PETER PAN!


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

IMO there is no "best show of all time". Every show should be regarded on it's own merits without having to resort to this one is better than that one tactics. Updated On: 9/6/04 at 08:12 PM

This is a very hard thing to decide...

I guess I would have to say Chess or Jekyll and Hyde (as I saw them each 10 times)

All Time Favorite is a better way of putting it, but "best show"...nah don't think so.

So putting it in that context my all-time personal favorite is:

DREAMGIRLS

CapnHook: Do you eat Peter Pan Peanut Butter?

Let's say out of all the shows I've seen, Thoroughly Modern Millie. But I am biased because I am a Sutton Foster fan.

"Best" in relation to what? Most popular? meaning a show(s) that have been seen by more people worldwide? Attendance record holder? Number of performances? ...what?

If any of the above factors constitutes "best" I would have a small list based on this, that's not necesarily my personal favorites, but factually would include...

PHANTOM
LES MISERABLES
CATS
MAMMA MIA (yes, it was just voted the "world most popular musical)
