My Fair Lady, Phantom, Wicked, and West Side Story.

Starlight Express
American Idiot

I totally forgot about Starlight Express. The set was fucking amazing, and the power-ballad duet gave me chills at the time.

And I dare anyone to find a choreographed ensemble work of musical art better than Skid Row from Little Shop.

Probably the best musical I saw live in New York was "Spring Awakening," which was scored by Duncan Sheik and starred a pre-"Glee" Lea Michele, who had a brief nude scene. Great show.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

West Side Story

Damn Yankees. We did it as our senior production back in high school. Plus I hate the Yankees.

love Spring Awakening. Also love Wicked, Jersey Boys, Mama Mia, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Was in a production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels a couple of years ago-- really funny, great golden-age style music, and so much fun to be a part of.
