musical theatre moments that live in my head rent free because they're *Alan Menken* moments

a lot of these aren't from the stage productions but we can all still appreciate the talent that's there :)
WARNING: several broadway and off broadway musicals deal with unsettling themes (such as SA, abuse, domestic violence, PTSD, trauma etc.) and images that may be triggering to audience members, viewer discretion is advised.

I have to go with "If I can't love her". I love both but the emotion, the context of literally saying "I know I'll die if she leaves but if she doesn't she won't be happy and that'd worse". I mean it's just perfect.

Finally someone who knows about a bronx tale. Literally no one DOES

[@hopeelizabeth19]

okay but how have they not made a tangled musical yet

[@hollyludvigsen6763]

I literally have opinions on everything but I can't decide which Beast song I like better, they're both incredible
Also thank you for the Hunchback love, it's so underrated

[@whateveryouhearditwasntme4109]

My thoughts on the beast songs: I like the lyrics of the first one a lot better, but the emotion from the second one is a lot more noticable (probably because soundtrack recordings are just known to have less acting and more vocal performance)

If Zachary Levi was singing to me and walking toward me, I would melt

[@littlenewbs7295]

I'm sorry but If I Can't Love Her is CLEARLY the better beast song (not just saying that bc I killed that song when I played him, I swear)
