Hard to say. Everyone has different tastes, so what's good for Sum might not be good for Jose', and so on.

My picks:

INTO THE WOODS (Original Cast Recording)
CAROLINE OR CHANGE
FOLLIES (In Concert)

These are based not just on show, but on complete package.

um this is hard - at this particular point in my life I'd have to say The Last 5 Years, Myths and Hymns, and Falsettoland

"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.

Definately Les Miz, and definately Rent. The third spot could go to any musical, but I'm thinking Wicked (two words: Defying Gravity). :P

But now we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then, when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me.
