"Wicked" is wonderful.
Not actually 'Broadway,' (It was only off-broadway) but "The Last Five Years" by Jason Robert Brown is quite good.
"Cabaret" is great.
So is "Chicago."
"My Fair Lady" has always been a favorite.
"Kiss Me, Kate," has always been a love of mine.
"Crazy For You" has awesome music, good writing.
"The Producers" is slightly overrated.
"Music Man" will always hold a fond spot in my heart.
"Guys and Dolls" is always a good call.
"Avenue Q" is funny, and has good acting, but the music isn't altogether brilliantly written or anything.
Not that there aren't some stinkers. The first is "No, No, Nanette." If it's playing...don't even bother. The second, and, I apologize to those that like it, but "Grease" is just horrendous.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
