Depends on what you consider "best"
Sunset Boulevard for eye popping opulence and star wattage
Rent for reaching out to a younger audience
I'll think of others later

Posted: 12/19/04 at 11:27pmDo you mean shows that opened in the '90s? I'd say Rent, but I wish I'd seen Angels In America on stage as well.

Posted: 12/20/04 at 12:26amIt depends how you define 'best,' but RENT certainly deserves mention.

Amen to the revivals of "Cabaret" and "Chicago"! I wish "Cabaret" was still going strong like "Chicago" but, great shows that opened in the '90's.

THE CIVIL WAR!
jk i wish
I'd say SUNSET BOULEVARD and RENT.
#13re: Best Show of The 90's
Posted: 12/20/04 at 1:11amI agree with all of what is mentioned, but I have to say The Lion King. It's not the best show of the 90's, but it deserves to be mentioned just because of the way it looks, and defying people that thought it couldnt not be done.
#14re: Best Show of The 90's
Posted: 12/20/04 at 1:23am"Angels In America" was by far the best show of the 90's.
#15re: Best Show of The 90's
Posted: 12/20/04 at 2:10amHere's one from each category: Angels in America and Ragtime.

Someone said Big. No no no...
RENT had the most affect on the theatre-going community, as it lowered the age of the average ticket-buyer and it employed the $20 rush seats.
Ragtime was artistically quite an accomplishment and is very fulfilling as a big Broadway show.
The Lion King did a wonderful job reimagining a classic movie in a way that related well to stage, and brought in new technical areas to theatre.
City of Angels was one of Cy Coleman's last works, and was truly an original work.
Once on this Island was by far the most beautiful show on the 90's, and is one of the great "small cast" shows. It also brought us La Chanze.

Posted: 12/20/04 at 5:35amtotally Angels in America. Margo is once again quick to chime in brilliantly. 20 years from now, it will be considered one of the top 5 most important plays in the 20th century. In fact, it may already be thrown into consideration for that prize alongside Long Day's Journey in Night, Death of a Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, and...well the other one deserves a good quarrel/discussion.
