There is no ORDER on this thread!
Therefore, mine shall be alphabetical.
And bulleted.

• Anything Goes
  
• Bye Bye Birdie
  
• A Chorus Line
  
• A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
  
• The Last Five Years
  
• Little Shop of Horrors
  
• Once on This Island
  
• Secret Garden [Simon]
  
• Thoroughly Modern Millie
  
• Wicked

(I did NOT think it would be THIS HARD to narrow it down to 10. Heck, it was hard to get it to 15. And if anyone gives me any trouble for putting Wicked on, I'll punch them.)
