For this list, all contenders have to have been created for the stage production of any musical, and have to have been made famous through that stage production initially.

I think it's about time to do "Another Top 10 Songs from Theatre Musicals"
Exactly I was sad that Hamilton and heathers wasn't on here lol
It needs Heathers omg
👍 true
+
IKR
This literally caused a riot in my theater dorm
I couldn’t like this hard enough
In case you're wondering it's cause we were half and half over whether or not the music of the night topped I dreamed a dream
We all agreed on cats as long as it was memory
Did I just hear “I dreamed a dream” and “optimism” in the same sentence???!
It is optimistic in a way.....it's just past tense.
unfortunately, yes.
Keeps talking about how inspirational and optimistic "I Dreamed A Dream" is. Girl, the last line is "Now, life has killed the dream I dream." Did you guys at Mojo even listen to these lyrics or learn the context??
It should have been The Phantom of the Opera's self title song! I love that song, it's like rock opera stuff.
If you want more rock opera, watch "the Beauty Underneath" more phantom 😀
If you want more rock opera, watch "the Beauty Underneath" more phantom 😀
+SockBadger 24601 They should have done the 25th Anniversary of Phantom instead huh?
(Looks around)
-an obsessive fan
+AlejandroInTheTux I can't agree with this. Not because i think that phantom's title song fails to bring the house down, it does that and then some, but rather because I can't say which is better: Phantom of the Opera, or Music of the Night. Both are iconic and deserve this list.
I love every song from Phantom of the Opera
Stacy Miley Me too
Me too all the songs are so beautiful 😍
I understand why Memory got #1, even if Cats isn’t the best musical, Memory pretty much is one of the most iconic Broadway songs of all time, probably right up there with One Day More, On My Own, Music Of The Night, Seasons Of Love, etc.
Am I the only one that thinks Climb Every Mountain should be the song from sound of music? It gives me chills every time I hear it.
Same
Or heck even “My Favorite Things.”
It's a phenomenal song but it's less recognisable as the others
For me it's Edelweiss. It's the only non-musical song in the whole show.
@@justinm2697 what do you mean non musical song?
10. Defying gravity
9. Do Re Mi
8. If I were a rich man
7. Seasons of love
6. Aquarius
5. Tomorrow
4. All that jazz
3. I dreamed a dream
2. The music of the night
1. Memory
Ginny Castello Why the hell is MEMORY #1? Cats is overrated I think that something from Spring Awakening should have been on here.
Grace the Actress what songs form spring,awakining are well known
Grace the Actress the only one,I can think of is, bitch of,living
The Music of The Night deserves to be number one!
well that song is amazing. Its a classic and has so much meaning. And don't say that it has no story. Its there
that's it, I wish the whole earth would be a musical
Totally!
SockBadger 24601 Yay!!
Let's do it!
+hunnykun101
Nothing to do at the moment,
Just posting some TH-cam comments,
My hopes of diet were just a dream,
So here i am eating ice-cream
While brooowsiiiiiiiing iiiiiinterneeeeeeet!!!!!!!!
+Bender B. Rodriguez what tune was that?
I'm pretty sure it's Elaine Paige who sang Memory not Ellen Page 😂 15:09
Maybe 'Ellen' Page sings it in the bath at home 😂
*Paige 😂
@@The-Musical-Lover Quite right Sir! 😂👍🏽
Betty Buckley made it famous too
I was so confused lol
What happened to "You'll never walk alone" from Carousal - There's no business likes show business - Annie get your gun - "I am telling you" from Dreamgirls, and "Ol Man River" from Showboat
Thanks for mentioning these songs. You are from my era!
I would've liked the Cell Block Tango to be Chicago's song.
YASSS
Oh my gosh yes
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Yeah but All That Jazz is not only better known, it also became the title of Bob Fosse's movie about himself.
+Mark Kittel All that Jazz is by far not the best song of the musical. Cell Block Tango and All I Care About Is Love are 1000 times better, When you're good to Mama, Both reached for the gun and Roxie are imo also better.
am I the only one waiting for The phantom of the Opera 😂😍😍
YES!
