Milk and Honey

Whoopee

In no particular order since it depends on the day...

Little Shop of Horrors
Once On This Island
Les Miserables
A Chorus Line
City of Angels

Honorable mentions: Ruthless, Pippin, Book of Mormon, and [title of show]. And Dear Evan Hansen, if I'm being honest. Really can't stop thinking about it.

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. Hamilton-brought me back to my theatre roots. 

2. Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812-a masterpiece.

4. Waitress-never gets old. 

5. Sunday In The Park With George-LOVE. 

Honorable Mentions: Hairspray, Wicked, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors, Matilda, Anything Goes, Rent, Dear Evan Hansen. 

Too hard.

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.
