They seem to have...forgotten Great Comet, The Color Purple, etc.
Yet they remembered In Transit.

One of the few things on the list that makes sense.

I think they thought it was gonna turn into another DEH argument, of which there have been quite enough.

I would have posted the same thing if Babe_Williams had named any other show except for Hamilton as I think Next to Normal is the second best musical of the 21st century.
Sometimes these arguments are caused by people being unable to hear anything that isn't completely positive about something they like.

Some people don't seem to understand how this list works. The choices are based on lists that have already been added, so they grow as more people add new lists.

I'm surprised Bridges of Madison County not only isn't included, but hasn't been mentioned in this thread. It's on of, if not the, best scores of the 21st century