Samantha Kaefer Amo ese musical, sobre todo a Gerard Butler
I skipped like the whole video hoping it would be Think of Me, and not the movie. I like the stage version better
Sarah Jacobs The movie was decent, but you're right, the stage version is far better. I especially liked the 25th anniversary production, though I have watched others as well.
My dad saw Phantom in Toronto with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman
The Phantom Of The Opera is such a stunning musical and Music Of The Night is so enchanting. Everytime i watch the film or just listen to the song Gerard Butlers voice takes my sense and puts them into overload I can hardly breath when he sings this in his silk, warm and smooth voice i just fall in love everytime i hear it. I can't get enough of it 🥰
wtf are you on about?
I love Cats but Phantom is by far the superior musical. I would also like to argue half of these were made popular by the film versions so shouldn't be counted like they said at the start
I agree
Destiel27 I agree but also les mis is extremely iconic
Phantom of the opera is stolen from a Pink Floyd song called “echoes” there was a lawsuit and the producer of phantom of the opera had stolen other songs before
Maybe, but memory is an amazing song. This is a list of good songs, not good musicals.
It’s not about the superior musical... it’s about the superior song
Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera gave me chills...
Les Misérables will always be in my soul. I first saw it on Broadway - three times - then in Seattle, then in a small but excellent production in Coronado, CA. This year I'll get to see the touring production again in San Diego. Can't wait!
Jacquie Timms same! They r my favorite musicals.
me too. and i LOVED IT!
Jacquie Timms POTO is the best. It’s so beautiful and everybody sang beautiful
Jacquie Timms phantom gave me chills,les Misérables just brought me to tears
I've seen comments about people getting mad because Hamilton isnt here. HAMILTON WAS IN 2016 AND THIS VIDEO WAS MADE IN 2015. So please stop...
Lullaby_VA Hamilton was 2015 but I get your point
Ahem. It was made in 2015 ;)
FoxWolf 273 THAT MEANS ITS EVEN WORSE. GODDAMIT MOJO D; (im sorry for shouting XD)
people are just plain dumb
Where can I find Hamilton on Google? How should I search?
I get chills whenever I listen to phantom of the opera
I'm the same i just love The Phantom Of The Opera and Gerard Butler is my favourite Phantom he enchants me from start to finish 🥰💖
I feel like "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" was robbed of a place on this chart. It's probably one of the hardest songs to sing.
Should be called "Here's ten good musical theatre songs, not necessarily the best and in no particular order"
They're all great though
except for cats, les mis, and phantom of the opera. The first two are terrible, the third's just...meh.
Front Room Gamers AMEN. Mostly meh, a few good ones.
Funny, those are my three favourite musicals.
Front Room Gamers R
I love Heathers, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, bUT
it hurts me because those are the only musicals my generation is falling in love with and they don't bother hearing the classics that made broadway, broadway.
Adri Mulet I get what you're saying, I definitely see it. Those plays are really good, (Heathers has a special place in my heart), but the reason these are so popular now is because they are so new. The classics stay the classics, but the new musicals deserve some praise too. It's hard to be original in a world where everything's already been thought of.
Adri Mulet ikr
Ikr! It kinda makes me sad that not as many people like the new musicals I like as there are people that mostly like Deh, Heathers, Hamilton, and Bmc. I have literally no one to talk to about Bandstand. 😭
same here! i used to love and join these musical fandoms. but after discovering the past broadway musicals, I turned back and started to love the older musicals .
now my favorites are; Book of Mormon , Chicago, little shop of horrors, sister act, kinky boots, next to normal, gentleman's guide and great comet
Adri Mulet *cough* it's because that's what you hear :)
I dreamed a dream is not a hopeful song
yes, I was wondering where they were getting that from - where is the hope - it is about the hope she had but is about how it's dashed and now she's living in hell - life has killed the dream she dreamed - not hopeful at all
There’s a line or two that emphasize hope.
“But still I dream he’ll come to me
And we will live the years together”
She’s hopeful during those lines, but when all is said and done, it’s really a song about how cruel life can be to someone.
There are so many better songs in les Mis than I dreamed a dream, Ann hathaway or not
Surely the fact that it's in the minor key should be a that it's a depressing song.
CelesteWolf Animates she does follow the line with “but there are dreams that cannot be”, though
Is it just me or is “empty chairs at Empty tables” super underrated?
