Diva's Post Below Made me think: Best Musicals I've seen live (obv. I haven't seen a lot though)

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Feb 3 '16, 08:57

Hamilton
Book of Mormon
Company
Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
Avenue Q

That said, I saw Book of Mormon and was floored. It was the best musical I had seen. 2 weeks later I saw Hamilton. The bf and I had the same reaction, we are in a post Hamilton viewing world, where it is so much above and beyond everything else, I'm having a hard time comparing.

There is a special place in my list for Next to Normal and In The Heights then - oblique Feb 3, 09:03 7
- I heart 'Next to Normal'. It's so good. - Diva Feb 3, 09:04 6
  - I *really* want to go to some musical theater with you guys sometime - oblique Feb 3, 09:05 1
    - that would be so fun. -- nm - Diva Feb 3, 09:06
  - That got it's start right here in DC/VA. I missed it then, and haven't had a chance to catch it yet. -- nm - MDH Feb 3, 09:05 3
    - I did the same thing with the 'Porgy & Bess' and 'Pippin' revivals here. Shoulda gone. -- nm - Diva Feb 3, 09:06 1
      - Yeah, DC and Boston have been bringing it. Here's my quick memory of recent Broadway debuting in each city - MDH Feb 3, 09:09
    - I should include Wicked on my list as well. Saw that twice. -- nm - oblique Feb 3, 09:06
My sentimental favorite is still: In The Heights. I really don't want to see it with another cast other than the local production. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 3, 09:00 4
- This is on my must see list. I love the OST. -- nm - MDH Feb 3, 09:01 3
  - And I feel that way about Hamilton. I cannot imagine seeing it with any other cast but the original now. -- nm - MDH Feb 3, 09:01 2
    - :( - oblique Feb 3, 09:05 1
      - I can't imagine it wouldn't be. Big huge successful shows like these have Bibles to ensure the quality is maintained. -- (edited) - Diva Feb 3, 09:11
