my favorite musical theatre moments (that send a chill right through me)

[@isaiahb8986]

It’s an actual crime that Hunchback never made it to Broadway

[@shaybrown7355]

Wait WHAT?!?!???

[@nicolerobertson2654]

IT DIDN'T?!

[@AadenKDragon]

I know!! I heard the soundtrack during a musical binge at work and was absolutely blown away. So of course I went to see if there are any Broadway scenes. COME TO FIND OUT EVERY PERFORMANCE WAS DONE BY PEOPLE WHO JUST REALLY LOVED THE SOUNDTRACK. Like.... That's amazing and while I'm sad there isnt a Broadway show there are other shows to watch.

[@milesfromyou]

@@nicolerobertson2654 yeah it didn't make it because broadway wanted to cut some of the people in the ensemble and they said "no, either you have all of us or none of us" so they were like, okay fuck you. and they kicked them out and cancelled them coming to broadway

[@CoriBeth01]

This is definitely my favorite musical!! I just really wish I could’ve seen it in person.

I know a lot of people dislike Shrek the musical but it got me through A LOT. Like, specifically the line "being liked is grossly overated" really hits different when you're lonely. Ik this sounds kinda sad but I honestly think it's really underrated and it has an amazing message.

[@alextheking4223]

i love it sm it was the first musical ive ever seen live

[@chente2707]

THE BUILD UP IN GOD HELP THE OUTCASTS!! When the ensambl lo e starts w the "i ask for wealth" all the way to "bless me!" IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THAT SONG! My favorite part of Hunchback is in Esmeralda when Frodo starts "The devil dwells in Esmeralda" to the end, chills every time

And then Ciara BELTS the key change.

[@lionlover4u]

Ayoo!! Anastasia is one of my absolute favorites. My husband and I have seen it twice now, and I gotta share something with you. When we saw the last tour, the guy who sang Stay, I Pray You, was absolutely incredible. There's a bootleg of him singing the song, look up "stay I pray you, Christian Mcqueen". I hope you like it!

[@afanontheceiling]

Be more chill is what introduced me to musical theatre and it got me through a really hard time and I still have so many shows to experience that will certainly have an impact on me but I’m so thankful for it for that reason. Also I was privileged enough to see it on Broadway and the Broadway experience is so absolutely incredible.

4:52 God I wish it was like this on the soundtrack version. The delay, the rasp and the pure emotion in his voice is just something else. The way he effortlessly glides the note through to the end. Just butters my egg roll.

[@elphbwckd212]

Michael Arden is one of the most talented people living. Not only is he an insanely talented actor and singer, but he directed some of the best revivals Broadway has seen in the last few years. Each with a very original and breathtaking reinvention of a well worn show. It's pretty amazing.

[@alexandersean4708]

This aged like fine wine!

[@nikaylajohnson3800]

Fun Fact: in high school, when we did Shrek the musical, on the last night, Shrek sang "being liked is grossly ogre-rated" and it was beautiful!

@@erikasmith3961 you're so lucky! It must've been such a great experience to watch it live!

[@erikasmith3961]

@@gaetissue I did enjoy seeing it live. I will note, it wasn’t the Broadway production but the touring company I saw live. That doesn’t change my experience at all. Anastasia was my favorite movie growing up so I was so excited already. Then Anastasia ended up being the last show I saw before quarantine hit last year. Anastasia the musical holds a place in my heart for those two reasons: 1. Favorite movie growing up & 2. Last show I’ve seen in over a year (my family has been season tickets holders to our big city’s theatre district for 5 years).
