1* Eileen telling her investors they are fired.
2* All of the musical numbers, but particularly...
3** "Let Me Be Your Star" in the Pilot. Probably the most thrilling moment in the series.
4** "Let's be Bad" from the episode of the same name. As Marc Shaiman, composer of the number, said...
5---> "Note to songwriters: always have Megan Hilty and choreographer Josh Bergasse take your song and fly with it. As we filmed this number at a theatre on Staten Island we realized we were watching a number from a made-up musical, which was a song inspired by an actual movie, being performed in a real theatre while being filmed for a TV show. I think my head exploded shortly after having that thought."
6** "A Thousand and One Nights" from "Publicity." To explain, it is a musical number where Dev and Karen are hashing out their relationship problems ([[MusicalWorldHypotheses it's all in Karen's head, unfortunately]]) but also [[MassiveMultiplayerEnsembleNumber ties in the relationship drama of all the other characters in the show.]] What makes it unbelievably awesome is that the whole thing is an elaborately choreographed, gorgeously costumed, sumptuously shot UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} [[http://www.nbc.com/smash/video/a-thousand-and-one-nights/1397821 number.]]
