I say "Sunday in the Park with George". What do you say?

Although I am a fan of Sweeny Todd... I absolutely love
"Into the Woods", maybe i think it speaks more to the human condition, and hope, dreams, and weaknesses we all have.
and on the plus side, most of the tunes are fabulous, and stick with you for days, if not a life time!

I think "Sunday..." is clever but loses some of its charm in the second act. "Sweeney Todd" is brilliant and many would call it a masterpiece. Some might opt for "A Little Night Music" because of the challenge of creating a musical all in waltz time. "Follies" has great music. Myself, I have always enjoyed "Company" above the others.

As much as I like Sunday in the Park with George, I'm going to have to go with Sweeney Todd. It's just so rich and textured musically.

"Sunday" has second act troubles, as does "Into the Woods". "Company" is far too dated, and "Forum" too juvenile. I'd have to agree that "Sweeney" is the best: a cohesive plot that keeps the audience gripped, different musical stylings. Close second is a tie with "A Little Night Music" and "Follies". I've only heard the score for each and found them captivating.

As a musician, A Little Night Music is definitely it. We still get requests for "that song"! I don't think we've had requests from any of his other shows except Company.

unfortunately I can't say what is...but my vote for "isn't" would be "merrily we roll along".
and I agree with the sweeny todd vote. That is a great show!
