[obligatory Hamilton/"Satisfied" joke]
I don't know about "at peace," but The Book Of Mormon always makes me happy.

Miss Saigon keeps my fear at bay. I'm now pretty much immune to Kim's suicide after seeing a hundred ways to kill herself. What worse can one be than having their hope shattered?
Dear Evan Hansen is reassuring, and I had myself reassured four times during the few weeks of its off-Broadway run.

Hairspray makes me extremely happy. Like I can not stop smiling when I listen to it.

Merrily We Roll Along, I know there are issues with the book BUT "Our Time" is one song that just makes feel excited about everything even if things are complete crap

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is like a hot Bailey's and Coffee mit Schlag to me: frothy and bracing and warming in equal measure. Aren't most musicals ultimately about finding the right partners to waltz with as the curtain falls?

Happy? Many. Some of them joyously so. Along with many other emotions.
Tranquil, peaceful, serene? None.

The Last Ship and Pippin always seem to relax my mind from whatever issues I'm stressing over

Legally Blonde is my pick too.
I overdid Wicked when I first fell in love with it, so I have been avoiding it, but I remember the power it had over me. I was actually physically sick one morning on the bus, couldn't breathe properly, and was sure I was going to throw up. The guy next to me was listening to The Wizard & I on his headphone really really loud. I just concentrated on the song for a few minutes and my breathing was back in control and there was sudden happiness inside me. It was crazy.

After forever lurking...and it's still my favorite pastime...
Not necessarily "at peace," but I breathe when they finish. A big sigh, like my brain and heart have gone through this crazy process.

She Loves Me and Holiday Inn are in the category of "I sat there for two and a half hours with a smile on my face."

Are you sure it's not just the most European musical possible?

Even though it's an emotional rollercoaster, every time I walk out of this Color Purple revival, I feel like my soul is at rest. It's church.

Waitress, Fun Home, Carousel, and Company. I imagine The Color Purple would do it too, if I'd seen it. It's those finale numbers. They are all so life-affirming.
