 THE

TOP 100 SONGS

FROM

 MUSICALS

🎭

From New York’s Broadway and London’s West End to stages across the globe, musicals have attracted audiences flocking to catch the classics and the innovative. Caffè Lattè has compiled a list of 100 of the best songs from stage shows. These are all songs created specifically for the stage productions and not theatrical versions of movies or jukebox musicals (eg. “The Lion King”, “Saturday Night Fever” or “Mamma Mia!” and “Jersey Boys”). They’ve touched us or made us cry and some have had us up on our feet dancing in the aisles.
