Episode 31 proved to be our most difficult countdown yet! Luckily, I\u2019ve teamed up with Michael Osborne to discuss this very subjective topic. Michael is currently appearing as Cosmo Brown in Rockdale Musical Society\u2019s Singin\u2019 in the Rain \u2013 which on its own contains four iconic dances. Let the countdown begin.

Worth a listen for that alone Other than a musical theatre upbringing what else do Paul and Michael have in common? More about Whimsical Productions It\u2019s been 12 years between drinks for Michael in his current role, how is it different this time? It took a specific criteria for Michael to help narrow this top 5 down! We love his well thought out countdown. Paul struggled too\u2026\u2026..lots of honourable mentions in this episode Does recent modern dance have that same ICONIC flavour of the old musicals F O S S E \u2013 say no more! Could you say, that all the opening and closing numbers have the BEST dance numbers? Who else loves the fly on the wall look at musical theatre that Chicago gives you? Will anyone say KICK LINE in this episode? West Side Story spoiler alert\u2026. someone dies! Gasp! Any dance performed&amp;nbsp;in stiletto boots has got to rate a mention! Which dance still rates in pop culture today? Paul sneaks in a 5b Is it even a musical without DANCE? Will the dance numbers from shows like Hamilton or Kinky Boots eventually rate on a Top 5 list at some stage in the future or will the old favourites stand the test of time when it comes to iconic dance numbers?
