Honestly, I'll always have a soft spot for the barn raising scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

[denisesf]

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! 😂🤣

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.

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.

Jesus Christ Superstar went hard for 2 hours straight. All That Jazz too. And the original Hairspray too

[indyavonside]

The Wiz was so overlooked glad you picked up this masterful number.

[emtgirl]

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 😂😂😂

[jiannebelle]

Also honorable mention to 'Revolting Children' from Matilda, those kids were talented asf on stage and on screen

[kirita]

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

[andrewscott]

96, 000 from In the Heights deserved an Honorable Mention at least.

[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.

[renataheaden]

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

[EarthaKitty-mbpb]

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!

[nataliecarbone]

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!!

[kenrider]

I cannot believe not even honorable mention for the “Hello Dolly” number. If for no other reason than Streisand’s beaded gown weighed 45 lbs!

[Aikidragon_Prime]

Jesus Christ Superstar, the entire movie. I'm surprised you left this one out.

[RandiBeeman]

The little girl with the curly hair in Shake a Tail Feather always gets me. She’s just adorable!

[DanGamingFan]

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.

[Tedzepeda]

Now wait a minute! Not even and honorable mention for anything in “All That Jazz”?! The ‘Take Off With Us’ number alone is worth a mention and the opening and closing numbers, ‘On Broadway’ and ‘Bye Bye Life’ are just phenomenal. And nothing for “Moulin Rouge” either?! WTH?! :-(
