Prince Of Egypt is a masterpiece!! The music Stephen Schwartz made for it is just incredible!! 😭🧡🙏🙌

[@TheImaginator972]

It's my all time favorite movie today :-)

[@thenarnianhufflepuff6077]

I love the songs he wrote especially the plagues, deliver us, and through heaven’s eyes

[@Chocobear555]

I agree. It should have made it into the Top 5. Its soundtrack is superior to, "Pocahontas."

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Don't forget Hans Zimmer's breathtaking score in the film.

[@kaitlyncabaniss1832]

I am LOVING all this broadway/theatre content!!!

[@TheImaginator972]

The three soundtrack I loved of Stephen Schwartz is The Prince Of Egypt, Pocahontas, and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

[@HowCaseySeesIt]

100% agreed!

[@WrenFaithBridger]

Thank you for giving "Godspell" some love. That soundtrack is my childhood. "Day By Day" was my mother's favorite song (she died last year; I still use it for my father's ringtone) and my sisters & I could sing the entire album; my oldest sister (I'm the youngest) & I even sang "By My Side" at my grandmother's wedding.

[@SVHAW87]

"God Help the Outcasts" should've been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song!

[@allisonthomas995]

i know right and Out there should have been nominated to but at least the deleted song someday was nominated for that category at the Oscar's and thats better than nothing

[@EricMontreal22]

It wasn't. The score was though @@allisonthomas995

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Love "The Prince of Egypt" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Such underrated epics.

[@misterjakester]

Do one of these for Stephen Sondheim

Yessssss

[@nicolefolkert0730]

Ms. Mojo - I love your Broadway-based videos, but, for the love of God, please stop playing that performance of Idina at the Tonys. She had the flu when she performed and doesn't sound ANYWHERE as good as when she's perfectly healthy. That being said, I love this list so much.

[@newageoutlaw]

Ok let's just show all of the other professionally shot footage we have of Idina Menzel as Elphaba. Oh that's pretty much it? Oh ok.

[@anonuniversal364]

Lol, I've never heard this musical and I thought sheesh, I hope that's not the original cast member singing lol. Glad to know it was just an off night.

[@laurissa1790]

Children of Eden deserved top 5. It's such an underrated masterpiece.

[@thenarnianhufflepuff6077]

Elphaba is one of my dream roles if I ever make it on broadway I love wicked It’s one of my favorite musicals next to prince of Egypt, hunchback of notre dame, and many others including enchanted and pocahontas

[@isabelerhart9523]

thenarnianhufflepuff same

[@olvialee7221]

The Prince of Egypt is my favorite DreamWorks movie. Epic story from the Bible, A-List cast and great songs. I was shocked in surprise that it became a musical on Broadway

[@jamesreves2099]

Children of Eden, which is one of his favorites, should absolutely be in the top 10. Even though it's not main stream, it is truly magical! If you haven't listened to it. Please do yourself a favor and listen NOW!!

[@wesleycolemanmusic]

He says it's his favorite musical and the best of the one's he's written in a recent interview for WICKED.

[@Lady-Kanerasoka]

“Prince of Egypt,” “Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and “Enchanted” are among my all time favorite films. Stephen Schwartz is nothing short of a genius. My all time favorite song he’s ever written is “When You Believe” because it’s given me comfort through countless dark times throughout my life

[@jacobgarrity651]

1. Wicked is my favorite musical on Broadway and it’s number one for me because I love it and grew up listening to it because it became a part of my childhood forever ever since I was a kid. 2. Dreamwork’s Prince of Egypt is my second favorite 3. Pippin is my absolute favorite musical because I love Patina Miller and Ben Vereen

[@niamh8920]

I wanted to see Wicked since I was 9 and I first heard the song Popular sung by Kristen Chenowith. I became obsessed with it and my best friend went to see it 3 times but I couldn't afford it. Last year, for my 13th birthday, my parents surprised me with tickets to go see it on the West End and I was totally ecstatic. It was the 2nd stage musical I had ever seen, and it was totally worth the wait.