Zohar Sarig oh, yes! I love that song too! I love to sing it.
Totally Agree!
yes
YEEEESSS
YASSS
I like The Point of No Return from Phantom of the Opera
The broadway version of that song is incredible!!
That would've been my #1.
Yes, I love that one too, so desperate!
Yaaa fam
Sameee "it is a cold and dismal place"
I seen the Phantom on the cover, so now I'm here
Fluff Sight Literally why I came
Phantom of the Opera is my life. I see Gerard, I die. point of no return is my all time favorite scene and song ever
You ‘seen’ it?
Fluff Sight YASSS! No one can pass up Gerard Butler. And that is my musical, but yes the others are good alsi
Same
Ok everyone hating on cats, please stop. Memory is an incredibly beautiful song, maybe the musical is weird but the song is beautiful.
I was searching for a comment like yours. Finally someone who doesn't hate on the winner of this list... It's funny how basically everybody else clicks on a Top Ten video expecting his or her favorite song to be number 1. And then everybody gets butthurt and talks bad about "Memory" just because they wanted another song to be no.1... Why even watch the video if you can't respect other opinions, right? I doesn't help anyone to hate in the comment section...
Zane Atkins yeah I agree- phantom is my favourite musical but Memory is simply amazing. Cats is weird, but that song will always give me chills just as much as music of the night, especially if we’re talking about Gerard Butler... wow that was bad 😂
Jesus christ superstar over cats every day of the week
I grew up with Cats, it was one of my first musicals (together with My Fair Lady) and the first I saw in theatre because it was child friendly. It will always have a special place in my heart despite me not being a big Andrew Lloyd Webber fan (I like Sunset Boulevard and Evita from him, Phantom - there I prefer the Yeston/Kopit version)
Zane Atkins it’s a beautiful musical with great songs I’m glad someone else is defending it
it’s just pretty weird it’s about a cult
"And I Am Telling You..." from Dreamgirls
" It's just a jump 2 the left
And then a step 2 the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the Pelvic Thrust
That really drives U insane
Let's do the Time Warp...AGAIN....." =))
Well I was walkin' down the streetJusta havin' a thinkWhen a snake of a guyGave me an evil wink!Well it shook me upIt took me by surprise,He had a pickup truckand the devil's eyes!He looked at meAnd I felt a changeTime meant nothin'never would again!LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!
For some reason my comments lack the ability to retain their entered format. :/
I remember doing the time Warp.
Drinking of moments
And blacknes will hit me
And avoid to be Calling!
Let's do the time warp!
I love that song it is one of my favorites
Love that song! Sing it for school play
(Best drama teacher ever!)
I love the song You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray
YEEEEESS! I was in that production :)
AnimeGirl4891 Yeah and Good Morning Baltimore. Where were they at?!,! ! 🤔🤔
AnimeGirl4891 my favourite showwwww
AnimeGirl4891 that's what I was thinking when watching this
AnimeGirl4891 YEEEEESSSSS!!!!! I love that movie 😁😁😁
Watching and listening to Elaine Page sing "Memory" in London had me drenched in tears. The best! "Phantom'", all of the songs, had the same effect.
Where's Miss Saigon?? It's always underated 😭😭😭
Yeah😢
trusty beetle YES CLAUDE MICHEL SCHONBERG IS BY FAR THE BESTTTTT
Annie? ANNIE? Annie was higher up on the list than SOUND OF MUSIC and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF?!?! HOW I MEAN WHY I MEAN WHAT
Masquerade-The Phantom of the Opera
That song gets me every time...particularly the reprise.
don't forget "no on would listen"
Masquerade is so sickening that after you hear it, you can hear it play by your ear over and over and imaging yourself in that party..even when youre taking a bath..
Ouch. ;)
Did that scene get hit by the Cybermen when the movie was made? I mean, it is a deleted scene from the movie. ;)
2:44-2:47 I've watched Sound of Music over 50 times, and I just noticed Friedrich looking over the banister in the background...
I think musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber could have their own top 10s.
It does!
Bottom ten more like it!
The arrangements are appealing but did not originate from musical.
Some of my person favorites:
-Seize the Day
-Into the woods
-Phantom of the Opera main theme
-it's the hard knock life
Newsies!
