[@MamaPinks]

YES! Fantastic video! You nailed this one, song for song! I loved it!🎉❤🎉

[@vkramis4999]

Moulin Rogue! That has one of the best opening numbers! And Nicole Kidmen is fabulous

[@katmahasti]

"The Greatest Showman"! The opening number and the song "From Now On". Come on!! Those folks were going HAM! Every time I hear those songs I start stomping and singing!

[@maryklawitter2732]

you missed a few: The Music Man - Ending. Brigadoon - Go Home w/ Bonnie Jean. 1776 - Sit Down John!

[@clairepettie]

I'm going through in Coming to America. I know that's not a traditional musical, but there's no denying that the ensemble number blew everyone away.

[@Megan-bt9pm]

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

[@contardi]

Young Russ Tamblyn was great

[@Elizabeth9694]

Agreed, LOVE that scene!

[@vernahelm107]

My thoughts exactly.

[@painetdldy]

them women was sobbin sobbin sobbin fit to be tied

[@melanieomer9186]

The barn raising dance is one of the best ensemble performances ever.

[@denisesf5]

Have you never seen the dancing in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers???? OMG.

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I Love the dancing in the movie

[@arosary2188]

That is the only musical where I will call my sisters to put it on.

[@indyavonside207]

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

[@bettinahooper5344]

It was the first number that popped into my head when I saw the video title. Not crazy about the film but that number completely blew me away (still does- I watch the clip sometimes).

[@Mister_Listener]

That was Mabel King?? I didnt realize she was such a powerhouse singer.

[@taahiramcgee]

When they met the Wizard, that was the best dancing. I wanna be seen green.

[@maxinef6654]

I didn’t like the movie, but Mabel King’s part was the best.

[@Musik216]

Agreed, but it didn't deserve 10th place....

[@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! 😂🤣

[@hopemcgrath923]

Truth. Idk how i never passed out on stage after we finished the number

[@laraduff4949]

Haha that’s so true! I did that number in drama school ages ago and I was really struggling for breath! Lol

[@mojo500100]

For what it’s worth, kids, your audiences no doubt appreciated your hard work. It’s a dynamite number.

[@mervyngreene6687]

I love everyone in this new number. HOWEVER, little Inez almost stole the show.

[@christianfranz2686]

That’s very true I get out of breath watching it, ne and my friends would dance to you can’t stop the beat in my basement the collapse on the floor out of breath and sweating

[@hyunakiro]

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.

[@SciFiFemale]

I was waiting for Oliver to turn up.

[@outoftheforest7652]

OMG YES Oh and also SCROOGE!!! the one with Albert Finney! WOW. That is the best!

[@tinafreeman108]

Absolutely agree

[@Scottsteaux63]

I love OLIVER! That show has more show stoppers than most musicals.

[@ConradSpoke]

100% right.

[@emtgirl777]

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 😂😂😂

[@qthedancer4711]

The green shirt guy was in my senior class.

[@EmphaticNod]

"Performing like the rent is due tomorrow," had me spitting my water. 🤣🤣

[@clairepettie]

@@qthedancer4711 That's so cool! When I was a little kid I thought he must have either been the choreographer or the choreographer's kid - front and center and so memorable.

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.

[@outoftheforest7652]

EXCACTLY!.. all those ^^^^

[@tinafreeman108]

I love the Enchanted Work Song, but I concede that an ensemble of rodents, roaches, and pigeons doesn't count.

Ohhh the barn raising one is so good. Also missed is Barbra Strisands Hello Dolly"

[@FlatironBetty]

YESSSSS

[@workrelatedproject]

"Belly up to the bar" - Debbie Reynolds ....

[@chadhundley]

3 more I definitely would have added would be: “I Hope I Get It” from Chorus Line, “La Vie Boheme” from Rent and “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman! Part 2 needed please!!

[@cayzee4719]

wow thanks. now I have to rewatch rent. this sucks /s

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

Yes. "This is Me" is incredible.

[@sandrabeaumont1980]

I totally agree with your choices here!!!! All three of those would definitely be on my list!!!!

[@tinafreeman108]

Yeah, surprised that was left out.

[@robstockton911]

“A Chorus Line” theoretically should be all over this list, but it’s just such a lousy movie.

