Perfection

2 numbers immediately came to mind...
-Put On Your Sunday Clothes from Hello, Dolly!
-Solidarity from Billy Elliot

---

The end of act 1 in Dreamgirls as originally staged. It’s All Over leading into And I Am Telling You leading into Love, Love Me Baby.

These are the ones that came to mind and for which I feel strongly meet the subject. All of these refer to the original productions:

— A Weekend in the Country from A Little Night Music
— One More Day and the finale from Les Mis
— A New Argentina from Evita
— The title number from Phantom of the Opera
— Put on Your Sunday Clothes and the title song from Hello Dolly
— The title number from Ragtime
— The Girls Upstairs, Lucy and Jessie, Who’s That Woman from Follies
— A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd
— The last 15 minutes of Nine
— Rose’s Turn (Lansbury)
— Mame and Bosom Buddies from Mame
— Betrayed from The Producers
— The Overture To South Pacific by LCT
— And I Am Telling You and Step Into the Bad Side from Dreamgirls
— The Circle of Life from The Lion King (downhill from there IMO) I
— As if We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Blvd
— The title song and finale to Man of La Mancha
— Is Anybody There? and the finale from 1776
— Ice Cream and the title song from She Loves Me
— All That Jazz, Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag and Class from Chicago
— The scene leading up to Sylvia’s death in Finding Neverland
— Always Mademoiselle from Coco (staged by Michael Bennett)
— The opening Number of Titanic (downhill from there IMO)


I find it hard to single anything specific from Hamilton. If forced to, The Battle of Yorktown and Jefferson’s What Did I Miss?, at least with Daveed Diggs
