I give major respect to Idina. She was in a few musicals on this list, including number one. She was a rockstar in Wicked. That song is not easy, and she killed it.
@@amiodarone3154 Lea's Eponine was amazing, best ever for that character IMHO, however Idina's Defying Gravity was a more technically difficult performance, so all respect for that.
Idina’s breath support i think could’ve been better in the defying gravity performance. She was gasping for breath every time she took a break (quite audibly) when in reality when breathing into the diaphragm it isn’t audible.
It’s also the way she acts the character, at this point Elphaba is scared and so she would be taking those big gasping breath although I agree it was more noticeable here
Ellie Galler oh yes it has! Jennifer Holiday and company did the tonys when the show came out. And JH won the tony that night. If you search for it on TH-cam you’ll see it. And she so deserved that Tony.
It was, until Michael Jeter did his thing in 1990 for Grand Hotel. That's the champ. Jennifer is/was amazing, but she pitched it to the back of the house instead of the TV audience, so it came out looking like "And I Am Telling You I'm Going To Eat Your Children."
Sorry, but original Les Miz on Tonys was better. Lets have a glass together from Grand Hotel is my fav. Also enjoy when they bring back classic songs from previous winners
I love Idina, but her breaths are so loud and wheezing. That was the first thing about singing I got hammered into my head, so I can’t help but notice it. Yes, it’s a hard song that requires a ton of breath, but this one was just so noticeable, it really took me out of it.
This list is the poster's OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's PURELY SUBJECTIVE!!! Obviously, the poster does NOT deem Jennifer Holliday's and Patti LuPone's performances worthy of being listed here. Simple as that!!!
Gee what an education. Who knew that the Broadway musical started in 1996? As someone who has seen the televised Tonys since the flood, these are hardly the best, especially that crap If/Then,... one of the worst shows I have seen in almost 50 years of seeing Broadway shows. One modern performance you missed was Fantasia singing I'm Here. Other performances you might check out are the 1984 Tonys, the best year in Tony history. Patti LuPone in Evita [much as I hated the show], Jennifer Holliday in Dreamgirls,, the 1976 Tonys with A Chorus Line, and so many others. Angela Lansbury's show stopping Everything's Coming Up Roses.
No Jennifer? These were some good performances but, in my opinion, not all the best. I love Wicked but that was not Ms. Menzel's best performance of that song.
Alternate title for this one is “My fave broadway musical’s tony award performances.” A lot of really great performances have not been included in the list lol 👎
Figure Skating Mashup She had an asthma attack backstage that night and the band was not keeping up with her and were going to fast. After all this song is not easy to sing..especially after being belted 8 shows a week!
I give major respect to Idina. She was in a few musicals on this list, including number one. She was a rockstar in Wicked. That song is not easy, and she killed it.
Jennifer Holliday's performance for Dreamgirls was the absolute best tony performance ever.
In YOUR OPINION!!! NOT in the opinion of the person who composed this list!!!
There is a lack of Lea Salonga in this video. Girl, literally slayed Miss Saigon and Les Miserables.
Amen say it louder for the people in the back
I know, all of these performances even pales in comparison to Lea’s Eponine, i don’t why she’s not here.

She has asthma and it was flaring that night.

Samantha H. The band was going to fast
She had had an asthma attack backstage that night
The band is going to fast
DUSTIN FROM STRANGER THINGS AT THE LES MIS PERFORMANCE CKXKSHXIFS
"Best" is so subjective. Had the uploader said "favorite" I might not be wanting to say "no" so loudly at some of these performances. 😃
I FREAKED WHEN I SAW GATEN
Girl, you want Jennifer Holiday to scream at you without naming her on this list? Dreamgirls still number one.
Rajasa Pramesywara I love dreamgirls as much as wicked but it hasn’t been on the tony awards
Just remembered it had lmao
Ellie Galler oh yes it has! Jennifer Holiday and company did the tonys when the show came out. And JH won the tony that night. If you search for it on TH-cam you’ll see it. And she so deserved that Tony.

Betty Buckley singing Memory from Cats should have been number ONE!
No no no has to be Elaine Paige
This list is missing a lot of less modern musicals.
Where’s Hair (1969), Dreamgirls (1982), The Lion King (1998)?
I was waiting for Turkey Lurkey
Andrew Rannells is awesome.
You hear Lea Salonga’s musical and suddenly everything else pales in comparison.
3:37 cue the tears and the chills, and the cheers and the tills. 😭
So The Tony's started with this generation? Anything before you all? Merman? Martin? Liza? Come on...
best 8Tony Awards show Performances
No Evita????
Baby Anthony and his hair lol
The dude that played Dustin was in there
omg KEALA SEATTLE!!!

Agree, doesn't she have asthma.
@@jreyas6263 Yeah, I believe earlier that day she'd had an asthma attack?
Which song
The music was honestly going too quickly
I remember reading a comment saying that Idina was incredibly sick that day (a cold or smt like that). So yeah, double effort.
Where's dreamgirls?
TURKEY LURKEY TIME
What about :The Phantom of the Opera”?????
name of the first man?
I agree with this list especially number 1 but what about "One song Glory?" That was the song that brought me to Rent
Dream girls. The color purple?
Dionte Brown The Color Purple is so fucking phenomenal it’s crazy!!!!!!
Not the 2015 revival tho
A gentleman’s guide to love and murder?????
You forgot Evita.
What about anything goes????🥺
What about Jennifer Holiday in Dreamgirls or Patti LuPone in Evita?? Those should be 1 and 2.
This list is the poster's OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's PURELY SUBJECTIVE!!! Obviously, the poster does NOT deem Jennifer Holliday's and Patti LuPone's performances worthy of being listed here. Simple as that!!!
This list missed major preformances…
+ Matilda lol

memo a moi meme: sampler a 1:14
Nothing before the '90s, really?
Where tf is Sutton foster
No Jennifer? These were some good performances but, in my opinion, not all the best. I love Wicked but that was not Ms. Menzel's best performance of that song.
Does anybody else not understand the hype of Hamilton?
I thought I was the only one
IF THEN???? REALLY???? THIS IS CRAZY, IT WAS AN AVERAGE PERFORMANCE FROM A BAD MUSICAL. COME ON!
Newsies.. best ever!!!!!
Alternate title for this one is “My fave broadway musical’s tony award performances.” A lot of really great performances have not been included in the list lol 👎
Jennifer Holiday should have been NO 1 with "And I am Tellin You I'm Not Goin."
This video should be titled Most Popular Musical Theatre Shows. some of these performances are not even that good...
Omg Broadway production of Pippin the singer is the worst
Jennifer holiday is no one for Dreamgirls
Seems super biased
Oh god that eponine was awful! Her voice just does not fit eponine...
The Broadway producers who CAST her in that role would STRONGLY DISAGREE with YOUR unsolicited OPINION. #JustSaying 🙄🙄🙄
Idina sounds awful here. And that flat at 7:32 yikes
Figure Skating Mashup She had an asthma attack backstage that night and the band was not keeping up with her and were going to fast. After all this song is not easy to sing..especially after being belted 8 shows a week!
I read somewhere that she was sick.
This list is missing a lot of less modern musicals.
Ya think?
