2. The Wild Party
3. Hairspray
4. Grey Gardens
5. Caroline, or Change
6. Taboo
7. The Full Monty
8. Jane Eyre
9. Avenue Q
10. Urinetown
11. Spring Awakening
12. A Class Act
13. Marie Christine
14. The Producers
15. James Joyce's The Dead
16. Amour
17. Aida
18. The Color Purple
19. Spamalot
20. Thoroughly Modern Millie
21. Curtains
22. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
23. The Sweet Smell of Success
24. The Drowsy Chaperone
25. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
26. Wicked
27. Thou Shalt Not
