01. Starlight Express
02. Joseph
03. Jesus Christ Superstar
04. Aspects of Love
05. EVITA
06. Phantom of the Opera
07. Cats
08. Sunset Boulevard
09. The Woman in White
10. Whistle down the Wind
11. Beautiful Game
12. Tell Me On A Sunday (Song & Dance)
13. Jeeves/By Jeeves

10 - 13 are ranked pretty randomly.

I hold Starlight Express close to my heart, I performed it. It was so much fun and I met a lot of new people. The stage was built, and we even used roller blades.
I know that musical and Joseph very well... I was supposed to be a part of Joseph, but we never actually performed it.

Everything after JCS and Evita sounds the same. It's like one long show with interchangeable songs.

I like Song and Dance and Evita.
Perhaps it's because of Bernadette and Patti.
Yes, that's probably it.

GASP! I forgot Variations (even though it is in Song and Dance). But, I love it, so I will seperate the two.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE
ASPECTS OF LOVE
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

My top 4:

01> The Phantom of the Opera
02> Aspects of Love
03> Evita
04> Jesus Christ Superstar

The rest just kind of float around for me or I haven't heard them enough. (Cats and Starlight- I like some of the songs but cannot tolerate the whole show.

Plince! Plince! Nein! T-Rex!!
