Children in Need is always a magical night and 2017 was no exception. This year, the cast of Eastenders went big with this spectaular mashup of musical theatre faves set in and around Albert Square. From Les Mis to Mary Poppins, it was all in there, and we have to say, those actors can sure hold a tune!

HAMILTON creator Lin-Manuel Miranda joined James Corden for his latest "Crosswalk Musical" segment to spread the love and hippy vibes of HAIR.

James Corden's "Crosswalk Musical" segment continues with a British classic...MARY POPPINS and this one actually took place in London.

We wouldn't be true Musical Theatre fans if we didn't love a good parody. This week we can't get enough of this video by Christina Wolfgram which sums up LES MISERABLES better than anything we've ever seen before! So take three minutes out of your busy schedule and laugh along with these funny women as they poke fun out of our fave musical...

They've always been our favourite furry friends, but The Muppets have taken a dark turn in this video which casts each lovable goofball as a character in SWEENEY TODD.

Here at StageFaves we LOVE to geek out about our favourite musicals and if there's one thing we know from office rants (our editor is constantly listing the reasons WICKED is one of the the greatest shows ever...) and heated musical theatre-themed debates it's that everyone has their own opinions on what shows are the best, the most underrated, or just plain unlistenable! We've compiled our #TopFive videos...of Top 5 lists!

We've found our new StageFave! Eleven-year-old Luke Chacko became a YouTube sensation when he was filmed flawlessly belting out the famous Frozen song "Let It Go" in front of Elsa herself, Idina Menzel on one of her recent tour dates. The video quickly went viral and he was soon asked to appear on The Ellen Show where he spoke about his love for singing and how that has meant he often gets bullied in school. What he didn't know was that Idina was waiting backstage to surprise him live in front of The Ellen Show studio audience...

The worldwide smash hit musical MATILDA is still going strong and a new class of revolting children have now been announced.

The third instalment of James Corden's "Crosswalk Musical" segment is another long-running West End classic THE LION KING.

Try saying that ten times at speed! The cast of the THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK paid a visit to the world famous Cutty Sark recently in search of that ever-absent snark! What followed was a series of fast-paced frolicks, silly searching and lack of good reading skills! Watch the full video below...

We all have our personal preferences, but there are a few traits all Musical Theatre nerds share. Whether it's arguing over who gets to sing lead in the car or spending most of our paycheques on tickets to see our favourite stars live onstage, we relate to a LOT of what this video has to say, and as if the concept it wasn't awesome enough, the geekery is sung as a musical number! Seriously...this may be the best video on the internet right now...

He already brought us GREASE but now it's time for a West End staple.
