It is a crime that we don't have professionally shot original cast recordings of every musical.

Dude, the kids from Matilda are crazy talented! They're the next generation of Broadway/West End stars fr

The Hunchback of Notre Dame musical is so underappreciated, I genuinely fell on my knees listening to the end of 'The Bells of Notre Dame' 😭

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW UNDERRATED QUARTET AT THE BALLET IS

The Les Mis clip - Lea Salonga belting out against all those tenors is what does it for me.

What I love about musical theater is the way they prioritize the communication of the emotion over the exact musical accuracy, and it always works so well. Of course they are absurdly talented singers, but really being able to belt out a note that feels right even if its a little sharp or flat is really really really impressive, and it always makes the performance feel so much more alive than say a studio recording

No bc Amy Lennox understood the assignment. She knew EXACTLY how this song was meant to be sung

ok no but can we talk about how amazing that dancer is at 6:41??? doing that many pirouettes in a row;;;;;

What I love about sierra’s Christina in that moment was that she turned and belted and the smoke in the air perfectly looked like her soul escaping. And Ramin will forever be my phantom and Hadley my Raoul ❤

The performance of Yorktown at the Tonys without guns was so powerful. I loved it

Ramin Karimloo could burn my house down to nothing but bits of ash and I would apologize for it being so flammable. The man is an ever loving GENIUS!!!!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT QUASIMODO TRANSFORMING ON STAGE IT GAVE ME FULL BODY CHILLS AT THE BEGINNING AND END

Aaron hitting that high note live during Roxanne was life changing.

The fact that "All You Wanna Do" isn't in this When she started sobbing but forcing the song to continue, I had goosebumps all over

that key change in Once And For All will get me EVERY single time

2:00 OMG I NEVER SEE HUNCHBACK INCLUDED IN THESE AND ITS SO GOOD????? i was in my community’s production of hunchback that closed 2 weeks ago (i was in the choir!) and it was INSANE. the leads were SO GOOD and the set was amazing!! i loved being in the choir bc we made the whole show just. gah. amazing

Aaron Tveit and Ramin Karimloo...awwww....

Not the Les Mis clips making me cry. And Once and For All is probably my favorite part of Newsies. I was in a production of Newsies my sophomore year of high school, and it was my favorite musical I've ever been a part of

I LOOOOOOOOOVE the deaf west production of hunchback!!! deaf west introduced me to Joshua Castille in their spring awakening revival, and he was soooo amazing!!

I’m so so happy someone else shares the feeling a as me about the 17 Jean Valijeans singing together. IT SOUNDS SO POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. Never don’t smile or get chills listening to that. ❤️❤️❤️ EXACT same thing on The Final Lair and Wandering Child in PTO.

Oh my god, the first clip is incredible. What a singer.

I love musicals because it shows how beautiful things humans with a common passion could create

The Lion King (stageshow) adding He Lives In You from LK2 was the best thing they could do! Its my favourite song from LK in general! Plus the use of Han Zimmers soundtrack by adding lyrics was goosebump inducing!

7:40 Kate Shindle wanted the song to end with a true climax so, during a rehearsal, she just. friggin. WENT FOR IT. LOVE her.

I got to see Amy Lennox in Cabaret when I visited London and her performance changed my whole perception of Sally Bowles and the story of Cabaret. She was amazing

I got to see Carollee Carmelo as Donna in NYC and when I tell you she blew the damn roof off, I need you to understand that the actual song “Mamma Mia” had me crying from the sheer power and talent just radiating off of her.

VERY much appreciating the love for hunchback here. i was in that show as a kid and it was a genuinely life-changing experience. In all the community to professional theater i've done, it's still one of the best shows (if not the best) that i've ever been able to be in ngl

For the first few minutes I hadn’t seen Newsies and I was about to blow up this comment section. One of my fave musicals of all time, so many showstopping moments

Dude i literally have an audition later today i should NOT be crying rn but good GODDD these performances are so good😭😭 the final performances go especially hard cause of how special they are UGH i love theater so much🙏🙏

Christopher Jackson has one of my favourite voices ever. It’s so soulful, a beautiful timbre, and so resonant. And, Jemma Rix will forever be my Elphaba. She was so ON when I went to see Wicked. Every note was literally perfect.

HEAVY on the final chorus of once and for all

The Les Mis clips are making me so emotional 😭 I have been OBSESSED with the 17 Valjeans singing since I was 14!!! I'm 24 now and I still get chills and cry everytime I listen to that cast

I went to middle school with the kid who played the main young boy in newsies (Ethan Steiner) and he's such a sweetheart. He was the best actor in our middle school rendition of twelfth night and he played the jester lmao

Bro, the way I burst into tears over the 17 Valjeans.

I LOVE SIERRA BOGGESS SM SHES AMAZING

8:26 I NEVER THOUGHT ENSEMBLE MARCHING COULD BE SO MAGICAL

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RAMIN ESPECIALLY IN ALL THE PERFORMANCES HES DONE , PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LES MIS NAILED IT 😭♥️LOVE LES MISERABLES

ramin，definitely one of the musical gods

ThANK YOU SO MUCHHHH! I have so much fun watching this videos! And I didn't realize how amazing Danna Paola is! Her riff is sooo epic

That lone trumpet blast during Les Mis gave me goosebumps

God I feel so so blessed to have seen Ramin live 🥹💕

Both of the Les Mis clips brought me to tears.

