Once again Lion King tops Ragtime and it's just A CRIME. The Lion King musical peaks with excitement in the first number and then it's a bore the rest of the night. A nice to look at bore but they never reach the same heights as they do in the first song. Ragtime is a balanced work of genius that weaves a ton of plot and characters into one of the most heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time shows about race and class difference and the dreams this nation was built upon.
However. BIG PROPS to giving Hedwig the credit it deserves.

I was surprise not to see Aida which is another musical By Tim Rice and Elton John which had Disney backing into possibly a movie I'm glad to see Titantic make it as an honorable mention. I had to explained to people that the musical is not based on the movie and that the musical came out a few months before the movie did. My community theatre did both Aida and Titantic which I was ensemble for both.

If Rent hadn't been #1, there would be riots. It is easily in my top five musicals, and it's only depending on my mood if it shares the top spot with Cats or surpasses it. Part of why the musical meant so much was the tragic death of Jonathon Larson the night before it premiered. It will NEVER be fair that he didn't get to see the impact he made.

I saw the filmed Julie Andrews performance of Victor Victoria on Valentines Day 2014! And have seen four incarnations of Rent. First the 2005 movie, the 20th anniversary Non-Equity tour, the 2008 closing night performance and the Fox TV performance. No hard feelings by the way about what happened with the guy that played Roger.

The Lion King was my first Broadway that I went to see when I was around five to six years old in the spring of 2003 at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York. That show is the reason why Ive been doing theatre for the last sixteen years and the reason why Ive been a fan of Elton John.

Of course Sunset Boulevard won Best Musical. It was only against TWO OTHER SHOWS that both closed because that year was a disaster on Broadway. There were only three new musicals nominated that year because THAT'S ALL THAT QUALIFIED.

Wow. No Once On This Island, Kiss of the Spiderwoman or Parade to be found ANYWHERE. I mean, it's all subjective but still. You'll throw a bone to Sunset Blvd and Victor/Victoria, but not even an honorable mention to those three?

Do musicals that were never on Broadway count? If so, then Bat Boy! It's not super mainstream, but it had its world premiere in LA in '97. If you like dark, yet somewhat ridiculous cult musicals, it's definitely one for you!

When You think of a 90's musical you think Of rent. But for me It is Jekyll and Hyde. The score to me is just a pure 90's baled, lol and I have done the show when I was 18, in the mid 2008.

I see Rent, I'm instantly hooked! It's THE most iconic musical of the 1990's, and its themes are still relevant today. The infamous 2019 live TV remake isn't a patch on the original!

I fell in love with RENT early this year, and it's gotten me through some really tough times. It's message is so beautiful: Love is such a powerful thing, and live in the moment.

Hedwig is one of the BEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN. And I watched it when I was 12 or 13.
The Origin of Love is that kind of song that remains with through time.

Wait. what about Phantom of the Opera, Starlight Express, Joseph and the Dreamcoat? They were all within that timeline I believe and of course. Cats!

Too bad Sideshow didnt get an honorable mention at least! The late 90s were a great time for musicals with Jekyl and Hyde, Ragtime and Lion king.

How on Earth did, Hedwig, make it to #5, while, Beauty and the Beast, was only #6? I guess some people prefer racket over a classic.