[@nataliecarbone6997]

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!!

[@TuscanMilkmaid]

The late great Daniel Levins, who outdanced all the stars in "Grease". Gone too soon.

[@seanmoran-w6u]

@@TuscanMilkmaid was a prince to work with, certainly helped this non dancer in the film- especially in Greased Lighting

[@renataheaden2509]

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

[@jessicas.4898]

The Sister Act movies are amazing! I didn't like SA2 as much as SA1 but that final dance scene, myua *chef's kiss*!

[@hannahhester8376]

Yes!!!

[@CortexNewsService]

That scene is the reason I keep rewatching that movie.

[@amiegallagher3650]

That scene is awesome! Gives me the shivers.

[@ConchitaCh]

True!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kirita1346]

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

[@janabelle-h4b]

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

[@Circusfire999]

[@maestroclassico5801]

I almost think it's probably too recent to make the list....but YES! Ive never seen an ensemble of kids do that...even Annie

[@punkwrestle]

JCS should have gotten one for the Simon Zealotes song or maybe King Herod’s…

[@robstockton911]

Oh yeah, “Take Off With Us” from All That Jazz.

[@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.

[@contardi]

I loved it

[@mervyngreene6687]

I am not sure about that: "he ran into my knife ten times!," "Some guys just can't handle their arsenic."

[@quentinbarrentine5114]

@@mervyngreene6687 I believe she was referring to the Hungarian woman who couldn't speak English, and was likely wrongfully hanged.

[@liveicelive]

One of my favorites!

[@mervyngreene6687]

The first time I saw "Chicago," I was with a female friend. She LOVED "the Cell Block Tango." She claimed that all of the women acted in self defense. In other words, "he had it coming!" She was (mostly) joking. But it did bring up an interesting issue. In the movie, Roxie and Fred fight before she shoots him. However, in the stage production, she shoots him because "nobody walks out on me."

[@DanGamingFan2406]

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.

[@mervyngreene6687]

I agree. AND, the original is clearly the best.

[@inthrutheoutdoor5849]

A great list. One of my favorites is "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello Dolly! So much fun. The entire cast, including Barbra Streisand, dances.

[@kristinschermann6581]

Yessss! How about the waiters near the end (I mean, it's not the entire cast, but....) There is just something (magical) about a guy number!

[@Kristine_202]

We did "Joyful, Joyful" in choir when I was in HS. We did it the exact same way as the movie, so a soloist came out and sang the Lauryn Hill part and then she did all of the riffs. 25+ years later and that soloist just made her Broadway debut as the lead (Patina Miller's understudy) in "Into the Woods." I'll have to see if I can find the VHS (yikes!) of us performing together. About 20 of us showed up to see her first performance on Broadway. It was amazing.

[@peggyknecht5551]

I did the ASL part when my college choir sang it.

[@EarthaKitty-mb5pb]

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!

[@RandiBeeman]

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

[@dicklauder4310]

That was Senta Moses. I only know this because I saw The Blues Brothers shortly after a saw a tour of the musical Annie a few months before and she played the youngest orphan Mollie.

[@kenrider393]

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!

[@JforRajasa]

What about Moulin Rouge? Their 'Come What May' number's visual, vocal, and story telling are amazinggggg

[@jamesbaio9327]

If not Come What May...Tango Roxanne is my Top fave.

[@alyshataylor5070]

I was thinking Can Can

[@ladyshar42]

@@alyshataylor5070 that was the one I was thinking of.

⁠Absolutely! That was raw!!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is up there for me!!!

[@Chantara27]

The opening number from “Rent” should have been on here. Also, “You Can’t Stop The Beat” should have been higher.

[@blessed2live71]

I was just saying that! Mark zooming on his bike opening with "how do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?" Come on man! How could you miss that?!

[@zereprd3911]

OMG!! "..you go, green shirt guy..!!" I just LOVE MsMojo for acknowledging that dancer! I don't know him, but I always gravitate to watching him dance whenever that video or scene comes around..

[@daytonapeanut]

But nobody's gonna talk about the short girl in the pink dress? I swear this girl was determined to be seen because in every dance number she's always a little out of formation. In the final number she's practically dancing in the middle of the aisle. She grabs my attention every single time.

