Let's face it: all musicals are dumb. People burst into song? Yecch. And I love music.

The music I like the most from stage musicals:

My Fair Lady
Fiddler on the Roof
West Side Story
Porgy and Bess
Phantom of the Opera
Jesus Christ Superstar

Andy,

I didn't include Porgy & Bess because I consider it literally more of an Opera than a stage musical.

That may be an error on my part, but if it is to be included in this discussion, I would rank it pretty much even with West Side story at the top of the list.

Myrt.........
