You missed a few… No One Is Alone from Into The Woods, You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel, Burn from Hamilton. And I Dreamed A Dream should be #1 and As Long As He Needs Me needs to be top 10 not just honorable mention

Movie in My Mind too

Totally agree with you. "No One is Alone" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" should be listed, but I also think "One Song, Glory" should have been listed instead of an honorable mention.

I’m a simple woman. I sees Broadway, I clicks! But please, Ms Mojo, when the beautiful Music of the Night is in the list stop using Butler’s mangled version! Give us Ramin and Michael who know how to actually sing and have incredible voices!

I agree and I'll throw Anne Hathaway's over-acted I Dreamed a Dream in for good measure.

Was not expecting to get hit with Send in the Clowns. The drum and bugle corps I marched with, Santa Clara Vanguard, uses that as the corps song. It holds an extremely special place in my heart.

This is a hard list to narrow down! I believe all these do deserve the recognition as well as those mentioned in the comments. But I personally think Days of Plenty from Little Women should have been mentioned. It’s a mix of heartbreak and hope as a mother grapples with her own feelings of loss while also comforting her grieving daughter. It’s a very underrated musical but has some majestic songs

Nothing from Miss Saigon???? Some of the most emotional, beautiful songs are in that score. 😮

@sburris65 6 ай бұрын

Wait..hold on a minute. Why does everyone automatically pick I Dreamed a Dream? On My Own or Bring Home (especially sung by Colm Wilkinson) are powerful and emotional. Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde,What I Did For Love from.a Chorus Line. How did you overlook those???

I think I Dreamed a Dream definitely deserved to be in the top 10, but I love Someone Like You and think it deserved to be in the top 10 as well. It's a beautiful song and one of my favorites. If you don't mind a male cover of this song, I can't recommend the Voctave version of this song enough.

What about “For Good” from Wicked? A melancholy and beautiful friendship goodbye.

@apparition668 4 ай бұрын

It's a good list, for sure. I'm not sure I could choose just 10. I would really have liked to see "In His Eyes" and / or "Someone Like You" show up here, however. The former, I think, is a stronger female-pair ballad than "I Know Him So Well."

In my opinion, the film adaptation used "I Dreamed a Dream" more effectively, by having Fantine sing "I Dreamed a Dream" after being forced to prostitute herself, as opposed to simply being fired. You can feel so many emotions.

Quit calling 'Cats' silly! It's not the only time you've done it. It was one of the most successful Broadway plays around. It's beautiful. Just the way the cast moves is a marvel; they've got the mannerisms of cats down perfectly. And it's based on poetry. It is not silly. Or maybe you just don't like felines.

But not a single Kander & Ebb song - A Quiet Thing, Maybe This Time, The Money Tree, And The World Goes 'Round, Sometimes A Day Goes By, Dear One, If You Leave Me Now and All The Children in a Row are all iconic ballads.

Your choice is biased against those broadway fans that hate clowns. I personally hated send in the clowns since Judy sang it in Good Times and left JJ who was her was her manager

Well, you got 1,2,3, and 5 right. To me, the others aren't ballads. But that's just my opinion.

It makes me a little nuts when I click on a video that says best BROADWAY and these Mojo channels insist on showing a clip from a movie. In my opinion, Anne Hathaway's version of I Dreamed a Dream pales in comparison to any of the amazing women who played Fantine on stage. If you want to show clips from movies, do a list of top songs in movie musical.
