I also say the Light in the Piazza because the score is simply gorgeous.

And also Ragtime.

Right Passion is beautiful too. Notice how with each of Fosca's songs, the melody supports her more and more.

Without doubt, the most beautiful score I have EVER heard is Kristina Fran Duvemala. It leaves me breathless, I just adore it! It will probably not do too well on broadway as it is an 80s style epic (á la Les Mis, Miss Saigon), but it is so wonderful I hope it does succeed.

Second best is Ragtime, and third is Light in the Piazza.

At the risk of sounding biased and/or cliche, The Phantom of the Opera. It's my #1 favorite, but there isn't one melody in it that I don't like (yeah, they repeat). Other musicals, I usually pick and choose with even though I love them, too. Including my other Webber fave, The Woman in White.

Most beautiful score? Light in the Piazza
My favorite score, however, is Ragtime.

The Light in the Piazza -- just for the sheer beauty of the music. It's really art music, and it'sso melodic and written so thoughtfully.

MJL's The Wild Party -- it manages to stay true to the era while telling the story thru the music itself

Aspects of Love -- I don't really like ALW or this plot, but I think the music (however reprised it is) is beutiful

I used to think Carousel, Aspects, and Phantom were my favorites. But of late it has changed to Phantom and Woman In White. I think the Phantasia cd had something to do with it. It is beautiful.

The Scarlet Pimpernel
Les Mis
Passion
Ragtime

Many others not on the top of my head...

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

My vote is for Caroline, Or Change. That score affects me like no other.
