1. Miss Saigon
2. Martin Guerre
3. Aspects of Love
4. Evita
5. Phantom
6. Parade
7. The Beautiful Game
8. Heathers
9. Hamilton
10. Elisabeth (am I allowed foreign language musicals?)
That was much harder than I thought past the first couple. Because... there are musicals like Phantom that have my heart, are beautiful, and mean a huge amount to me, but I wouldn't go and watch frequently. Then there are shows I can see over and over, like Jersey Boys, but objectively wouldn't rate higher than others in my list. And probably I'd choose differently if I did it tomorrow!

1: JCS - I've never seen a production I haven't enjoyed
2: Evita
3: Rocky Horror
4: Godspell
5: A Chorus Line but this is based on seeing it once in the 1970s and being blown away.
But different productions give different answers - Original Cats in my top ten, recent Cats revival in my bottom five.

Can't tell you how happy I am to see Which Witch on your list! Ooohhh, I can't believe someone on the bord has heard of it! It was one of my first (of many) musical obsessions :-D I'm sure lots of people have!! I have both the double CD London cast recording and a double LP of an earlier concert version. I wish I'd seen it in person, but have only watched the video of it on YouTube. It feels like there's very nearly a great musical in there - there's certainly a lot about it that fascinates me. I have a real soft spot for the huge flops that followed on the heels of the eighties mega musicals - as well as Witch Which, I'd pick out Metropolis and Bernadette (which wasn't great, but is my own personal obsession as it's the first musical I went on my own to see!) |

How fabulous! I have seen various incarnations of it live, and have only fond memories. I'm sure we will not see anything like it again. And thanks, I will look up Metropolis and Bernadette! To the moderators: That was my last post about Which Witch in this thread. I'm terribly sorry for the threadjacking. |

They don’t have to be the same ten every day…although saying that, my top 5 stay the same. The next five were where the fun started. They change all the time.

I can't do it! I can't reduce it down to only 10! I don’t know if the OP has considered just how stressful this is. I constantly feel the urge to edit my choice! 😂 |
