In just a few weeks, on June 12, theatre fanatics around the world will be sitting in front of their televisions watching the 70th annual Tony Awards. The Tony Awards are every theater kids favorite night, so as we countdown the days, I decided to tell you my top 12 favorite Tony performances ever (in no particular order).

1. "The Circle of Life" performed by the cast of The Lion King (1998)

The vocals, choreography, costumes - this number is absolutely unreal. Press play and watch the goosebumps appear and tears form because of this pure beauty.

2. "Hair" performed by the revival cast of HAIR (2009)

Two words: audience participation! For real though, this number is a total jam and so much fun, I dare you to tell me you didn't smile/feel totally invigorated with love and joy while watching this performance.

3. "I Believe" performed by Andrew Rannells from the Book of Mormon (2011)

Andrew (and every other Elder Price) gives it their all during this number and not only are they on top of their singing game but making the audience laugh constantly.

4. "96,000" performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights (2008)

Baby LMM makes my heart explode.

5. "Anything Goes" performed by Sutton Foster and the revival cast of Anything Goes (2011)

Sutton Foster: singer, actress, incredible tap dancer who can tap for forever and go back to sing like she barely even moved.

6. "I Hope I Get It" performed by the cast of A Chorus Line (1976)

This dancing!

7. "Seasons of Love/La Vie Boheme" performed by the cast of Rent (1996)

Does there even need to be any explanation for this one?

8. Mama Who Bore Me/Bitch of Living/Totally F***ed performed by the cast of Spring Awakening (2007)

*chants* Teen angst teen angst teen angst!! This show is near and dear to my heart so obviously it had to make the cut. And besides, who doesn't love little Lea Michele/Jonathan Groff and the censored silence for the F word in TF?

9. "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" performed by Jennifer Holliday and the cast of Dreamgirls (1982)

Once again, no need to explain. Just listen.

10. "Sugar Daddy" performed by Neil Patrick Harris from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2014)

This is really just NPH's world and we are all living in it. This man can do anything - I become awestruck every single time I watch this.

11. "Friend Like Me" performed by the cast of Aladdin (2014)

James Monroe Iglehart serving you Genie realness in this number, absolutely incredible.

12. "Ring of Keys" performed by Sydney Lucas from Fun Home (2015)

Sydney Lucas demonstrating top notch vocals as well as mature, emotion ridden acting during this number -- at 11 years old.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
