Beauty and the Beast
Little Shop of Horrors
Phantom of the Opera
The Lion King
The Producers
Rent
Miss Saigon
The Secret Garden(because a good friend of mine was in it and he was great)
And tons of others.

Ah I forgot A Chorus Line.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Rent is definately my favorite. Wicked is a very close second.

My first fave show (from age eight to age eighteen) was Les Mis. First Bway obsession, and all.
I couldn't help it! RENT stole my heart! Forever may it reign supreme there!

My top three are
1. Phantom of the Opera
2. Les Miserables
3. Rent
I thoroughly enjoy the late 90s early 2000s era when all three were on Broadway at the same time. I went back and forth between those three many many MANY times in those years.
My other faves
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Chicago
Spring Awakening
West Side Story
The Music Man
Book of Mormon
Hamilton
Avenue Q

Strange. I thought the post title was asking for people to say their favorite shows; and not to talk badly about other people’s favorite shows.
Why yuck someone else’s Yum?
But add me to your list of worries, because Mamma Mia! is my favorite show as well.
If Lincoln were alive today, do you think he'd be pleased with his tunnel?

Dude, that person hasn't posted in 12 years so I doubt they will answer you. This thread is 21 years old but it's cute to read it. I never saw Mamma Mia! but I'm glad it's coming back for you guys that love it so much.
Fun Home.

I love that a thread like this got bumped after 21 years!
It seems the big, often favorites are Rent, Les Mis, and Phantom of the Opera, and that makes sense. Also Sweeney.
My favorite is predictably Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella because that is based on my favorite story of all time. The music just thankfully is also good. Second for me is Into the Woods, and third is Wicked. Maybe Wicked should count more since it has no bias. Then again The Wizard of Oz is my second favorite story. I long for a R+H Cinderella with a great, perfect book. The 2013 Broadway one was pretty good, though.

Now THAT is funny! I had never seen this post, and started from the beginning only to get annoyed with the crappy attitudes and then skipped to reply before reading the rest. My mistake!
That being said; Mamma Mia! was my favorite show in 2004 and remains as such in 2025! So happy it’s coming back to its former home, even if it’s just the tour set.
