Well, this thread just proves the old saying:

"You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

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

Of the ones I've seen (not many since I don't get to NYC that often) that are still running, from favorite to least favorite:

1. Light in the Piazza (perfect!)
2. Avenue Q
3. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
4. Rent
5. Wicked
6. SpamAlot

If I count recent national tours and Broadway shows that have closed, it would look like this:

1. Piazza
2. Avenue Q
3. DRS
4. Thoroughly Modern Millie
5. Hairspray
6. Rent
7. Wicked
8. The Producers
9. SpamAlot
10. Beauty and the Beast
11. Movin' Out
12. Phantom

I'm sensing some hostility, here.
All of which could be solved with a simple tap of the keyboard, I believe

Best: (in no particular order)
1. DRS
2. Spelling Bee
3. Spamalot (not a wonderful musical, but the book is hysterically written)
4. Sweet Charity
5. Rent
6. Chicago
7. Piazza

Worst:
1. La Cage (yes, yes. I'm aware it closed........for a reason.)
2.POTO (Don't get me wrong. I love it, but its about time that it leaves)
3. All Shook Up

Did you people just insult Chita Rivera? You suck. Some people have no sense of history.

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?
