I was listening to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Cast Recording, and the dance break music during "The More We Dance" came on, and it had me thinking about all the amazing dance breaks in songs and on Broadway in general.
So, I was wondering, what are some of YOUR favorite dance breaks in a song/show?
Mine is a tie between:
The More We Dance from DRS
or Dancing Through Life from Wicked.
There are many, many others but what are some of yours?
