Musicals Ranked

Current Music: "Any Dream Will Do", from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

This seems silly, but I'm going to rank a bunch of musicals from best to worst, by composer.I'll keep the separate composers separate though, so we'll have four parallel lists. But we can rank the composers overall, again from best to worst:

1. Boublil & Schoenberg
2. Benny & Björn (the guys from ABBA)
3. Anderew Lloyd Webber/Sondheim (it's not fair to compare these two, so they tie for 3rd)

Boublil & Schoenberg

1. Les Misérables
2. Miss Saigon
3. Martin Guerre
4. La Révolution Française

Benny & Björn

(an aside: I just discovered a CD called Benny Anderson's Orkester, which I must buy ASAP! Also, November 1989 seems like it must be amazing, but it's a very expensive import!)

1. Chess
2. Kristina från Duvemåla
3. Mamma Mia
4. The Girl with the Golden Hair

1. Aspects of Love
2. Phantom of the Opera
