The fact Idina Menzel is part of the original cast of the songs presented in the Top 2 and 3, show us how wickedly talented she is.

As a Broadway fanatic, you can belt that I've unapologetically sung many of these songs at the top of my lungs, especially in the shower! 🚿😉🎶

Good lord. My mom and dad were theater people in highschool and college, and I am amazed at how many songs on this list were lullabies sung to my brother and I. God bless the theatre

I know that only 100 musicals could be included and this is honestly a great list but the lack of Bonnie and Clyde, Heathers and Six hurt my soul

I sang along to nearly every song on this list and watched the entire thing! But, I'm so surprised "I'm Here" from The Color Purple is at 53! This song gives me goosebumps, especially with Cynthia Erivo's vocals. Also I would've picked "Falling Slowly" from Once.

[Lemf]

I think one song that is missing from this list and I was kinda disappointed to not see it is As If We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Boulevard... that is an amazing song and an amazing role for the person who plays Norma, it's also become a standard of musical theatre songs

[heavenlylight]

I wish there had been a song from seven brides for seven brothers. I loved the list, so many great songs.

[Mattyyiz]

Honestly, Memory from Cats is a masterpiece.
