Although this is a resurrected thread, I did not comment on it the first time it was highly active. The title BEST MUSICAL has such a subjective connotation by nature, so my list is mostly a combination of personal favorites in addition to shows that I believe to be ideal to the artform.

SHOW BOAT
PORGY AND BESS
OKLAHOMA!
GUYS AND DOLLS
MY FAIR LADY
WEST SIDE STORY
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
CHICAGO
A CHORUS LINE
SWEENEY TODD
DREAMGIRLS
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
LES MISERABLES
RAGTIME
CAROLINE, OR CHANGE

With 57 years of theatre-going in NYC under my belt, it's a pretty difficult question. I'd say it's a tie between MY FAIR LADY, WEST SIDE STORY, GYPSY and A CHORUS LINE...all are the original productions.

Definitely Les Miz.
