Don't know which is THE best but here goes:

A CHORUS LINE

CATS

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

THE KING AND I

Oh yes. How could I forget about Once Upon a Mattress. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that title sounds a little too risque for a show based on The Princess and the Pea?

On A Clear Day is a much better title than the original title "I Picked A Daisy"

Well...I dont know a WHOLE bunch of musicals/plays...but my fave are:
1. A Chorus Line - Dont know...just always appealed to me
2. An Overpraised Season - Small one act most ppl have probably never heard of...but it's deep and by the end of the play you get its real meaning
3. Company - Had no idea why it was named Company until like the 3rd listen through lol :P


That's pretty much it :)

These titles are all great but none of them hold a candle to La, La, Lucille or Yes, Yes, Yvette. These are real titles!

I've always had a fondness for [title of show]

Parade, it is what it's kind of about and than it's not, but it is, it makes you think. Last line and first song in show has to do with title as well, Great Title

"Got Tu Go Disco"

Another Minskoff Theatre flop that only ran for 8 performances back in 1979.

"The Light in The Piazza" makes me think of Mike Piazza!

"High Spirits." It caught my attention the first time I heard it. Such a good show.

Also, I know it's not a musical, but I like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

I don't understand how titles such as "Cats" and "Avenue Q" are somehow thought provoking or really good and different. Cats is about cats and Avenue Q is where they live. Ah yes, profound as well.

I think that

Sunday in the Park With George
The Drowsy Chaperone

Are good titles for musicals.

As for plays I think that a lot of Shakespeare's titles are clever

Twelfth Night
As You Like it

"Carrie:The Musical!"

Only based on the fact that "Carrie" in general is so cultish and enigmatic anybody with a right mind would give the title a second look, if not to laugh at it!

Urinetown...

Caroline, or Change

Merrily we Roll Along

Those two are both great.

Here are my picks:

THE SOUND OF MUSIC

SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

Not a musical, but CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD has always been one of my favorite titles.

It's amazing they waited all the way until 1962 to do a show called "DO, RE, MI."

Do I Hear A Waltz

Seussical the Musical

WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND is an intersting title although I have no idea what the hell it means.

As for plays, I also like THE LION IN WINTER.
