From the array of answers it seems that 'Broadway Shows' are only musicals. Not true. Fluff can be popular and the fluffier the better, but there are shows on Broadway that have depth and stimulate not only the senses, but the emotions and the intellect as well. For example 'Art' and now playing, 'the History Boys' Off Broadway is not as loaded with musicals, though that is where I saw 'Little Shop of Horrors' before it became big time.

South Pacific Oklahoma Brigadoon My Fair Lady Sound of Music Camelot The King and I West Side Story and finally Peter Pan (the one with Mary Martin/Sandy Dennis).
None of them resorts to vulgarity or caves in to cynical negativity, unlike so much other stuff created since then.

Phantom of the Opera because I love the music. I saw it when it went to L.A. years and years ago. Michael Crawford performed at that one. Absolutely wonderful.
Sweeney Todd because I love the performance by George Hearn. He also is a wonderful actor. He's so versatile. He made Sweeney come "alive" for me.
