Top Ten List #6 (Items 51- 60)
Top Ten Broadway Musicals
 | 10. Wizard of Oz – The musical that started my love of musicals. (I’ve seen this show live like 5 or 6 times). |
 | 9. Jesus Christ Superstar – The “true” story of Jesus and his life of sin with Mary. (Haven’t seen this live, but the music is so wonderful!) |
 | 8. Spring Awakening – Sex, drugs and rock-and-roll all in pre-war Germany. |
 | 7. Les Mis – The story of a former prisoner seeking redemption during the French Revolution. |
 | 6. A Chorus Line – A behind the scenes looks at musical theatre auditions. |
 | 5. Hairspray – The first truly campy musical on this list but with a meaningful moral; racial tensions during Civil Rights era Baltimore. |
 | 4. RENT – Second appearance on the celebration list. Dark and depressing; AIDS and gay; rock and love: all wonderful things in a musical. |
 | 3. Beauty and the Beast – The first musical I saw on Broadway. A wonderful movie made better by the Disney on Broadway folk. I love DISNEY! |
 | 2. Legally Blonde – I saw opening night of previews. I said to my friend “Screw theatre for social change, sometimes you need camp! |
 | 1. Wicked – Where to begin? Where to end? This musical has been life altering. “I’d sooner try, Defying Gravity!” |
