And those are only my all-time favorites. Also missing from my favorites are Aida, The Fantastiks, Into the Woods, Ragtime, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Urine Town, Pajama Game, La Boheme, Of Thee I Sing, Anything Goes, and Assasins.
And I have to say, it really surprises me that Hairspray is the top musical. It's very fun, I have the CD (like I do all the musicals I mentioned), but it's really not fabulous. That, and High School Musical is NOT a real musical. In fact, I think it's blasphemey to even list it with these other great works. Oh well. To each his own, I guess.
Nonetheless, I'm absolutely thrilled that so many people like musicals!!! This is cause for celebration!