Main theme of Phantom of the Opera is the best!
Yup deffo
YES!
The final lair from Phantom is my favorite. And there is NO WAY cats beats Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera.
Drew Shannon THANK YOU!
Do you even read the title? This " top 10 SONGS" not "top 10 musical theatres"
not Lizzy Grant That person may be referring to the songs chill.
Bad referring then :^)
not Lizzy Grant yeah
"What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line should have gotten an honorable mention at the very least.
Seasons of love is so fun to sing my whole theatre cast sang it so random once and it sounded like we legit practiced for hours it was great
I can't watch phantom without someone watching t with because I stop breathing when he sings......... I fell in love with the phantom in middle school
Margaret Lawrence I RELATE SO MUCH
SAME
The Phantom of the Opera was my first musical in 5th grade with colm Wilkinson. I love it my favorite.
Cried like a baby when I saw Anne Hathaway sing I dreamed a dream in Les Mis
Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome I hunk everybody did! It was so beautiful!
Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome
Same
Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome me too
She was good, but lacked the power. I think Lea Salonga was WAY better. But that's my personal bias.
I agree that it was good, but it sounded far too choked at several points. My personal favorite is Patti LuPone from the 1985 cast, but as the person before me said, it is just personal bias
DreamGirls....”And I am telling you, I’m not going.”
Jennifer Holiday (theatre), Jennifer Hudson (movie)... Excellent
I clicked on this bc the cover pic was phantom.
Learn to live with disappointment when watching a Mojo listing.
Ikr
Same.
Was that adele dazeem?
It sounds like her, so it's safe to say "Yes".
do you mean Idina Menzel?
Becky Timmis
I see that the sarcastic humor gene does not run within your gene pool...
+Trent csqw It does I was just joking. I did actually put the laughing emoji but for some reason it didn't show up. No need to be rude
Becky Timmis
Not being rude. Just kidding around, but like you said, it is hard to catch your "inflection" without an emoji on that line.
Phantom of the opera intro song is the best!!!
seriously. but any of those songs could be on this list. I always thought Point of no return was the best
+RandomVideoCircus Do you mean the overture?
My favorite was "Down once more" even though it is actually 20 minutes long b
My favorite was "Down once more" even though it is actually 20 minutes long b
+Skylar Lange my favorite was "Point of No Return"
Seasons of Love has the most amazing words and always gives me goosebumps! A magical song x
14:33
"we have had no rent in several days"
"and 80% of us have AIDS"
*omfg*
I feel Like Rachel Berry on GLEE sang most of these songs
sometimes I put glue on my face that's because she loved musicals and Broadway
Everything from phantom should be on this list
Christian Rivers yeah
Yes!!
Honestly though
Seriously. I love that show
Christian Rivers SO TRUE
99% comments: cat’s song “beating” phantom’s song
1% comments: this
Didn't like either musical so don't care either way. ;)
Defying Gravity below Do Re Mi?!?! Your kidding right
I cry every time I hear any song from Rent because I can't get over Angel
Llamatacos295 same!
One Day More was the best song out of Les Mis, in my opinion
Freya Stuart I'm in love with On My Own. But yeah. One More Day is fantastic
I agree! I think One Day More or Do You Hear the People Sing should have been the top pick from Les Mis, but I am absolutely in love with that entire soundtrack so there are really no poor choices.
I agree
See, I'd choose either Empty Chairs, or Javert's Suicide. Both such meaningful and moving songs.
Amy O'Shea Empty Chairs at Empty Tables is so beautiful. Brings me to tears every time. "My friends my friends don't ask me what you sacrifice was for. Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will sing no more". What a powerful lyric.
"Anyone Can Whistle" is an underrated song that's one of my favorites.
I am so happy that Cats is on this list! Still one of my favorite musicals. Haven't seen the new version, pretty sure I'll be disappointed but will still get around to it. Cats has so many great songs.
