Spelling Bee and Drowsy are definitely hilarious.

No one has mentioned this, so i don't know, maybe the productions wa s crap, but having only read the book and heard the music, "Debbie Does Dallas" made me laugh pretty hard.
"Anything Goes" always makes me laugh. And "A Year With Frog and Toad" is funny for entirely different reasons...

THE PRODUCERS as one of the funniest musicals? Sure, maybe in its prime; however, THE PRODUCERS that I saw on February 24th had me just about sleeping (this is coming from a person who is a huge fan of the cast recording, and yes, I do enjoy the movie).

I think that AVENUE Q is consistently funny, with our without the original Broadway cast. DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS was a show that had me constantly laughing, but I felt it lost some of its "oomf" once the last of the original cast had left.

Urinetown, The Drowsy Chaperone, Avenue Q, and Bye Bye Birdie. The last one, I think, is especially hysterical, and would only have been even better if I had seen it (or, even, lived) back in that generation.

Hands down I laughed my ass off at Urinetown. I have never laughed so hard at show. My friend with me had to tell me to be quiet

I don't know if this is "lesser known," but I was in a lot of musicals back in the day... and nothing got as much laughs as "Sugar Babies." Of course helped that we had a killer cast, including the director of the Broadway production... but I have NEVER before or since heard an audience laugh that hard. And I've never had to hold for a laugh like that (over a minute in one blackout scene!). I thought those joke were kinda old and corny, but if the cast is perfect and can put them over, you'd better hope the audience is wearing Depends.
