"and erm I dunno I guess you could say Lion King because it's been doing so well and it was the first Disney musical on Bway"

Actually Beauty and the Beast is the first Disney musical on broadway.

For all the same reasons as tlk, I'd say Beauty and the Beast. Plus it brought families together and allowed them to enjoy theatre.

New Musical Experience: Rent
Underappreciated Musical Experience: Big
Best Musical Experience: Cabaret
Best Play Experience: Angels in America Parts 1 & 2
Best Show of the entire decade: Angels in America Parts 1 & 2

I like to be specific when I name my choices for these things.

Rent hands down! BUt yagmcb and cabaret were also amazing. I also loved the lion king but than again it was one of my favortite movies when i was little. As for plays, the vagina monelogues i found entertaining. However i didn't see many plays in the nineties.

[bronxboundexpress]

Posted: 12/20/04 at 2:16pm

Oh, yeah. Add THE WHO'S TOMMY to my list.

THE WHO'S TOMMY
SUNSET BOULEVARD
RENT

are the best shows from the 90s.

Big should NOT be on this list. Neither should Steel Pier or Sunset Boulevard. Gross.

[TimesSquareRegular]

Three terrific musicals, probably the best of the 90's:

RENT
SIDE SHOW
KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN

[Mother's Younger Brother]

Posted: 12/20/04 at 3:27pm

Two words:

RAG.

TIME.

Posted: 12/20/04 at 4:41pm

Yeah, I would have to say that Passion, Parade, City of Angels, and Once On This Island are right up towards the top of my list as well, but Ragtime just really takes the cake.

[Sondheimman132]

Posted: 12/20/04 at 4:55pm

Best musicals:
PASSION
SIDE SHOW
RAGTIME
CITY OF ANGELS

PLAYS:
ANGELS IN AMERICA

REVIVALS:
FOLLIES
COMPANY
CHICAGO

PUTTING IT TOGETHER also gets an honorable mention because it was just awesome how Sondheim put his songs together to make a review with a plot. What can I say? The man's a genius.

My vote goes to rent wholeheartedley

[Sondheimman132]

Posted: 12/20/04 at 5:15pm

Adding a section:
Off-Broadway:
The two best off-bway shows of the 90's are:
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
and
ZOMBIE PROM

ZOMBIE PROM is way underapprieciated, but it is pure fun when watching and listening to. C'mon everybody, you know it's awesome.

RAGTIME is far and out the best musical of the 1990's. RENT would be a distant second. Best play = Angels in America.

[zippyjen]

Posted: 12/20/04 at 6:05pm

i have to agree with sondheimman132 about hedwig. Man does that show rock! but rent is still my favorite!

For me (obviously, everyone has a different idea of what was the best), I would have to say that the best musical was easily RENT, though I think Lion King deserves an honorable mention(I LOVED that movie when I was little, and I thought the play was really, really well done... the only problem with the musical is that no one has a voice like Nathan Lane's, so no live Timon could ever possibly hope to satisfy me). I wouldn't put Sunset Boulevard on that list, though it is one of my favorite AWL shows. The best play is definately Angels in America... I think. I've never actually seen it, unforetunately. *is sad* I MUST SEE IT!

Best Musical...well, there isn't just one, but there's Rent, Ragtime, Assassins (I can't believe you forgot about it), and Passion. Best Play - Angels In America. Duh!

"Best" and "Big: The Musical" are words that I never want to see contained within the same sentence, ever again.

Kiss of the Spider Woman YES! I forgot about this one :)

Miss Saigon without a doubt and RENT. Les Miserables was great too, but I liked Miss Saigon more. The Cabaret Revival was really good too!
