** [[Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh A recent fan remake of OUAS]], however, shows an even more epic and grandiose rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star," this time initiated by WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]], with Raps starting the song off on her guitar, and Cinderella singing the first two lines "When you wish upon a star/Makes no difference who you are", before handing over to [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle and the Beast]]. This version steadily gains momentum as more and more characters join in, and again, begin to step in to fix Goofy's earlier mistake. It eventually reaches an even more brilliant climax as everyone proudly sings the entire final verse as a unified chorus, before Cinderella and Charming, Rapunzel and Eugene and [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and Jasmine]] [[RepriseMedley sing their own fantastic duets of their own signature tunes, before everyone triumphantly joins in once more for the line "Your dreams come true!", as the photo is finally created. The orchestration this time round is even fuller, and is Music/JohnWilliams-esque, allowing it to go out with an even bigger bang.

*** The EpicRocking song of "Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts," which brilliantly sets up the AlternateCharacterInterpretation, humor, and some plots. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are returning to Hogwarts, Harry meets Ginny who instantly falls for him but he's interested in Cho, who is dating Cedric. Malfoy arrives and teases them and reveals his motive of finally beating Harry. The gang all gather and ride the Hoqwarts express to Hogwarts where they are greeted by Dumbledore. And all in all there's a general agreement that this year's going to be totally awesome. And this is all just the opening number.

* The Tony-winning Broadway musical ''Theatre/InTheHeights'' has two examples of this: "96,000," the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic major production number in the show]], comes when somebody on Usnavi's barrio buys a winning lottery ticket, and everyone has their own way they would spend those earnings. Another comes in the first act closer, "Blackout," when, [[spoiler:suddenly, the power goes out in Washington Heights, and the barrio is separated in the insanity]]. Yet another example of the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.

* In the stage musical adaptation of Disney's ''Theatre/TheLittleMermaid'', there's "If Only", which begins with Ariel wishing Eric would be able to know she's the same girl who rescued him from drowning, then segues into Eric expressing how he finds Ariel mysteriously familiar. Sebastian, hoping he can rectify the matter and finally Triton wondering where his daughter has disappeared to round out the number.

* Parodied on ''Key & Peele'' with "One At A Time", their homage to ''Les Miserables''. It starts as "The Confrontation" then "I Dreamed A Dream" shows up and finally "One Day More". Keegan Michael Keye's character Legateoux has no idea why they have to all sing their own songs at the same time.

Frequently overlaps with TheSongBeforeTheStorm, which refers to any large-scale songs about an upcoming confrontation.

-->-- '''Company''', ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1GwEkQ5Sro No One Else is Singing My Song]]"

* "One Day More" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', has all of the main characters planning for the coming insurrection--Jean Valjean plans to take his adopted daughter Cosette away from France to keep them from being discovered, Cosette and her boyfriend Marius despair of ever seeing each other again, [[DespairEventHorizon Marius takes Cosette's leaving as a final sign]] [[SuicideMission that he needs to join the students on the barricade]], [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Eponine pines for Marius]], [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Enjolras and the students look forward to taking on]] TheMan, Javert announces his plan to spy on the students, and the Thenardiers look forward to [[RobbingTheDead rich pickings from the bodies of the dead]], all in one four-minute musical number.

A common trope in musical theater, a song (often one that ends the first act) that sums up the attitudes of all of the main characters toward some upcoming event or towards something that happened earlier by having them singing all at once, with counterpoint for all.

Usually either a RepriseMedley or a CrowdSong, and often a {{Showstopper}}. In musical theater, this is especially common in Act 1 Finales. This can also be referred to as an "all-skate."

** "Stick to the Status Quo". Three major East High cliques, the jocks/cheerleaders, the geeks/nerds, and the stoners all discuss their HiddenDepths. Taylor tries to convince Gabriella not to go to the callback for the school play. Sharpay and Ryan vow to keep Gabriella from infiltrating the school musical (and Troy's heart).

* [[BetterThanABareBulb Lampshaded]] in "La Resistance" from ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' (a pastiche of "One Day More" from ''Les Mis'').

* "Some Things Never Change" from ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'' has Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf reflect on the events of the [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 first film]] and how they've been moving forward since.

* [[BetterThanABareBulb Lampshaded]] in "La Resistance" from ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' (a pastiche of "One Day More" from ''Les Mis'').

* ''Film/WestSideStory'' - The reprise of ''Tonight'', featuring Tony, Maria, Anita, the Sharks, and the Jets.

* The Franchise/EvilliousChronicles has two. Fittingly, they're both part of the same series:

Usually either a RepriseMedley or a CrowdSong, and often a {{Showstopper}}. In musical theater, this is especially common in Act 1 Finales.
