Ragtime is the most perfect show ever written IMHO.

but I have a very soft spot for CHESS. When done right, just moves me every time. (Thanks Sacramento Music Cirucs for letting me see it 14 times!)

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Rent.

Yes, I know. I gave the most cliche answer. But I don't care. The music and story to this show just get me every single time and I don't understand how that's possible for something I've heard countless times.

No runners up. They are not needed.

"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT
