i think some people are confused - this is for title songs (ie a song in the show that is the same as the title of the show) not opening numbers. or just reeling off favourite shows.
best:
into the woods
can we count (the ballad of) sweeney todd?
Company
little shop of horrors
cabaret
a man of no importance (ok, maybe not the best, but a personal favourite)
five guys named moe
jesus christ superstar
oklahoma did pretty well for itself!
oh, plenty more i'm sure
worst;
i've always hated the phaaaaaaaaaaaantumoftheopehra is theeeeeere. but i'm not a fan of the show full stop
i always felt like Hairspray's title song was a nice bit of kitschy pastiche, certainly not a standout song but a good bit of deliberately bad theme tune writing. i'm looking forward to hearing the new one too.
The Light In The Piazza
Company
