As always, these are in constant fluctuation:

1. Les Miserables
2. Rent
3. Sweeney Todd; The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
4. The Last Five Years
5. Cabaret
6. The Producers
7. Caroline, Or Change
8. Into The Woods
9. Chicago
9.5. Aida
10.Avenue Q

And I have to mention "Hairspray", because though I havn't seen it (soon...soon), I LOVE the score. And there are so many more that, just because they don't make my list now, doesn't mean they won't next week.

I haven't even seen 10 musicals. Ones I haven't seen are marked with an (*), and my judgements are based on the music, live performances and my general knowledge of the show. Now, in no specific order:

1) Thoroughly Modern Millie
2) Hairspray *
3) 42nd Street
4) Wicked
5) Phantom of the Opera
6) Oklahoma!
7) The Producers * (hope to see the tour!)
Urinetown

No answer for 9 and 10.

In no particular order:

Bare: A Pop Opera
Rent
Avenue Q
Songs for a New World
Aida
Wicked
Taboo
Sweeney Todd
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Miss Saigon

In about a day, that will change.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

musicalmjk, you and I think alike.

NINE is my favorite musical, and has occupied the top spot for years.

Actually, my top three haven't varied since 1988. The rest fluctuate.

1. NINE
2. MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG
3. CARRIE
4. FIRST LADY SUITE
5. SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
6. PROMISES, PROMISES
7. COMPANY
8. A CHORUS LINE
9. THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM
10. BLOOD BROTHERS

Wow, that's an odd thing to see written down. Do I really like FIRST LADY SUITE more than SUNDAY IN THE PARK or COMPANY? At the moment, yeah. Ask me again tomorrow.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
