLDEN APPLE, or 'Here's That Rainy Day' from the admittedly obscure CARNIVAL IN FLANDERS, or "Stranger in Paradise" from KISMET.

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
