My Top 10 Broadway Shows of All Time

These are my favorite Broadway shows I've seen in my life.  I did not see them all on Broadway.  Some of them were on the road versions of the shows.  If not the Broadway version, I will denote where I saw the show.

Clay Aiken in Spamalot
10.  Spamalot

9.  Dreamgirls (Baltimore)

8. Les Miserables (Washington DC and London) (Have seen it 5 times.)

7. Billy Elliot

6. Company

5. Jesus Christ Superstar (Washington DC)

4. Sunset Boulevard (Atlanta)

3. Evita (Philadelphia)

2. Sweeney Todd (Sadly, without Patti, but the understudy was great)

1. Next to Normal (Saw it 3 times--twice with Alice Ripley)

What a fine list! I would have included at least six of these in my own top 10, coincidentally the only 6 of them which I have seen - but also My Fair Lady (stage version, of course), Guys & Dolls, and at least one of Rodg & Hamm (Oklahoma! perhaps?)
Sadly, never seen 'Billy Elliot', 'Spamalot' - and 'Next to Normal' which I've barely even heard of, but am additionally intrigued by, especially since it's your Number 1!
But a most intriguing list. Thanks.
