Before I go to bed, I wanted to share my Top Five Musical Performances with you. Please enjoy.

First, Ms. Ruthie Henshall performs "I Want More" from Stephen Sondheim's "Putting It Together". This is hands down, my favorite peformance.




Next, "Fiddler on the Roof" from the Tony Awards. This cast just has so much energy and focus, it gives me the chills.



Okay, I have NEVER seen "Les Miserables" before, but this mini-medley is just so intensely done, and I just love the visual effect at the end where they are marching. It's just cool to me.




I love Linda Eder's performance in this version of "Man of La Mancha". It's taken from "Broadway: The Leading Ladies" and she just kills it. She has such panache and I really enjoy this strong performance.



Last but not least, my most favorite Sondheim tune, "Not Getting Married". I first heard Carol Burnett perform it in "Putting It Together", but I fell in love with Madeline Kahn's version.



Okay, bonus video. This is not one particular musical, but you will see many musicals in it. I just love the song and it's hard not to tap your feet to it.
