    Honestly, I'll always have a soft spot for the barn raising scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
  • @denisesf5
    Have you never seen the dancing in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers???? OMG.
  • @trinaq
    My friend was in a high school production of "Hairspray", and she joked that they should have called the final number "You can't stop to Breathe", as they were always out of breath every night! 😂🤣
  • @hyunakiro
    Cant believe 1968's Oliver isnt here coz istg every single one in the ensemble are classically trained in ballet and opera with the way they danced and sung. And they were a BIG ensemble.
  • @JonS0107
    7 Brides for 7 Brothers Barn raising; Enchanted's Central Park scene, Hair's Central Park scene and The Harvey Girls Atchison, Topeka, and the San Jose number was one of the longest choreographed routines shot in a single shot, on the first take.
  • The Wiz was so overlooked glad you picked up this masterful number.
  • @emtgirl777
    This one might need a part 2! There are so many incredible ensemble numbers out there! Also, “You go, Green Shirt Guy” was the best part of this video, IMO 😂😂😂
  • Jesus Christ Superstar went hard for 2 hours straight. All That Jazz too. And the original Hairspray too
  • @kirita1346
    I was actually expecting Consider Yourself from Oliver! to be number 1. I'm surprised it wasn't on there at all. Such a huge ensemble cast
  • Also honorable mention to 'Revolting Children' from Matilda, those kids were talented asf on stage and on screen
  • The guy in the green shirt is my go-to when explaining how committed someone needs to be, whether it’s a stage part or a job interview- that level is astounding and everyone can be Green Shirt Guy!!
  • Not including the finale of Xanadu was a grievous omission. It’s got everything: ONJ and Gene Kelly, roller disco, tight rope walkers, juggling mimes, muses, poppin and lockin, preppies, hand jiving, tango, swing dancing, zoot suits, and aerialists, all set to the music of ELO!
  • @trinaq
    I knew that "Cell Block Tango" would be highly ranked. Even though many of the women, bar one, committed petty acts of murder, the song is insanely catchy to listen to.
  • OMG, finally some recognition for Sister Act 2! And if that number doesn't get you up and dancing, you did not grow up with it
  • @chadhundley
    3 more I definitely would have added would be: “I Hope I Get It” from Chorus Line, “La Vie Boheme” from Rent and “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman! Part 2 needed please!!
  • 96,000 from In the Heights deserved an Honorable Mention at least.
  • A great list. One of my favorites is "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello Dolly! So much fun. The entire cast, including Barbra Streisand, dances.
  • @RandiBeeman
    The little girl with the curly hair in Shake a Tail Feather always gets me. She’s just adorable!
  • Patter songs in general are pretty hard to pull.off, but "America" is on another level. The vocals are amazing, especially in the original, and the choreography in both versions the choreography is absolutely impressive.
