I'd say "The Winner Takes It All" instead of "Does Your Mother Know" for MAMMA MIA.
"You Can't Stop the Beat" for HAIRSPRAY and "Let It Go" for THE FULL MONTY.

I think "Taboo" would be either "Petrified" or "Out of Fashion".

The Full Monty - Let it Go is not an 11 o'clock number
Mamma Mia(!) - The Winner Takes it All
Urinetown - Usually thought to be Run Freedom Run...though it's not in the traditional 11 0'clock sense.
The Boy From Oz - Once Before I Go

Defying Gravity is not the 11o'clock number No Good Deed is!

Guys, the reason it is called an 11 o'clock number is because it is near the end of the show, but not at it. You Can't Stop the beat from hairspray is the finale of the show, not the 11 o'clock number. i even think in review they noted I Know Where I've been as it.

Thank You thesbijean there for No Good Deed would be in the case of wicked not Defying Gravity which comes before intermission

Urinetown's is either Run, Freedom, Run or Tell Her I Love Her, which I would lean more towards because it's the "revelation" of the show, in a manner of speaking.

is that really the meaning about 11 oclock numbers?

#19

It's a number toward the end of the show that usually comes right before the finale. Most of the time it's a "revelation" for the characters.

isn't hairspray's either "i know where i've been" or the reprise of "good morning baltimore"?

It's "I Know Where I've Been."

And "Not the Boy Next Door" was certainly not the 11'Clock number in the show (it was the ACT 1 finale). I think if you're going to dispute this on BFO, "I Still Call Australia Home" and "Once Before I Go" were very much the same in their emotional level.

'Run, Freedom Run' happens WAY too early in the show for it to be the 11 O'clock number. And 'Tell Her I Love Her' is also not the 11 o'clock number...waaaaaaay too tepid (musically...it's a riot, of course).

I would have to see 'We're Not Sorry' is.

Shows used to begin at 8:30, instead of 8. Writer's would put in a number to give the show a jolt as it headed to the homestretch and that number would fall around 11pm. Hence the name.

I believe that an 11 o'clock number is a number in act two and revives the audience's interest in the show. It's usually near the beginning of the second act and is a big showstopper. For example, the 11 o'clock number from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is definitely "Suddenly, Seymour". So if the song is the last one in the show, it is not an 11 o'clock number.

According to bea arthur the 11 oclock number comes late in the second act and has a revelation and pulls the show together. Usually being one of the last few (but never the last song) of a show.
