I saw the Six national tour last summer. I tell you it was CRICKETS after All You Wanna Do. You could have heard a pin drop. The audience just didn't know how to respond to that heartbreaking song.

[pingidjit]

Come From Away is just so dang good. I love how they used the stage, cast, simple props/clothing items to make 12 people seem like 16 thousand. Just an absolutely phenomenal play and surprisingly upbeat and heartfelt given the source material.

[leobold]

The most heartbreaking moment I've ever seen in musical theater is in Legally Blond when Elle and Emmett are on opposite sides of the door and Elle is singing how she needs to go back to being just a blind, and her voice crack at "some girls were just meant to smile"

Gut punch every time

[claireattemptsatmusic]

I don’t usually listen to the American versions of six bc it throws me off, but the ACTING going on in All You Wanna Do is phenomenal!!! She really put everything into that performance and it shows.

[animoo.]

I have never seen all you wanna do in slime tutorial form before. I never knew just how much emotion it is performed with live. Absolutely incredible :)

[cllapsingstrs]

sam pauly’s variation of aywd might be one of my favourite theatre moments of all time, the emotion she conveys during the bridge and last chorus ALWAYS makes me tear up without fail. one of the greatest K Howard’s of all time.

[mosstea]

Every time I see Newsies my day just gets so much better

[montrealderogatory]

That particular performance of All You Wanna Do never fails to give me the strongest chills I’ve ever felt watching a performance. I can’t even imagine how striking it would have been to see it live. I also don’t know how i’d be able to go on with my career after that point, like pack up, go home, retire. i would never believe i could deliver a performance that good again. absolutely flawless.

[KittyMax]

I swear every song from Come From Away makes me tear up.

[NT_MY_NM]

both SIX songs gave me chills all the way through. there is something so different from them recording in the booth, and putting it on spotify, then actually seeing the performance. the performance has so much more emotion and meaning to the song, and you get to see the actors/actresses tell a story through the music. it’s truly marvelous. that’s why i love SIX.

[Clouden]

I feel so bad for Six. It was a truly amazing show but because of when it came out, it got almost no recognition. Hope it gets more love in the revival.

No way high key slaps, Adrianna slayed it

[juliangines]

The way the ensemble just THROWS those notes in the finale if Parade.

[leilanyx]

parade is so underrated im glad it's getting more recognition - esp at the moment with big names like ben platt in the broadway revival. the jeremy jordan parade is so good, though - i found it through seeing clips in these compilations, found the bootleg, and was blown away. i can understand why some ppl wouldn't love it as it is a very sad and rather depressing story with not a lot of humour, but the songs are amazing.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS COME FROM AWAY

[bigonbooks]

Yes to Anastasia, Come From Away, Legally Blonde, Six and Newsies!

[lillyelizabethh]

i genuinely ascend whenever king of new york plays

[KittyMax]

Kindergarten Boyfriend from heathers is so fucking powerful.

[amafish]

8:37 just thought while watching
Jane’s costume kinda reminds me of armour. Like especially the sleeves the design looks almost like chain mail? Dunno if that’s intentional but I feel like it’s kinda fitting that she’s like in armour cuz she was like protecting herself and her heart from Henry by remaining stoic? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[KuroDokueki]

The end of Parade is just SO GODDAMN GOOD. The moment the choir opens up, I die, ascend, and am reborn.
