I haven't seen DRS, Spelling Bee, or any of the others, but The Producers was funnier than Spamalot. (Although both were great)

DRS!

Avenue Q is up there...

but of anything, and this of course is the funniest play...I have never laughed harder than I did at Jewtopia.

Actually can't let this thread pass by w/o some sort of notable mention for My Fair Lady...considered one of the truly best bway musicals of all time and probably one of the most intelligently written.

Having played Hero in Forum before I can definitely vouch for this show being one of my favorite comedies. Every night I performed in it was a blast!

Other comedies I love are:
--The Pajama Game--the bits with Hines are hilarious--especially the scene where he can't keep his pants on!
--Guys and Dolls
--Avenue Q
--Smoke on the Mountain--I played Rev. Oglethorpe in both versions of this show and the audience went crazy for them. When reading the script it doesn't appear as funny as it really is. I did the show down here in NC so I guess it really appealed to a lot of the audience since they could relate to it.

I left off Kiss Me, Kate...a great classic musical comedy. I have never laughed so hard when I saw the recent revival...of course that partly could be attributed to the wine I had with my dinner at Sardi's.... :)

Urinetown (especially for theatre geeks)and Producers
never seen Avenue Q, but I'm sure its hilarious as well.

Another funny show, certainly not my favorite comedy, Hairspray has quite a few funny lines.
