Posted: 4/9/11 at 7:24pmI'd like to know what you all think is his best, and why.

Posted: 4/9/11 at 7:53pmI think Sunday in the Park with George is his masterpiece. Not Sweeney and not Follies, but they come close.

I'm beginning to think that it's his career and his shows as a whole that are the masterpiece, not one individual show.

INTO THE WOODS.
It is a social powerful commentary. The music is fun, the story is touching and it's an all-around inventive show.