I have Grease on DVD (it may be a special anniversary edition, I can't recall right now) and on the commentary they acknowledge the featured ensemble dancers (AKA D1-20) as acting as dance captains and teaching the other dancers the moves. We Go Together is their curtain call. 😍🤩

[@myrakelley7003]

Thank you for including The wiz such an underrated musical. With some legends staring in the movie such as MichaelJackson. It deserves so much love and attention 🥹🥹

[@outoftheforest7652]

I think they should have don the CAN YOU FEEL A BRAND NEW DAY! That was even more powerful

[@ConchitaCh]

Yeap!

[@robstockton911]

Mabel King hated the dress because it was impossibly heavy, hot, and bulky, but when she saw it on screen she changed her tune because it worked perfectly.

[@jkrapenc1034]

I don't think any of these don't belong here, but I was surprised to see that you missed Aquarius from "Hair," and Roxanne from "Moulin Rouge." Those are awesome ensemble performances!

[@marythompson6282]

My freshman chorus class performed Joyful Joyful at our concert. Except it was myself and another female student who did the tumbling across at the beginning. Sister Act 2 had come out that year, and 28 years later it still is the best chorus performance ever!!

[@Aikidragon_Prime]

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

[@Tedzepeda3986]

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?! :-(

[@jrlexjr]

You beat me to it.

[@alshicke]

Right said

[@sampa2nyc]

I was thinking along those lines as well.

[@jacklow9611]

In the movie "Annie", the song "We got Annie" was an ensemble scene with incredible dancing, that made me wonder if being hired at the Warbucks mansion required you to be a classically trained dancer. Although it was a fairly small ensemble, the cast in "Godspell" (the movie) did great things in the song, "Bless the Lord, My Soul". In fact, in every song, dancing broke out.

[@corgeousgeorge]

for real, hard knock life in that movie was like a fantastic ensemble number!

[@gschreckster]

Great clips! What about Music Man: 76 Trombones in the gym, Marian Madame Librarian. Oliver has some of my favorite big numbers: Consider Yourself, Food Glorious Food, Who Will Buy, Oom Pa Pa, I'd Do Anything

[@MxNEWCASTLE]

I did a production of The Music Man and the most exhausting scene was Wells Fargo Wagon because you had to sing and dance with so much energy the whole time. Iowa Stubborn was also difficult as it involved a bunch of small family groups moving in patterns across the stage

[@robstockton911]

The Music Man’s also offers “Shipoopi” and “Madam Librarian.”

[@paulestone9713]

What about the street vendors in Oliver? Or the street parade dancers in Ferris Buellers Day Off?

[@brianscotpatterson2101]

I would've added "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line. It's a total full cast and chorus banger opener. And if we're considering animated features, "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast and "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid.

[@christianfranz2686]

I did “I hope I get it” for dance class at my school and all of the theater kids (including me) were living our best lives and dieing after we finished we just laid on the market floor out of breath

[@FlatironBetty]

[@Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

Me old bamboo is just perfection!

[@jacklow9611]

The music box dance wasn't an ensemble dance. "Me ol' Bamboo" most certainly was. Fun fact: The song referenced in the Tom Cruise version of "War of the Worlds" (Hushaby Mountain") came from the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".

Let's try to get some balance here by adding a few notables from before 1970: Lot of livin to do from Bye Bye Birdie The Barn Dance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers The Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity June is bustin out all over from Carousel

[@bestnameeverf]

Rhythm of life is such a great song!

[@jaylayson69]

Considering that Mojo tends to ignore anything before 1990 I think they did a great job balancing things. But The Barn Dance is a great number. And for once La La Land wasn’t number one

[@dmark1922]

"The Ascot Opening Day" from My Fair Lady isn't exactly "hard" but truly amazing in most every other sense (especially the costumes)

[@robstockton911]

[@cmtippens9209]

Consider Yourself from the movie Oliver! is a HUGE ensemble number.

[@sybmike]

I'm stunned that La Vie Boheme didn't make the cut.

[@inthrutheoutdoor5849]

[@merrytunes8697]

So glad The Wiz made the list!! Childhood fave!

[@amiegallagher3650]

I think it was a made for TV version, but Donny Osmond's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is amazing. There are so many great ensemble songs, like "Go Go Go Joseph" sung in the jail and everyone is dressed in wild 60's clothes.

