How young are you folks?! There's not a single Stephen Sondheim on anyone's list -- Sunday in the Park With George is one of about 3 musicals to ever win the Pulitzer. Nobody mentioned Oklahoma! -- arguably one of the most important musicals of the 20th century. Rodgers and Hammerstein created musicals where music advanced the plot, things didn't come to a standstill while someone sang a song that had precious little to do with the plot. Sondheim, mentored by Hammerstein, created musicals where music advanced characterization. Without South Pacific, Hello Dolly, Follies and Sweeney Todd, there could be no Rent or Wicked. (Although I do love Rent too)

My absolute favorite musical is probably Rent or Wicked, but I just recently saw Godspell and LOVED it.

It's hard to pick just one, but if I had to I guess I'd choose Rent. I wish Jonathan Larson could've lived to see how big it's become! And to give us more stuff!!! I haven't seen Tick Tick Boom, but I wonder what he would have come up with after Rent...
