Which would you say? The kind where you just step back and say...WOW! I've NEVER seen anything like that!

I totally agree about RENT. Considering was was out when RENT opened, it is unique. I thought Side Show was pretty uniqe as well.

The Lion King.
Do I think it's the best musical ever? Not at all.
But, there was so much in that show that was unique and innovating, that made me go "wow".

Don't yell at me...but I'm going with Taboo.

I'll respond by saying...
SHOCKHEADED PETER.
That was such an amazing show. (Ducks from things thrown by SP haters.) True, the opening scene with the emcee really could've been cut down, but the show was excellent from there on in. That was off broadway, though, but it was still the strangest, wierdest and most funniest musical I ever saw.

Hedwig and The Angry Inch... I trudged all over through the snow to find the thing... was scared out of my mind descending into that rat-trap basement to see it... and then had my mind blown by the show.

I'd say Caroline, Or Change...but I saw a really weird show called Squonk (sp?) several years ago that was way weirder than that, but it more of a "special event" than a musical.

I'm going with Hedwig here.
Although, I have to agree about CATS. For it's time, it was extremely unique.

I have to go with TOMMY. That just sticks out in my mind even years later. The story is bizzare in itself and the stage rocked. WOW!

I think BKLYN was unique as well. I guess I agree about Cats, too.

The new Sweeney production is pretty darn unique! IMO

I'm gonna go with Starlight Express. Roller skates?! Yes, roller skates.
And the new Sweeney. Just becuase it's so different from anything I've ever seen.
