Showstopper
A song or performance so electrifying that the audience erupts in extended applause, effectively stopping the show. True showstoppers are rare and magical—the energy in the theatre shifts, and the audience cannot contain its response. Classic showstoppers include "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls, "The Room Where It Happens" from Hamilton, and "Don't Rain on My Parade" from Funny Girl.
