From a serious compositional standpoint, as well as longevity with the public – hands down, West Side Story. You’re talking Leonard Bernstein here – and Steven Sondheim did the lyrics!
When it comes to score…it depends on your personal style….
West Side story is something people can relate to more than the others, and Bernstein’s music in unforgettable.
But-on the other hand…
Phantom’s vocal performances are amazing, and Andrew Lloyd Weber is sheer genius. People also end up feeling bad for the phantom in the end, so it pulls at the audience’s heart-strings.
My opinion:
DCI_2007_Championships
2007 Drum and Bugle Corp Championships are to be held in Pasadena, CA
This is a once in a lifetime experience -
The 2007 Drum and Bugle Corp Championships are to be held in Pasadena, CA
the week of Aug 1-11. Never has it been held on the West Coast and
never again as it will be moved to the East Coast in 2008.

Now here is the commercial part of this message.
For Christmas gifts for my family, I bought a whole section for the
family at the Friday 10th August semi-finals.
Many of them declined to attend. So I have 12 extra tickets on hand (
In section 16) which I will sell at cost $20.00 each. ( Normally: $40.00 )
(The event is fully sold out except for the extremely cheap seats $25.00 )

Hands down Phantom of the Opera!!!!!!!!
From your list:
1.) Phantom of the Opera.
2.)I performed in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and it was a really fun piece… Loved it. Depends how its ran, though.
Even though its not on the list I LOVE THE MUSICAL GREASE. Its such a fun musical!!
Fiddler on the roof is a great one too.
Your a good man, Charlie Brown.
And.. Dragontale. ( Not the kiddy TV series)
Best Music–West Side Story
Best Plot—Cabaret
Best Fluff and a tom of fun—Joseph
Best Musical for Peapole Who Hate Musicals—Moulin Rouge
and I’m sorry, but I really hate Phantom; too cheesy for me.
The original cast of West Side Story.
Why? Better music, better musicians, better lyrics, Stephen Sondheim, the greatest presence on Broadway helped to collaborate on the book.