My personal favourites: (I'm only 15 so I haven't seen every musical)
10: Rain On My Parade (Funny Girl)
9: Maybe This Time (Cabaret)
8: You've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two (Oliver)
7: Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Evita)
6: Dead Girl Walking (Heathers)
5: Edelweiss (Sound Of Music)
4: What I Did for Love (A Chorus Line)
3: Sentimental Man (Wicked)
2: Sunrise Sunset (Fiddler On The Roof)
1: Stars (Les Miserables)
My other favourites: Good Morning Star Shine (Hair), Music and The Mirror (A Chorus Line), Empty Chairs (Les Miserables), Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Phantom of The Opera), Nothing (A Chorus Line), Naturally (Annie Get Your Gun) Come To Me (Les Miserables), The Rain In Spain (My Fair Lady) and My House (Matilda)
Sentimental man?
What can I say? I love that song. Different Strokes for different folks!
Dead girl walking is one of my favorites
what about anything from Stephen Sondheim? Into the Woods or Sweeney Todd or Company or a Little Night Music or something?
Kiley Warner agree
Into the woods= hello little girl,sweeny todd= Johanna company= company or lady's who lunch and a little night music= send,in the clowns
Really? Into the woods?. Don't get me wrong I love Steph but that? I agree on the Sweeney Todd tho.
sondheim songs are like the god of broadway
If I could like this comment 100 times I would. I agree. 100%
Les Mis and Phantom deserve the top spots. They’re classics. Cats is amazing but the stories in Les Mis and Phantom are so deep and powerful and reflect humanity in our worst and best
Phantom should have been first....all of the songs are so gorgeous ❤️
Elodie Bel Phantom of the opera is stolen from a Pink Floyd song called “echoes” however Pink Floyd chose not to sue.
@@danielhumphrey3836 sucks :3 still amazing songs
In both the Broadway version and the film version.
Meh
I think that Hard Knock Life should have been for Annie instead of Tomorrow because even though Tomorrow is the main, Hard Knock Life is far more iconic with most people knowing it who aren't even musical watchers, while Tomorrow is known, but not nearly as much.
I disagree. I don't want to start an argument, but Tomorrow is used way more often in other movies or comercials and has been for ages. it has way more exposure.
+bellygirl135 Oh it is certainly in more media, just myself has always thought of HNL when I though Annie after my school did the play. And in the Web series Mianite, HNL was mentioned a lot, and so in other things.
+NDAIA fair enough. when I think of Annie I think of either Tomorrow or I Think I'm gonna like it here
+NDAIA I'd have to disagree. While Hard knock life is iconic, I cannot say that it is more well known than Tomorrow. (Although Hard Knock Life is my preference.)
Are you kidding? Tomorrow is legendary!
This should just be called Top 10 most well-known musical theatre songs
Does anyone remember singing “do re mi” in elementary school?
Does anyone rennet elementary school?
Dont Cry For Me Argentina.
Jesus Christ Superstar.
YES! I also wondered why those two weren't on the list. Don't cry for me Argentina should have been top 3 but didn't even get an honorable mention.
Yeah, Yvonne elliman won a Grammy for I dont know how to love him in the movie adaptation of JC superstar
CrashPirate01 I’m not religious either and it’s one of my five favourite musicals
Who chose these? So much better stuff has been ignored!
Absolutely! Argentina should have been number one!
yesss, phantom got 2, like if ur happy bc PHANTOM PHOREVER
I'm so glad it got number 2, but Music of the night isn't the greatest song of the show, Phantom of the Opera is the greatest song in the production
I like 'all i ask of you' better...
Nataly Donder all i ask of you was nice but... everyone else ussualy ships christine and erik so... plus raoul is a FOP
PHANS UNITE
Yes, Phantom of the Opera is amazing. Especially those high notes by Emmy. And Wandering a child, and Wishing a you Were So ehow Here Again, Raoul I've Been There, All I Ask of You reprise, Past the Pont of No Return (especially those cape flips) and Final Lair.
ANY HEATHERS FANS HERE?
or hamilton fans
Just you wait...when people see Dear Evan Hansen...
CarlaDaFox Hamilton and heathers exist bruh
She needs a slurpee
Carly be more chill does not deserve to be mentioned in the presence of shows like Rent, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music, Les Miserables LMAO
heather fan right here
I’m a simple girl. I see Phantom of the Opera and I click.