[@dannysimion]

I love Stephen Schwartz. So many great songs and musicals he was credited for and with. Too many to list here! Pocahontas is already my personable favorite amongst the list.

[@olvialee7221]

140: He takes it seriously. Make sense that Pocahontas is Disney’s serious movie

[@avaelick]

I saw Wicked with the OBC... sadly I was 5 so I don’t remember any of it.

[@laurellane1721]

Godspell should have been #2. I've seen casts in tears as they are performing this play. The music is wonderful.

[@thomashayes5597]

Godspell is good, but Pippin is miles clear

[@IWillBeHers]

It was announced today that Prince of Egypt is getting a full West End production next year!

[@mattpace9736]

I saw the tryout in Utah last summer, and it was powerful.

[@RubyChan05]

Children of Eden deserved to be more than an Honourable Mention! I saw it at the Union Theatre in London a few years ago, and it was fantastic!

[@justineves9430]

Very very great list I like it a lot and a lot of fun too and amazing too

[@hannahbarch4695]

I love Wicked as much as the next theatre nerd but it’s not Schwartz’s best work. It’s only his most well known. The Prince of Egypt should be number 1 in my own opinion. It’s a masterpiece in every respect.

[@alexisgarcia1344]

I felt Hunchback was his BEST! He used regular English coupled with Latin through out; hauntingly beautiful. I would say Pocahontas would be tied with Prince of Egypt because the use of native Hebrew and Powtan languages. But the languages were not seamlessly integrated like Hunchback.

[@katiehelms8903]

I mean Wicked is my favorite musical of all time… but I LOVE Prince of Egypt!!!

[@StineFae]

I love Wicked. Seen it 6 times in the West End, but it's not Stephen Schwartz best. My personal top 3 would probably be 1. Prince of Egypt, 2. Hunchback, 3. Wicked.

[@Tayyymonique]

thank you for putting Prince of Egypt first, I feel like that movie doesn't get the credit it deserves.

I agree, it’s really under appreciated and a really good movie. (Prince of Egypt)

[@isabelerhart9523]

[@olvialee7221]

Three songs I love that he did; When You Believe, Defying Gravity and God Help The Outcasts

[@Countrydiva524]

Finally Wicked gets some respect! Not like i'm a fan or anything... I've only seen it 7 times.

[@thenarnianhufflepuff6077]

I showed Enchanted to someone I was seeing at the time and even though he wasn't feeling it , it's still one of my favorite Disney movies ever 💝

Stephen & Alan are practically like brothers. Their collaboration on Enchanted was a match made in Disney and Broadway magician heaven.

[@Wickedfan219]

as soon I saw the name Stephen Schwartz in the title and saw Wicked was on the thumbnail, I immediately clicked on the video! I love Stephen Schwartz's musicals and Wicked is my favorite of them, considering my channel name!

I’m here after watching Fosse/Verdon do an episode on Pippin, one of my fav shows.

[@jacobbelow4136]

Great news: It was just announced that the stage adaptation of Prince of Egypt is officially coming to West End next year!

[@WrenFaithBridger]

As long as they sing "When You Believe" like in the movie, and NOT like the Houston/Carey "pick-a-note" version.

[@rebecca8525]

I hope it comes to Broadway

[@rebecca8525]

Defying Gravity is one of my favorite songs of all time.❤

[@IknowThings1]

Can’t believe that Prince of Egypt wasn’t at least top 3. Great partnership between him and zimmer!

[@Showtunediva]

Favorite Stephen Schwartz Musicals Wicked, Pocahontas, Children Of Eden, Enchanted & Pippin I have never seen Prince Of Egypt but When You Believe is one of my favorite songs.

Enchanted was my favorite film ever until I was 8. It is a huge part of my childhood

[@AccusedJ]

Wicked is definitely Stephen Schwartz’s most popular musical, but certainly not his best. Pippin, Prince of Egypt, Godspell, and Hunchback are far better musicals.

