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.

TELL ME ON A SUNDAY/SONG & DANCE
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
EVITA

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!!