Ok honestly, and I’m like one of the biggest Phantom/Les Mis, and would always support them
Over anything else, but honestly Memory deserves #1, it’s the most iconic “broadway musical” song
I don't understand why you used the movie version for so many of these songs when you explained in the beginning that the list was focused on songs originally made famous by their theatrical renditions. The theatrical renditions are more impressive in that they weren't cut and edited.
For many of these songs, original performance video doesn't exist, so they use one of the best-known renditions or a recent Tony/award/special filming. It doesn't detract from the amazingness of the songs, at least.
same
It does for the Mis!!! @@browncoatkevin
@@gautierelsa263 And for Phantom. The movie version was not nearly as emotional or impressive as live and I know there are videos of Michael Crawford singing they could have used.
@@gautierelsa263 Anne Hathaway's performance of "I Dreamed A Dream" blows away any theatrical production by a *long shot*.
Y'all gotta keep in mind that this is from the eyes of a casual musical fan. I would personally throw in stuff like "Confrontation" from Jekyll and Hyde, but it would get too obscure for most :P
God Of Potatoes I would have thrown in Bend and Snap
YES CONFRONTATION IS MY SHIT
I LIKE THE WAY YOU ALL THINK.
YAS
Jekyll and Hyde is for sure missing. So is Heathers.
What about on my own?😭😭😭
"Maybe This Time" from Cabaret
I think some of my favs are
1. Somewhere - west side story
2. Close every door - joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat
3. Morning glow - pippin
Kind of surprised wss didnt place
My favourite musical is Sweeney Todd and I'm super disappointed that no song from this musical made it into this video. Never mind ;)
BoxesOfFoxes You're not the only one who is disappointed. Seriously, all the songs in Sweeney Todd have deeper meanings, require understanding, and etc. That musical is literally a masterpiece!
ikr sondheim is truly a genius
Sondheim is a fantastic composer, and probably the best lyricist to ever work in the theater. The fact that he only got one honorable mention in this list for lyrics is a joke.
I wish someone would turn The Silence of the Lambs into a musical.
They have
..and it's filthy
@@karlapool1020 "If I Could Smell Her" may be one of the funniest songs ever created for a musical.
I'm predicting 'Trump - The Musical' one day.. lol
Music of the Night should have been first.
Amy Sparks I agree. Especially when Michael Crawford performs it.
@@darthkurland ew
It’s nothing compared to Memory
Meh
Yes. Especially the Ramin Karimloo version.
Cats over Phantom?! Go home watchmojo you're drunk.
+Alex Scott-Moncrieff Cats is garbage, honestly, I can't stand that musical and I don't understand why its so popular. Although, I will admit that Memory is probably the show's only saving grace, and its a really good song.
I love Cats but I agree, Phantom of the Opera is way better.
Phantom will rise someday
-an obsessive fan
+Alex Scott-Moncrieff They said Memory is better, not Cats. Let's not jump to madness here. Cats isn't even better than Love Never Dies, Let alone Phantom.
+Lucy20141 someday? You realize it beat Cats for longest running broadway musical, right? I think it was raised.
IM FUCKING DYING AT THE FACT THAT THEY CHOSE HASA DIGA EEBOWAI OUT OF ALL BOOK OF MORMON SONGS LMAO
alex Just the fact that they but a song in there from The Book of Mormon Musical.
alex AAAND I BELEEEEIVEE, THAT IN 1978 god changed his mind about black people.
IMHO Dreamgirls and Jennifer Hudsons outstanding song And I´m telling you should be number one 🥰
“I dreamed a dream” is neither inspirational nor optimistic. It is a very beautiful but sad song. Now I think they have no idea on what they are talking about.
Phantom of the opera should be first why isn't it I'm so mad pha-*memory starts playing* *starts crying* ok you got me
Bubble Berry she speaks the truth
Not even an honourable mention to any song from Oliver!?
Yes!
Music of the Night, I thought it would be the main theme
I may be biased but my favorite performance of "memory" is by lea salonga.
WHY would you use Music of The Night instead of the title song? The goddamm piano notes are iconic for a reason!
At least half that soundtrack could make this list, with several worthy of it's number 2 spot. Personally I have no problem with them choosing any of several songs from the show, and I would personally have put it at number 1.
