I can understand why you guys think Wicked isn't one of Bways best right now (to each his own) but I think we can all (mostly) agree its nowhere near the worst.
Best:
1) Wicked
2) Spelling Bee
3) Hairspray
4) Rent
5) (tie) Piazza & Chicago
Dont really have a list of the worst. If it was still on Bway, I'd have to include La Cage

let's try this: Swee Charity got 3 votes for best and 5 for worst so she falls under the worst category with 2 votes. Does that sound like it could work?
