Once On This Island
Les Miserables
A Chorus Line

It will (hopefully) change overtime but for now I'd say it is -
Fun Home
Hello, Dolly!
Into The Woods
Follies
Hairspray
Hon'ble mentions - Evita, Hamilton, A Chorus Line, Company.
The strange thing is, apart from Hello, Dolly! & Hairspray, most (all?) of these shows are very easy to mess up so I have loved productions more than show themselves. Dolly and Hairspray have razor-sharp wit hiding behind the beauty that is musical theater comedy which results in a really forgiving material much like a banana bread recipe.

1. Phantom of the Opera
2. Tanz der Vampire (I'm forever upset over how they butchered their chance at a great Broadway production. Now we'll likely never get an actual English-language cast recording.)
3. Les Misérables
4. Elisabeth (Would love to see them try their hand at playing it on Broadway or in London, but I don't hold my breath.)
5. Next to Normal
Honorable mentions go to Wicked (mostly for nostalgic reasons nowadays), Jekyll & Hyde, CATS, Fun Home, Beauty and the Beast, and recently Great Comet.
