I'm going to go out on a limb here: there is someone just voting repeatedly. Just a hunch.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I have never kept it a secret that I love the original Tanz der Vampire. And even though the production on Broadway was a hot mess, Jim Steinman wrote a score that even Michael Riedel has gone on record to praise. So I'm glad there's a few devotees of the score out there.

And then I read dramamama's comment and a lightbulb went off. So now I'm most disappointed.

Hedwig is literally the only show on this list I've yet to hear the music of.

Really Dance of the Vampire? I can't believe this made the list. Wasn't the original in Vienna or somewhere in Germany? (i know Vienna is in austria so don't start teaching me about European geography). I would have to go with Rent.

Yes, Tanz der Vampire opened in Vienna and it is quite brilliant!

I seriously disagree with the classification of most of those shows as 'rock shows'

Why do we have to put everything into categories?
