Shalom! Welcome to this special Sunday issue of MARQUEE! Iâm thrilled to share one of my most ambitious videos yet - a deep dive into Broadway history through the lens of every Best Musical winnerâs signature showstopper, starting from 1949âs Kiss Me, Kate. So sit back, sing along, and enjoy the parade of iconic Broadway moments!
Do you agree with my picks? Would you choose different showstoppers to represent these musicals? Or did the list tickle your fancy? Comment below.

I would have loved performances from the OBC that won the Tony
Wow! What an accomplishment -- you must have put hours into this video, and it shows. I agree with many of your choices, but not all. For example, I would have picked Tradition for Fiddler on the Roof. I think it better encapsulates the theme of trying to maintain traditions while faced with modernity (I was unable to attend your class on Fiddler, but I'm sure this came up). I, unfortunately, don't have time right now to go through all the changes I'd make, but I do feel you got most of the song choices right. Bravo on abjob well done!
