Triumph of Love. It's not overly-wonderful, but it's really cute and not well known.
Merrily we roll along, roll along...

Bat Boy.
Alright, so maybe I'm pushing Bat Boy integration just a tad too much.

Side Show has some very lovely music, but I've never seen the show

I gotta go with Violet on this one.
I'll concur with Myths and Hymns, BatBoy, Jon & Jen, Mystery of Edwin Drood and Side Show as well.
Does Piece count? :)

Yes. I have bits and pieces of these. They are absolutely stunning. I wanted to stage an Australian production with my company, Radical Wizardry. I feel (personally) some of the greatest lost musicals are Black and Barry's Alice in Wonderland and Fox and Steinman's The Confidence Man - which is a very melodic, majestic Brechtian musical in the style of Show Boat and Threepenny Opera. I'd strongly recommend it. Also: anything by Steinman (i.e. a musical version of Wagner's Rhinegold, lol) and anything by Warner - absolutely sensational! His stuff is like a cross between Steinman and Gore (the guy who wrote the Fame song and Carrie). It's camp and gothic and gorgeous :)

Merrily We Roll Along
The Secret Garden
Some people analyze every detail/
Some people stall when they can't see the trail/
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail/
But I keep rollin' on/
Some people can't get success with their art/
Some people never feel love in their heart/
Some people can't tell the two things apart/
But I keep rollin' on

Hedwig and the Angry Inch!! I saw it here in DC...it was so touching.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

This thread made me feel really dumb...even though I have over 200 Broadway CDs...I haven't heard of half of these- and I couldn't think of any not-so-well known shows (besides some of the things people are saying like Parade, Side Show,Zanna Don't...and some others)
Jeez...I really need to get some of this stuff.
Meanwhile...I'm singing a song from Romance, Romance and I love it...so if that counts for anything...

THE GRASS HARP--indisputably and forever. Just wonderful. And with Barbara Cook, Karen Morrow, and Carol Brice--who could ask for more? Oh, maybe the cutie Russ Thacker. Eternal thanks to the great Claibe Richardson and Kenward Elmslie for writing this stupendous score.

I saw a cute little production of GRASS HARP in L.A. some years back starring Susan Watson (Bye Bye Birdie) and Candy Brown (Pippin). Susan Watson still looked sixteen.

I can't figure out how well-known Hedwig and the Angry Inch is. I saw a production in Cambridge, MA this fall and then I learned that a whole lot of people are fans of it. If it is obscure, though, it's my fave.
