This is random but I think it would be cool to see what people's favorite shows are. (And if you have to, you can say 2 shows cuz I find it's hard to choose)
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, 1981

Cats and then Tarzan
Little Shop of Horrors (based on the tour of the Broadway production), or A Chorus Line.
I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread.
Maybe you have to know the personalities here better than I do to catch the humor, but I am sincerely hoping you are all kidding.

Follies (original 1971 production) and -- essentially for Hugh Jackman's extraordinary performance -- The Boy from Oz.
I've seen way too many shows since the 1950s, to limit it to one. Although the best musical I ever saw was the original London production of My Fair Lady, with Julie Andrews and Alec Clunes. But that wasn't on Broadway.
On Broadway, there are just so many. Seesaw certainly remains the best danced show I ever saw, and Ragtime restored my faith in the American musical. As for non-musicals, the original The Miracle Worker and Wait Until Dark, are favorites, among many.
