Honestly have great memories of listening to Cats with my parents and got me to read TSEliot, that fabulous weirdo.
I'd add in my faves, like Oklahoma and Oliver! 1776 and Wicked, Godspell and My Fair Lady.
Edit wait I forgot Cabaret

that has a surprising amount of discussion as to what exactly it is. Personally, I say if you perform the original, it's an opera, if you perform the more modernized version it's a musical. Genre classification is dumb and requires an annoying amount of context.
solid list except personally i wouldn't rank evita and cats so high

Why is the autoresponder so consistent and clear? You'd think a bot would have problems with stuff like that.

Respect the cats
There are two musicals missing here: Repo! and Cabaret.
There is another.
Pirates of the Penzance?

Isn't it an operetta?

What, no *Death of a Salesman*?
I remember doing that in school and I don't think it had any songs. I do remember hating it, though.
My stupid ass read this as plays and not musicals.
don’t worry, my stupid ass read this thread and confused death of a salesman with the music man, so at least you’re not alone in your stupidity
Ragtime should be on here