[@anncoxwell7015]

This would have been my #1

[@devinspencer1678]

"They Both Reached For The Gun" is my favorite number from Chicago. The way the chorus just wholly embraces the marionette shtick, complete with wire work, is so much fun to watch

[@doranconroy]

I agree ... until I remember All I care about is Love .... until i remember When Youre Good to Mama .... until I remember I just Can;t do it alone ... until I rememebr the finale of the film. TO ME Chicago may not be the BEST movie ever made but it is PERFECT as far as I am concerned.

I would have included "It's a Hard Knock Life" from Annie (1982). The kids were amazing.

[@allisonbergh4429]

[@KweenKara99]

The Harmonia Gardens number in Hello, Dolly!

[@bestnameeverf]

Wth msmojo! No acknowledgement for Consider Yourself from Oliver? That songs a staple for over the top stagey routines which has been replicated many times in other movies. P.S this list needs to be at least 20.

[@robstockton911]

I agree re: To Life and Dance at the Gym. (But West Side Story is pretty much an embarrassment of riches…it probably deserves three of the spots.)

[@alistairconnor-heggie6535]

I love Lay All your Love on Me from Mamma Mia, when the guys come out of the water and start dancing then it segues into the women dancing. Love that scene every time I see it!

[@coldwinters4973]

It’s great to watch both versions of “America” from West Side Story. 💕 Your next installment should include “Brotherhood of Men” from How to Succeed in Business without Trying, “A Hundred Million Miracles” from Flower Drum Song, numbers from the current run of Moulin Rouge, and “The American Dream” from Miss Saigon (though that’s more a grand spectacle number than a pure dance routine).

[@davidcox708]

The female in that group of men never fails to amaze me with her vocals

[@garyansok1107]

Another from Blues Brothers would have to be the closing "Jailhouse Rock"!

[@linhwilliams8780]

"White Christmas" should've been on this list!!

[@theoriginallicentia]

I love the musical Grease, but I don't really see it as a number where the ensemble had to really bring it. It's extraordinarily catchy, but the dancing and singing is almost lackadaisical compared to the intensity of some of the others. Also, not sure how both Greatest Showman and Rent didn't make this list. This is the Greatest Show is a huge ensemble number, and Rent's La Vie Boheme was so innovative! Singular Sensation from a Chorus Line would've also been a great choice too, or Cats' big Jellicle number!

[@patriciagrandjean8205]

I'd vote for Two Judy Garland ensemble numbers: "Get Happy" from Summer Stock and "Mack the Black" from The Pirate.

[@tgrareallybadicantplay6766]

I thought "How will he know" the Central Park scene from Enchanted would have made the cut.

[@ClevelandLeah]

Great list! I would have also added one of the dance numbers from Oklahoma.

[@sharonryan2815]

Bottle Dance from Fiddler on the Roof, the huge Lullaby of Broadway number from Goldiggers of 1935, Hello Dolly title number and Put on your Sunday Clothes from Hello Dolly Rich Man's Frug from Sweet Charity.

[@laurellane1721]

I would have picked the Bottle Dance over Tradition.

[@louis-mariopelletier201]

On Grease, the guy on the Green shirt you refer to was named Daniel Levans. And he was a highly trained classical ballet dancer and took part of the best ballet companies in the USA. He unfortunately lost his battle to a lung infection in 2015.

[@EduardoPelonso]

I would have included "Nicest Kids in Town" from "Hairspray". It's perfection: choreography, execution, filming, camera work, fresh funny demi casual tone, each dancer's character expression.

[@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks]

It's a great list. I just wish you had shown more of each number.

[@mystikceleste]

The Higher Medley from Joyful Noise is such a party! That movie is severely underrated and always overlooked.

[@regand7830]

Hmmm...I loved "Cool" from the original Westside Story movie. I think it's because most huge frenetic numbers from these musicals are joyful. Whereas, the Jets are trying to decompress after witnessing two tragic deaths from a gang rumble gone wrong. The weight of what happened to them, is interpreted brilliantly in this dance. And nowadays, most photography of these kinds of scenes, have too fast cutaway, so that you can barely register seeing the movements.
