For most of us, it’s been nearly a month — or more — since we last saw a live musical on Broadway, and there’s no telling when the Great White Way will be ready to turn its lights back on. To satisfy our cravings, many of us have turned to YouTube to find original cast recordings, videos from the stars who originated these shows’ songs, and other cover versions. But here are 15 videos featuring some of the greatest tunes from that musical on the boards on March 12 that you may not have found. Give a listen (and then look for more!)
