Iconic characters/songs/scenes from broadway...
While I was watching Les Miserables yesterday I got to thinking about iconic characters on broadway. then I got to thinking about iconic songs and scenes from broadway.
I thought it would be interesting to read what other people feel are iconic to them, as it truly is a matter of perspective.
Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head, but I also am basing this off the musicals/plays that I have actually seen.
Iconic Characters:
1. The Phantom
2. Jean Valjean
3. Javert
4. Elphaba
Iconic Songs:
1. I Dreamed a Dream
2. On My Own
3. The Phantom of the Opera
4. Memory
Iconic Scenes:
1. All I Ask of You reprise
When I saw Phantom the first time I was shocked when the Phantom came down and began singing. I cried like a big old baby and to this day, his reprise always clutches at my heart (probably because I'm not a Rauol fan by ANY stretch of the imagination).
2. The ending of Wicked
Totally didn't see it coming with Fiyero knocking on the stage and Elphaba coming up having "faked" her death.
