Top 10 Hardest Modern Broadway Songs To Sing

You want everyone to watch a 17 minute video of songs you don’t know to satisfy your idle curiosity? Watch the video and give us a list, you lazy lumox.

Just keep getting a repeating Ghostbed commercial.

All written by Stephen Sondheim?

Oh, do move along R1....so sorry to suck the air out of your humorless existence

OP, I would not be so vitriolic as r1, but he's right: it's really obnoxious of you not to name the songs in your post, seeing the clip is 17 minutes long.

Boo, OP! Boo!!!!

I might add that OP directed his request to the vacuous “Theater Queens” out there.

Why should that influence anything, r7? He still should have listed the ten songs.

[quote]Top 10 Hardest Modern Broadway Songs To Sing Do you agree?

How the fuck would I know - where's the list? Where. Is. The. Fucking. List.

10. "Confrontation" - Jekyll & Hyde

9. "Words Fail" - Dear Evan Hansen

8. "Your Fault" - Into the Woods

7. "Memory" - Cats

6. "I'm Here" - The Color Purple

5. "Satisfied" - Hamilton

4. "Bring Him Home" - Les Miserables

3. "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" - Dreamgirls

2. "The Phantom of the Opera" - The Phantom of the Opera

1. "Defying Gravity" - Wicked

Honorable Mention: "El Tango de Roxanne" - Moulin Rouge; "So Much Better" - Legally Blonde; "Finishing the Hat" - Sunday in the Park with George; "She Used to Be Mine" - Waitress; "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" - Rent

Coronet Man - Funny Girl

You guys, girls included, are right. I should have listed the songs. Thank you R10 for your labor. I guess I was thinking seeing the songs in action, and hearing the VO would emphasize why these tunes are so difficult to sing. So it's either my bad or my good, depending on where you want to come from.

All the songs from " Funny Girl."

What's hard about the top three on the list? They're very melodic, don't cover a particularly large vocal range and only require a strong voice. Same with Memory, although it's so tedious you might run the risk of falling asleep singing it.

Glitter and be Gay is a hard song to sing.

"Getting Married Today" from "Company" should be on this list, in the top three.

You betcha, R15.

Hard to sing? For whom? I had no problem singing any of those.

But the World Goesh Round - I always screw up the ending!

The songs were all chosen from post-1980 musicals, hence no "Glitter and Be Gay" or "Getting Married Today" R14 and R15.

Also, it's not only about the notes or the vocal range required. They often consider a song difficult or challenging if it requires a high degree of emotional connection or, in the case of "Your Fault" or "Satisfied", an intricate construction.

I will cut you!

(And oh, dear.)

R17 = Beanie.