Grant Harriman true. Personally I don't like motn very much, and the title track's so iconic so wouldn't it make more sense to use that one?
Well, it's not there because it's a Pink Floyd song.
It's technically an Organ. There's a difference. I'm sorry I had to >.
Phantom of the Opera is the longest running musical on broadway because it is BY FAR the best. There is no reason why cats should be placed above it.
Alex Meurer THANK YOU!
Alex Meurer Cats and Phantom Of The Opera are both equally good I love both and you can’t convince me😂😂😂. But I agree there are way better songs in Phantom then in Cats
YASSSSSS
AGREED.
As a whole sure, but that's mostly because 'Memories' is so much better than most other songs in Cats. In the Phantom of the opera, almost all songs are great, and the story is interesting.
Memory ❤️❤️❤️. The best and most beautiful. This song have everything !
If you're going to use Phantom, at least use Sarah Brightman's version. The musical was written specifically to her voice.
Or at least Sierra boggess.. Voice
I’m a huge fan of Phantom but Sarah Brightman’d voice is just annoying i much rather have Sierra Boggess
Or at least any theatrical version, as we were told at the beginning that songs made popular by the movie versions were not considered.
And also... Gerard Butler 😬Michael Crawford / Ramin Karimloo would be so much better lol
@@jamihede4440 Actually, we were told that songs from movies not based on Broadway/West End musicals were not considered. The Wizard of Oz movie did not use any of the music from the 1902 musical of the same name, which is why "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and other songs from the movie weren't considered. The 2004 movie version of Phantom pretty much is the stage show, only with a few better special effects that can't be done live. The songs are all the same. Probably it was easier for Mojo to get clips of the movies than of recordings of the stage productions for some of them, too. I mean, has anyone ever seen a recorded stage production of Rocky Horror?
Ya like jazz
pig **drops plates and screams**
pig well not all jazz but definitely like jazz band jazz that's so weird I'm sorry
mwah?
And *ALL . . . THAT . . . JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* ;)

IMMA GET A SCHOLARSHIP TO KINGS COLLEGE
I want a Wicked Movie! Kristen, Idina, Leo. Now!
Jonathan Young youll be happy to hear a wicked movie with the original cast is confirmed to be released in 2019 😃😃😃
I would love Kerry Ellis in it, original West end cast. She's amazing.
Nyree Rowland 100% agree
Not the original cast...it will likely be Lea Michelle and (please not) Amanda Seyfried.
I WANT A LA LA LAND PLAY
What about something from 'The Man of La Mancha'? I think 'Impossible Dream' outdoes several of these easily. Or 'Try to Remember' from 'The Fantasticks'? What about songs from Roger and Hammerstein musicals, for example, 'Ol' Man River' from 'Showboat' or 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning' from 'Oklahoma? Perhaps they are all to old fashioned now.
there was no sondhiem on this list...Sweeney Todd is sooooo underappreciated!!!!!
TO be fair, Sondheim's musicals don't go mainstream. I'm glad they don't.
I love The Worst Pie in London and A Little Priest are such marvelous conceptions or confections. Grisly musical.
The list lost all its credibility for me when there was not a single Sondheim song.
@@justinm2697 ITs not a most popular list though, It's best songs, you cannot not,
have a Sondheim or 3
“Cell block tango” is better than “all that jazz.”
Thank you
I much prefer "Sweet Transvestite" to "The Time Warp." I am sad no song from "Sweeney Todd" made this list, even as an honourable mention.
Cordelia Palmer If they make "Another Top 10" there's multiple they could at least mention but the one that came to mind right away is A Little Priest
They should have had at least one Sondheim song instead of that song from Hair or instead of giving Andrew Lloyd Webber two songs on the list. A bit unfair. Sondheim deserves a mention.
I'm happy with 'Memory' being #1 on the list. 'The Phantom of the Opera' might be the better musical but 'Memory' from 'Cats' is the greatest song from any musical in history.
Of all those chosen by Ms. Mojo, my favorite is "The Darkness of the Night", I believe it was sung by Michael Crawford. I saw it performed in Detroit by a musical company. I was *REALLY* impressed by all the required by the theater (I think it was the Masonic Theater. We'd gotten third row seats a couple of seats just left of center stage. *Truly effing impressive!*
