OK, so this may be a stupid topic, but might be fun. Take the arbitrary grouping of musicals by first letter. If you could only listen to or see one set of musicals for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
I think I'd go with S -- SITPWG, Sweeney Todd, Spring Awakening, Starlight Express, South Pacific. I could see people voting for a number of other letters, though.

I really can't believe that I'm playing...but whatever.
I'd go with S as well, but for the sake of the discussion, I'll say
R.
Rent, Ragtime, Rocky Horror, Romance, Romance, Runaways

I'd be pretty content with A
Avenue Q
Anything Goes
Annie
Aida
Annie Get Your Gun
EDIT-
Didn't think I was cheap but I'm still content with A minus A Catered Affair and A Chorus Line. Kay?

Counting "A" is kind of cheap. In that case I'd just go with T, get all the The's and just deal with the fact that Tarzan is in there.

I was thinking about this as well. "The" definitely doesn't count, but I'm undecided about "A" because it usually has a meaningful place in the title--they had a reason to use "A" instead of "The."
As well, I was thinking numbers would count with the letter they would be spelled with (42nd St is F, 25th Annual Spelling Bee is T).
I really can't believe that I'm playing...but whatever.
Yeah, I know, but at least it's not another discussion about Idina, Rent closing, Patti, Tony nominations, Legally Blonde rush, or how much Cry Baby and Glory Days suck. :)

Posted: 5/6/08 at 9:05pmDefinately G for Grey Gardens and Gypsy. It luckily enough also comes with Grease and Glory Days.

Posted: 5/6/08 at 9:12pmHands-down, "S"
#18re: You could only listen to/see musicals that start with one letter -- whi
Posted: 5/6/08 at 9:15pmI'd go with S so I could tack "Stephen Sondheim's..." to every one of his shows. Is that cheating? :-P
-My fault, I fear.
