As always, these are in constant fluctuation:
1. Les Miserables
2. Rent
3. Sweeney Todd; The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
4. The Last Five Years
5. Cabaret
6. The Producers
7. Caroline, Or Change
8. Into The Woods
9. Chicago
9.5. Aida
10.Avenue Q
And I have to mention "Hairspray", because though I havn't seen it (soon...soon), I LOVE the score. And there are so many more that, just because they don't make my list now, doesn't mean they won't next week.

I haven't even seen 10 musicals. Ones I haven't seen are marked with an (*), and my judgements are based on the music, live performances and my general knowledge of the show. Now, in no specific order:
1) Thoroughly Modern Millie
2) Hairspray *
3) 42nd Street
4) Wicked
5) Phantom of the Opera
6) Oklahoma!
7) The Producers * (hope to see the tour!) 
Urinetown
No answer for 9 and 10.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
