I consider CAROLINE, OR CHANGE to be THE best new Broadway musical of the past 10 years. With THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, GREY GARDENS, URINETOWN, THE WILD PARTY, and RAGTIME being runner-ups.
Munk's list is pretty neat, though I wouldn't agree with a couple choices, I'd say it's a good comprehensive list.

The Light in the Piazza is definitely high on my list.
