I have led a sheltered life. Only ones I can think of that I've seen on Broadway, not strictly inclusive of musicals, with andecdotal notes added for free:
Annie, 1980, Alvin Theatre (had to look the theatre up on IBDB; year's easy ... saw it during my honeymoon; I fainted - literally - in the lobby while waiting to go inside. Hubby loves to tell it: "she fainted during our honeymoon," ya know, like he'd worn me out ... may have been part of it, but the fact it was a hot May night and we were standing a long time in a crowded area with little air circulating had more to do with it.)
Barrymore, 1997, Music Box Theatre (had to look up year & theatre, but remember sitting with my friend, front row center and getting sprayed with Christopher Plummer's spit a lot, not that it wasn't an honor, lol)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, March 3, 2005, Imperial (my memory isn't that bad, lol, and if I do forget this, I need to be shot, honestly!)
I do believe that's it. Can't remember any others.
What played at the Henry Millers before Urinetown? Also, anyone have any pictures of the marquees for Full Monty or jekyll & hyde, or taboo just to name a few? I love seeing marquees for some reason.

Plymouth...I saw two shows there....forgot which ones though..
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

My mother always used to say, "The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana." - Rose Nyland
I saw more than the shows I listed..I thought we were only putting the theatres where we saw more than one show at?
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
