POLL: Best Broadway musical

OU Cougar

Fiddler on the Roof

Hamilton is probably #2 on my list. Les Miserables (The book and the play) affected me deeply like great art can.

Les Mis is still my #1 also

Hamilton is only 5 years old. 20 years from now it will be in everyone’s Top 3

Not everyone's. 20 years from now I will still have only seen it once.

But you won’t be around in 20 years 😉

20 years from now it will be mostly forgotten

I think there is a huge segment of the population who loves it. I think it's

I saw Les Miserables in 1985 at Royal Albert Hall. Incredible experience.

I saw it on Broadway right after high school and a BYU grad played Fantine. It was a church history tour and I wonder

100% on Les Mis re: the book. I read the unabridged version many years ago

When I see an opinion I disagree with I'm compelled to share it. I love the musical so much, but just hate the book.

I read it again (listened to it on Audible) last year. I love the book and it's message.

I loved the musical, but the book brings out everything, it is amazing.

Its a masterpiece

This is where I am at. Love Hamilton. But it can't replace Les Mis.

PBS show was amazing. +100

You need Rent, West Side Story, and Fiddler on the roof. Get rid of Hair, Cats, and Joseph.

Rent? That’s not even a top-20

COUGZ

7/5/20 11:32pm

I included rent for how much other people love it, not how much I love it (although I excluded Cats). People

shimmy

7/5/20 11:34pm

I’ve seen Rent twice and was mad I wasted $ twice. 🤷‍♂️

COUGZ

7/5/20 11:34pm

I spent real American dollars going to see Cats. It keeps me up at night. Tons of money for 1 good song

shimmy

7/5/20 11:37pm

Yes. Rent and Cats. Both pretty crappy imo.

My favorite play

Return of the Yeti

7/5/20 11:53pm

It was awesome on broadway. The actor that played Percy was hilarious.

1- Les Mis 2- Phantom....should be everyone’s list then everything else...

COUGZ

7/5/20 11:34pm

Les Mis > Hamilton > Fiddler > Wicked > Phantom

7/5/20 11:34pm

That top 3 is iron clad for me. I'd have a hard time choosing between Les Mis and Hamilton, but LM, Ham, and FotR

Ragtime is in my top 5

I liked the book more than the musical for les mis.

Heath Squashwell

7/5/20 11:55pm

My favorites, in order, are Les Mis, Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King

West Side Story is a masterpiece

My Fair Lady - is my daughters favorite.

7/6/20 1:54am

1776 should be on that list

I'm surprised no one has mentioned A Chorus Line.
