After seeing a post about a list of musicals that a radio satin made and how wrong it was, I’m making a new poll just for us, broadway finest, to vote on what truly is the greatest musicals of all time. Results will be announced in a week!
Enjoy!

Not a Wildhorn show in the bunch. Seriously, the original Follies for me.

I fear this will be as limited as the original one.

oh how wrong of me! I loved Wildhorn scores and it is a sin that i forgot him! Shame on me! But as you can see, select “Others” and then right the name of the show down so it can be counted please! If you feel this is as limited as the first one please explain why and i could perhaps change it.
We want to get proper Broadway fans thoughts and get a clear winner!

As of today Sweeney Todd is winning! Enjoy

Who are the Morons that put Kinky Boots as the greatest of all time?

Everyone has the right to their opinions.

Anyone who thinks Kinky Boots is the greatest musical of all time needs to see MUCH more theatre.

I don't see CAROUSEL on the list, which is very disturbing.

[darreyl102]

It’s all a matter of taste. Those who voted for Kinky may actually have seen tons of theatre, but love Kinky the most. It all just depends what’s your fancy.

I also don't see how Carousel can be missing, as well as the Tony winner Bye Bye Birdie. If you are going to include a flop like Side Show then at least make it one like The Scottsboro Boys that got 12 nominations.

My choices:
My Fair Lady
Les Miserables
Gypsy
West side Story
South Pacific
A Chorus Line
Rent

I feel very, very old.

I can't think of one musical written in this century (so far) that deserves to be on any "Ten Best" list.
