We are so excited to watch the Tony Awards this weekend! There is nothing like a great Broadway musical number, and there have been so many over the decades. From classical Broadway hits to modern gems, we love to sing, dance, get sucked into YouTube rabbit holes, and get these tunes stuck in our heads. While it is difficult to narrow down just a few of these standout songs, we’ve collected our favorites from our Sheet Music Plus staff.
It Takes Two
from Into the Woods
A classic from Stephen Sondheim.
Seasons of Love
from Rent
An oldie, but a goodie that never gets old.
Wheels of a Dream
from Ragtime
A goosebump-inducing duet with Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
All That Jazz
from Chicago
One of the best opening numbers ever. Chita Rivera understands the assignment.
You’ll Be Back
from Hamilton
Is it bad to admit that the king is one of our favorite characters?
Circle of Life
from The Lion King
Such a powerful opening number. It’s hard to not get chills.
Tonight
from West Side Story
Sondheim and Bernstein crafted some of the most timeless love songs when they created West Side Story.
Wait for Me
from Hadestown
Who would think that ancient Greece would mix so well with New Orleans and soul music?
Springtime for Hitler
from The Producers
“It was outrageous, offensive, and insulting, and I enjoyed every minute.”
Bring Him Home
from Les Miserables
Colm Wilkinson’s performance of this song is a masterclass.
