I was just wondering if there were any musicals people have seen that they felt were underated and should still be playing today. I have a few.. Seussical, I thought the music was great, Lennon, it just needed some tweaking but the music was amazing, of course john lennon was brilliant, but they gave it a musical theater feel. Those are just a couple off the top of my head..

Not sure how The Wiz, Kiss Me, Kate or La Cage are underrated when they were all Best Musical Tony winners which were long-running hits and have been produced thousands of times around the country since their Broadway runs.

Jane Eyre Got Robbed of best score... I'm sorry all you Producer fans, I like the Producers too, but Best Score? Even Full Monty had a better score that year. So, that's two shows that had better scores. KING STEVOS
