I ran a contest asking the question -- what is the most underrated show you've ever seen on a New York stage -- and got some interesting answers:

Definitially Tuck Everlasting! The cast, music, it was all amazing! Other than that, I think [Title of Show] closed pretty quickly and was not given enough appreciation.

Of all time? Caroline, or Change

Of recent shows, I agree about TUCK EVERLASTING. Maybe not "most" but definitely didn't get it's due. I adored the ending ballet sequence detailing Winnie's life. Plus, I adore Carolee and always love seeing her perform. Just a sweet little show that I'm sure will have a long regional life.
Beyond recents, I would say PARADE. I never saw the Broadway production, only a few regionals. This show has really touched me, and I'm neither Jewish nor Southern, but I'm always moved when I listen to the recording.

Caroline or Change is proving itself prescient (as other threads have pointed out), with its subplot about the toppling of a Confederate monument.

I'll repeat Caroline, or Change, and add Passing Strange.

Without a doubt Great Comet. This show is truly a revelation for Broadway, original in all the ways Hamilton was painted to be (but it isn't just a colonial rip off of another show). The drama and controversy was unwarranted and a truly brilliant piece of theater should have had a much longer life.

I avoided the book, I avoided the film in theaters and on TV. I'm not a fan of chick flick lit, as a rule.
But somebody gave me free tix to the first stop on THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY tour.
I was so deeply moved I couldn't talk about it for several days. I have no idea why it didn't run longer in NYC.
