I lost interest after "Is there even one genuinely good song in Phantom?".

I would have put "Franklin Shepard Inc." over "Good Thing Going" in Merrily We Roll Along, and included "I'm Here" from The Color Purple, "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress, and either "You Will Be Found" or "For Forever" from Dear Evan Hansen.

Considering that it's been running on Broadway for 29 of those 40 years, I think it's silly that they couldn't acknowledge it with one slot. "Music of the Night" or "All I Ask of You" could certainly be on that list.

It's just the same old tired Andrew Lloyd Webber snarky-hate that self-important "critics" trot out at every opportunity.
