Wow! This a great list compiled.
Some additional resources (and thoughts):
- The Drama Desk Awards also have a category for best book of a musical and they include off-Broadway shows (like Daddy Long Legs which beat Waitress for best book of a musical in 2016).
- Check out musicals that got awards on the West-end
- According to the Broadway producer Jack Viertel, the bench scene from Carousel is "arguably the most perfect scene ever written in a musical". His book The Secret Life of the American Musical is fantastic and provides a lot of insight into story structure.
