Triumph of Love. It's not overly-wonderful, but it's really cute and not well known.

Bat Boy.

Alright, so maybe I'm pushing Bat Boy integration just a tad too much.

Side Show has some very lovely music, but I've never seen the show

the best ones I know are Warner's MOSES (which is stunning) and MOTHERLAND which is a sort of sci-fi (but not cheesy) Revolutionary musicthat inspired the Matrix im sure

I gotta go with Violet on this one.

I'll concur with Myths and Hymns, BatBoy, Jon & Jen, Mystery of Edwin Drood and Side Show as well.

Does Piece count? :)

Yes. I have bits and pieces of these. They are absolutely stunning. I wanted to stage an Australian production with my company, Radical Wizardry. I feel (personally) some of the greatest lost musicals are Black and Barry's Alice in Wonderland and Fox and Steinman's The Confidence Man - which is a very melodic, majestic Brechtian musical in the style of Show Boat and Threepenny Opera. I'd strongly recommend it. Also: anything by Steinman (i.e. a musical version of Wagner's Rhinegold, lol) and anything by Warner - absolutely sensational! His stuff is like a cross between Steinman and Gore (the guy who wrote the Fame song and Carrie). It's camp and gothic and gorgeous :)

Bat Boy, though it occurs to me after reading all this that it is pretty well known. Also Starting Here, Starting Now.

I absolutely ADORE Zanna, Don't!

I adore Zombie Prom! I know it's rather cheesy and whatnot, but I love it, I really do.

This thread made me feel really dumb...even though I have over 200 Broadway CDs...I haven't heard of half of these- and I couldn't think of any not-so-well known shows (besides some of the things people are saying like Parade, Side Show,Zanna Don't...and some others)

Jeez...I really need to get some of this stuff.

Meanwhile...I'm singing a song from Romance, Romance and I love it...so if that counts for anything...

The Last Five Years
Listen To My Heart- Songs of David Friedman
Zanna Don't- (Tim got a Drama Desk nomination so it is well known but i loved it)
Secret's Every Smart Traveller Should Know
Violet- Gorgeous score. Want to see a full production.

THE GRASS HARP--indisputably and forever. Just wonderful. And with Barbara Cook, Karen Morrow, and Carol Brice--who could ask for more? Oh, maybe the cutie Russ Thacker. Eternal thanks to the great Claibe Richardson and Kenward Elmslie for writing this stupendous score.

I saw a cute little production of GRASS HARP in L.A. some years back starring Susan Watson (Bye Bye Birdie) and Candy Brown (Pippin). Susan Watson still looked sixteen.

I can't figure out how well-known Hedwig and the Angry Inch is. I saw a production in Cambridge, MA this fall and then I learned that a whole lot of people are fans of it. If it is obscure, though, it's my fave.

jarred03, All In The Timing is AWESOME-- I was in "Philip Glass..." this summer.