.02 seconds in and I know that you have good taste because you chose to start with El Tango de Roxanne

Also the fact that i can hear a Michael Ball Marius through the 17 Valjeans is something

I was loving it from the beginning but the 17 Jean Valjean's got me crying 😭😭😭😭

I cried through basically the whole video

This is an amazing compilation!! Thank you for this. My favourite will always be Ramin Karimloo! So effortless! So much passion!! Ugh he just brings so much to the character of the Phantom

I'm not a huge theater buff (I love Broadway but I haven't seen a lot) but the 17 Jean Valjeans had me clapping with my jaw on the floor

thank you sm for the Anastasia and hunchback appreciation especially quartet at the ballet it’s so underrated 😭

Hunchback is absolutely amazing. It's easily the best Disney movie musical stage adaptation and doesn't get nearly enough credit or publicity. I didn't really know what to think when we got tickets and left blown away. I will go see it again in a heartbeat if it comes back.

I haven’t watched a live musical in so long. This reignited my excitement for them 👏🏼

Two more Aaron Tveit chills moments for you: The Tony's performance of I Am The One from Next To Normal And!!! There's a clip of Aaron Tveit and Brian D'Arcy James' version of I Am The One Reprise Brian's "Gabe... Gabriel..." is 😭 Ok I said two but oh well Also J. Robert Spencer's version of I Am The One Reprise is also 😭😭😭 just Next To Normal in its entirety is non-stop chills

That Les Miserables One day more literally sent me to heaven. That was absolutely heavingly.

10th Anniversary Les Mis was just beautiful!

Gosh, this is what I love good theater for!! Nothing beats the feeling of performing along these kinds of stunning actors and freaking crying for them when they rock the show 😅 I got so many chills watching this, I’m literally still cold, amazing video!!

I'm posting this timestamp for my own reference because what the hell that vocal control has me FLOORED 10:42 When you said underrated Derek Klena moment I didn't expect it to be SEVERELY underrated

12:30 Ramin and Sierra are forever my King and Queen of Phantom of The Opera.

A video that give me chills is from The Great Comet of 1812, In my house. That song itself is so tense, I can never listen to it without getting chills

making a comment so i can see these again. damn aaron tviet

Every single moment of this video is pure gold

Wow - what a great compilation! I teared up at 'He Lives In You' because I once put on a production of The Lion King with an old class of mine and those memories are very dear to me, particularly as I no longer teach. Also, the first clip is something special. I've watched it about 20 times in this sitting alone!

For me it's Colm in the dream cast either hitting that "My Race is not yet run!" (he just says it like the challenge to Javert it is before he even gets to threatening him) or Soliloquy ( What have i done)

bro I had tears in my eyes by the end of this, good selection!

I was worried you weren't going to include Hadestown. Also, great name. I know a fellow Starkid fan when I see one.

NOT FAIR TO START THE VIDEO WITH EL TANGO DE ROXANNE!!!!

This video has forever altered my brain chemistry.

Not me crying during “he lives in you” because it’s one of my fave Disney songs of all time from my fave Disney movie of all time (my number one fave is “we are one” but “he lives in you” is a close second)

12:25 WHOOOOOO WHOOOOO WHOOOOOO

living in Belgium I don't really get the opportunity to go see musicals... But in 2019 I lived in Cambridge for 3 months and went to see The Lion King and Mamma Mia at the West End, I was blown away by both!!!

FINALLY ANASTASIA WAS MENTIONED

I knew this was gonna be a good video when the first clip was of Aaron Tveit lol

Literally so beautiful. Saw the production 2 times on Broadway. Keep singing ❤️

I basically just had chills for 15 minutes straight, thank you

So amazing!!! And so many more moments from theater must have given u chills! Great job on narrowing it down.

Appreciate you for taking the time to make this. Brilliant start to a day.

I literally had goosbumps with every song- One Day More killed me though, having teary eyes turned into crying

Starting with that part of Roxanne, absolutely hard agree 🫡

That cabaret performance change me as well, glad I'm not the only one XD

Glad the 5th Ave's production of Hunchback made the list. EJ and Josh were STUNNING to watch every night from the choir balcony. ❤❤❤ Such a gift to be a small part of this production.

I watch that cabaret performance every couple weeks I swear

Thank you for giving "Til I Hear You Sing" the love it deserves.

I don't even have anything profound to add, I'm just sitting here grinning to myself and thinking "I f*cking love musical theater" and I wanted to leave a comment to support the channel!

Honestly all musical theatre moments give me chills

adding the 25th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera was the boldest move ever, something i’d add would be 38 Planes from Come from Away.. it’s worth being here oh my gosh! great choices :)

Thank you so much for posting this. Greatly appreciated. 😊

ive never gotten full body chills but at the 17 jean valjean part my entire body felt like it was entering the atmosphere

Of course it opens with Aaron Tveit

MY GOD...truly legendary compilation 👏zero notes, utter perfection 😍

That rendition of "One More Day" gives me such intense goosebumps every single time. Incredible

Many performances I enjoyed growing up and currently. Great compilation!

AARON MY LOVE AGHHHHHHHH

I got to see the live performance of the Hunchback and it was pure magic!!!

i’m such a loser for phantom & ramin’s performances in both photo and lnd is just…amazing honestly, he’s so so talented, i adore his phantom so much

Awesome choices! Some of these I got to see live and I'm so lucky I did. The energy is so strong when you are there. I wish I could have seen more of these live

I'm so happy you included Anastasia!

We had a Hunchback of Notre Dame production in Germany a few years back and it was my absolute favourite thing. The cast was perfect and i still listen to the album! There are a few clips on youtube, i can definitely recommend them, makes me cry every time

hamilton and hadestown both have so many moments that are so good in my opinion

The Les mis had me in full body goosebumps. I nearly collapsed

The part in Les Mis that always gets me is the "to love another person is to see the face of God," trailing off into the hushed chorus of, "Do you hear the people sing, lost in the valley of the night." That combined with Eponine joining in with Fantine at the end always gives me chills.
