Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Mama Who Bore Me" from Spring Awakening (Lea Michele and Cast)
Ulterior Motives: This Sunday May 31st at 7:30pm EST, Frank DiLella, of Spectrum News NY1's On Stage, will be hosting the 65th Annual Drama Desk Awards. Fans can watch on Spectrum News NY1 (local NYC television viewers), NY1.com and DramaDeskAwards.com.

We. Can't. Even. The awards celebrate the splendid performances on Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway this season. The event will also benefit The Actors Fund.
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: When thinking about the Drama Desk Awards, the first performance from their annual award shows that came to our minds was Spring Awakening's electric performance from 2007 led by Lea Michele. She is joined by her fellow original cast members Lauren Pritchard, Lilli Cooper, Phoebe Strole and Remy Zaken. Lea sounds beautiful on the beginning verses. When the uptempo version of the song begins, it's a whole other level! Our ultimate moment would have to be Lea belting out "go" at 1:35. They are all just belting to the heavens. Honorable mention for Lauren Pritchard dancing some Bill T. Jones choreo at 1:42.
