Best ensemble tracks?

Which ensemble tracks do you think showcase the performer the best?

Because I saw it pretty recently and it’s STILL in my mind. The Violetta track in Pretty Woman has got to be my favorite. That role really got me to love and appreciate that character/actor more than the leads.

The Bullet in Hamilton is a pretty prominent one.

So much of the time, it's not really the track and more about the actor in it. Like different ensemble members stand out not because of their tracks, but because they have great presence.

I love this topic!

I think as a whole the ensemble in The Great Comet is showcased very well. 

But currently, I think Beautiful showcases their ensemble the best of any show, almost every ensemble member, except the Betty track (I think), has their own song, or at least a decent solo in a song.

Also, I think the Queen Iduna track in Frozen and the Jose Fajardo track in On Your Feet are great ones!

I always loved the Robin track in Something Rotten. Stuck out for obvious reason, and really made the actor in the role shine.

Jai'en Josey from Spongebob Squarepants plays Pearl Krabs along with an ensemble track. She's stunning in both, and her voice is amazing! She's only 19 years old.

Also in Spongebob, there's a guy who does a handstand on two skateboards during the song Bikini Bottom Boogie. Pretty impressive if you ask me

Okay. But one stunt does not a “best track” make.