[@anthopantho3283]

Children of Eden deserves more than an "honourable mention" IMHO 😉

[@finnjackson77]

Children of Eden deserves more than an honorable mention in my opinion

[@pearlforrester9222]

I wish that show got more love. Lost in the Wilderness and Ain’t it Good are such amazing songs.

[@finnjackson77]

Pearl Forrester right both are personal favorites of mine

[@missprincesscarina]

Ah, I see the resemblance of Glinda being in Enchanted for some reason.

[@CharlotteHoogenboom]

Wicked is one of my favorite musicals

[@ryleewarren2387]

Do one of these list with Alan Menken!

[@juanrisa945]

There's one

[@joshuaescopete]

Where’s the love for Geppetto with Drew Carey? That’s one of my favorite Stephen Schwartz musicals.

[@juliacosta2571]

YES !!! I've been saying for years it should be adapted for Broadway

[@meganamy8154]

Could you do a top ten Alen Menken musicals

[@darthstarkiller1912]

My guess for #1: Beauty and the Beast.

[@meganamy8154]

darthstarkiller1912 I think I’d have to say Aladdin is number one

[@jamiewatkins3045]

Children of Eden is incredibly, so underrated

[@maggie_schmitt]

THANK GOD PIPPIN IS HERE!!!!

[@vickymitchell5707]

Yes. Wicked is the best musical ever written. No doubt about it.

[@cje24576]

I completely agree with the other comments. Please please do one for Andrew Lloyd Webber & Stephen Sondheim!

Matthew James Thomas in Pippin was so good

[@miaya.micronis]

Can we have Rogers and Hammerstein?

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Yes, those guys were wonderful songwriters. Love "The Sound of Music" and "The King and I".

[@miaya.micronis]

darthstarkiller1912 love the sound of music and Julie Andrews

[@hoochiemoochie89]

Not hard to figure that Wicked and Pippin are in the top 3 By the way, love Pocahontas, but it’s not even in the same stratosphere as Prince of Egypt

[@DDTC73]

Working only made the list so you could mention LMM. Children of Eden is a Top 5 score and deserves more than an honourable mention

[@katherinekempton]

Could you please do something like this with Andrew Lloyd webber?

[@Chocobear555]

I don't think it's right that, "The Prince of Egypt," didn't make it into the Top 5. Quite frankly, I think the songs and music are better than the songs and music featured in, "Pocahontas."

[@WrenFaithBridger]

I have to agree. I have "Heaven's Eyes", "When You Believe" (the movie version...NOT the sub-par Houston/Carey version) and "You're Playing With the Big Boys Now" (Martin & Short are spectacular in that) on my MP3 player, which I nabbed after my daughter asked for the soundtrack CD.

[@ThatWickedOzian]

I'm actually not excited at all that Wicked will become a movie bc I don't want them to ruin it. If they do it right it'll be amazing but I guess we shall see

[@elphabathropp2818]

Most people don't know that Idina Menzel was in Enchanted because she didn't sing.

[@brizejellicle]

The studio cast recording of Hunchback is much better than the movie. There are many more songs and there is much more to the story (with the annoying gargoyles and goat removed). It is still a Disney musical production but never made it to Broadway.

[@ajpat9620]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is really an underrated classic. A live-remake should do it justice for the underrated classic, by fixing its story and draw its power in its source material. And there's one director who could nail the live-action remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Alfonso Cuaron. And there's also actors and actresses that can nail these characters: Quasimodo - Eddie Redmayne (aided with a practical makeup and prosthetics) Esmeralda - Alicia Vikander Judge Claude Frollo - Richard E. Grant Captain Phoebus - Oscar Isaac Clopin Trouillefou - Lin-Manuel Miranda Archdeacon - Anthony Hopkins

[@juanrisa945]

I think Tim Burton should direct the upcoming remake, and that Jim Carrey should play Clopin.
