Rank this past season's musical productions

[followspot]

Posted: 6/5/15 at 11:45am

Based on your overall enjoyment of the particular production, rank the 2014-15 new musicals and musical revivals you've seen (combined).

(There's no right answer, so no arguments please!  I think it was a high-quality Broadway season — 15 productions, with something for everyone — and it's just interesting to see differing opinions.)

Mine (favorite to least favorite): 

On The Town
The King and I
The Visit
Fun Home
On The Twentieth Century

The Last Ship
Honeymoon in Vegas
It Shoulda Been You
Gigi
Something Rotten!

Finding Neverland
An American in Paris
Holler If Ya Hear Me
Doctor Zhivago
Side Show

I saw 4 musicals that opened this season...loved 3 and left the fourth at intermission

OTTC (I saw 3x!!!) 

Something Rotten

The Last Ship

 

On the Town (I was so bored, if I knew it was like that I would have gone to see The Last Ship for a second time!!

Also I really wanted to see Side Show but it closed two weeks before my first trip to NYC this year in Jan.  Loved the OBCR (and the revival cast recording) of this show!

I, too, like them all.  And they were so different it's difficult to be completely fair in ranking them.  But as far as those that stood out the most.

 

1.  On the Town

2.  On the Twentieth Century

3.  Something Rotten

4.  An American in Paris

5.  Finding Neverland

6.  The Visit

7.  Fun Home

 

#4 and #5 could possibly be interchangeable.

FINDING NEVERLAND
