Ten (cannot limit myself to five) musicals that make me laugh, cry, play the record over and over, get all huffy during bows, not sleep at night, immediately take the character/actor's names as future baby names, and spend a little too much time gazing at the program:
1. AIDA
2. Man of La Mancha
3. The Light in the Piazza
4. Wicked
5. Gypsy
6. Carnival
7. Cinderella (NOT the Disney version, the Broadway version)
8. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
9. The Lion King
10. West Side Story
Extremely Honorable Mention To:
Seussical the Musical
Avenue Q.
Chicago
The Pajama Game
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
Oliver!
