Hadestown was way better than the Kiss me Kate performance, let’s be real here for a second

Low key pissed that the only attention Hadestown received was a two second shot of Reeve kneeling during that performance and they chose a Dance number from a revival over an original show that was clearly better.

“You can’t stop the beat” is the greatest finale group number for any musical that I can remember. I can’t think of a song that makes me want to sing along or dance for that matter more than this one. And with the choreography and energy level, demanding everything an actor can give of course it’s nicknamed “You can’t stop to breathe”.

Although I like the "In the Heights" film quite a bit, I really, REALLY want to see this musical on stage. Thank you for the shout-out to "Next to Normal." Such a powerful score.

Thank you for including The Wild Party and the song when it ends with Eattha Kitt, she take your breath away. I wish that she would had won the Tony for best featured actress in a musical because nobody remember Karen Ziemba in Contact because that show is the reason there was a new category introduced. Berndatte Peters in Gyspy with Rose's turn is brilliant.

Thanks for including The Full Monty! Such an underrated show!

Love the zoom in on a little baby Gaten Matarazzo as Gavroche in Les Mis

I have to say, I think Come From Away is one of my favourite musicals and it's forever gonna be my favourite Tony performance. Maybe not the best my typical standards, but my favourite none the less.

YES GREAT COMET BABYYYYYYY THANK YOU SO MUCH

hadestown in 2019, and joaquina kalukango in 2022.

Just here to make sure "In The Heights" and "Hamilton" were on the list 👍🏻 And YAY for "SIX" being on here!

Anything Goes and How to Succeed in Business were fantastic!

bonus points for Lin-Manuel Miranda making the list twice (for In The Heights and Hamilton, 8 years apart)

"Along Came Bialy" has a very special place in my heart because I got to be in a local production of "The Producers" in 2008. "Six" I love because I'm an uber Tudor history nerd!

Not having the performance when the Beetlejuice cast did “the whole being dead thing” is a crime

In The Heights is my favorite! Thought that night the energy was as good and rememberable as Rent. I will play that clip on repeat even today. Also loved Spamalot's "Find Your Grail".

Spring Awakening is my absolute favorite Broadway musical😊😊

You should have at least mentioned Beetlejuice in 2019

Wow oh my gosh I wish I could see these performances in person

Josh Groban is criminally underrated! He has already been nominated for several Tony Awards but other people won them. I don’t understand? At least he should have WON the Tony for Sweeney Todd!

This video made me very happy. I saw most of the shows from 2001-2009 on Broadway. Even Avenue Q. Nice memories.

25: Whoa, huge nostalgia. It’s been a long time when I saw American Idiot with my mom

The craziest thing about The Wild Party is that there was another show that debuted that same season also called The Wild Party based on the same source material. Both casts were full of insanely talented people.

No but I cried when they did the duets thing a few years ago and they did what you own

I love Wicked but tbh I’m happy that Avenue Q won. It was bold DEFINITELY pulling things that are shocking, and gotta give them that

The tap performance in ‘Anything Goes’ was amazing, I know it’s a cliche but the really don’t make them like that anymore! It takes a different kind of skill and talent and always entertains - nothing like 40 tappers all in sync!

Missing the OBC of Spamalot is my greatest regret.

Cmon now. Were you out of the room for the Paradise Square performance? Let it Burn?

Spring awakening was amazingly cool whn I saw it in Sf back in 2008!!!!

I feel that way about almost everything from Hairspray. The songs really succeed at selling the high-energy fun of the show and the colourful personalities of the characters, but they're not songs or performances very high in my rewatch list.

24: I was four years old when I saw Wicked in the Pantages. Saw it four times. I just love this musical but I find it ridiculous it lost to Avenue Q

How many times is Sutton mentioned here? It's crazy

Yorktown from Hamilton was amazing!!

Matthew and Nathan are the best Disney duo on the planet not only in the lion king but also in Broadway

This is the worst list Ms Mojo has ever compiled. They really just picked the most well known show out of every year even when that show did not give the best performance.

@neomercury4279

Part of the reason that the performance for Wicked wasn't top notch is because Idina was actually having an asthma attack while in the flight harness already and her rescue inhaler was either backstage or in her dressing room. The Orchestra was also a bit faster, so that definitely didn't help things along. You can actually hear Idina gasping for breath in the clip that they use to show her singing.

MsMojo coming in with the 🔥 choices!

2003 belonged to Brian Stokes Mitchell and his Don Quixote. To this day, I haven't forgotten that one.

Avenue Q deserved best musical, but yes the defying gravity Tony performance is iconic

Everyone gets a mention for 2014 Tonys but not Idina Menzel's performance of "Always Starting Over?" It brought the house down and I think Hugh Jackman would agree!

Hamilton will always be my all time favorite along with Dear Evan Hansen in second

How could you say that the Hamilton tonys performance was better than the deaf spring awakening one?!?!

Great Comet is SOOO much better than Dear Evan Hansen in every way. it should’ve won best musical

wow, thanks for bring the ONCE performance back to me. i was obsessed with this back in the day
