My Favorite . . . Broadway Musical Dance Numbers!

No Broadway musical is without a show-stopping dance number. Here are some of my favorites! Check them out and let me know what you think.

 

5. Be Our Guest – Beauty and the Beast
This is just such a fun number! It is impossible not to smile while watching. Also, it’s Disney, so what could be better?!

4. Too Darn Hot – Kiss Me Kate
I have a hard time picking whether I like the original performance better or the revival performance. Give both a watch! I’m impressed by the two different interpretations of the same song.

3. Brotherhood of Man – How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
This number has a bunch of dancing businessmen, a high soprano, and Daniel Radcliffe himself. What’s not to love?! This dance number leaves you feeling all warm inside as the company sings and dances to the idea of brotherhood.

2. Once and For All / Seize the Day – Newsies
No list of Broadway musical dance numbers is complete without a performance from Newsies! I could watch these actors dance everyday for the rest of my life!

1. Anything Goes – Anything Goes
I have such a soft spot for giant tap dance numbers, so of course this is number one on my list! I just love the sounds of an entire company with clear taps.

So, what do you think? Do you agree? Have any other Broadway musical dance numbers to recommend? Comment below!
