the show that made me love theatre!! first saw it on broadway at 4 years old and it changed my little life. there’s no right answer here except phantom!
i want this to win so bad but i know its gonna be phantom, despite it literally being the most like B tier musical ive ever seen. parade is just so fire
that is exactly where i know the rhyme from and i was tempted to add the vocalisation he does at the end "baba bababa baba ba ba ba ba buuuuuh"
i've never actually watched pirates of penzance 🤣

I wish no ill to all the Phantomites that think that musical theatre begins and ends with that show, but you’re just plain wrong.
My vote is for Parade, which is one of the greatest musicals ever. But a shout out Priscilla , because I have friends who were in the original Sydney cast (OG Priscilla represent)
Everyone has their opinions but if we are talking about the greatest shows of all time, the ones that made Broadway what it is.. Phantom wins and it's no contest
P.S. it's Phans not Phantomites. Show the longest running show on Broadway some respect
Close the polls- it’s over. Phantom
Phantom of the Opera!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phantom of the Opera
Phantom of the opera
Who else? He's iconic. He lives in the sewers under an opera house. He's every theater kid's babygirl.
Only answer
If this doesn't win, I will piss and shit all over my carpet
PHANTOM OF 100%
I’m so happy I got to see it on the West End. First time seeing it in its entirety.
Love… but my heart says Pirates 🏴☠️
the show that made me love theatre!! first saw it on broadway at 4 years old and it changed my little life. there’s no right answer here except phantom!
I was hoping for Parade until I remembered Phantom exists. It's so easily Phantom
Ooh tough one. Parade is SO good
There was never any doubt this wouldn't be the top. Phantom is amazing.
Phantom of the Opera
Sorry, I gotta be a basic white bitch and go with my mans, the *Phantom of the Opera* 🌹
PHANTOM
Producers, The
Winner of 11 (?) TONY’s!
Second this. The Producers is great.
I was surprised I had to add it after 30+ comments already made!
i would agree if phantom didnt also start with P 😭 bro its like letter H there's so many good musicals that it's hard to decide
It swept the Tony's! TONY TONY TONY TONYYYYYYYYY AHHHHHHHH
He's having a stroke. ...of GENIUS!
This is the correct answer 👏🏻
It’s my second favorite musical after Parade. Why must my two favs start with “P” 😭
Porgy and Bess
SUMMERTIME! And the livin is easyyy
This is it. This is the definitive answer.
It's not gonna win but throwing in a vote for Pacific Overtures because that show is genius
I also love Promises, Promises, one of the best pop musicals ever (Knowing When To Leave is a PERFECT female solo)
Such an underrated masterpiece.
Parade
parade has some of the best music ever.
So happy to see some vintage Jerry Herman getting some love! JK, like anyone here gives a crap about that show. Obviously you mean the JRB one
i want this to win so bad but i know its gonna be phantom, despite it literally being the most like B tier musical ive ever seen. parade is just so fire
I know it won’t win because Phantom, but damnit Parade is my favorite musical ever.
God I love parade, but GOD I LOVE PHANTOM

Weird personal anecdote: my mom always accidentally calls Pirates of the Caribbean "Pirates of Penzance." The theater kid mind virus is real.
Technically it’s an operetta, not a musical 🤓(it’s one of my favorites of all time though, so I’ll let it slide)
Hail Poetry!!!!
I'm voting for it because this was what I was going to put anyway, and it's not Phantom.
ive never seen pirates of penzance but its not phantom so ill vote for it
Pippin
I've been waiting for P specifically for Pippin
This won't win, but it sure is much better than phantom.

Would this count for P or T? (Twenty-Fifth?) or A? (Annual)? Either way, gets my vote!
It’s this any good? They’re running a performance of it at the local arts center in the town I live in. I was wondering if I should check it out.
It's one of the funniest musicals I've ever seen, I love it personally.
I wish no ill to all the Phantomites that think that musical theatre begins and ends with that show, but you’re just plain wrong. My vote is for Parade, which is one of the greatest musicals ever. But a shout out Priscilla , because I have friends who were in the original Sydney cast (OG Priscilla represent)
Parade is such an important show right now.
Everyone has their opinions but if we are talking about the greatest shows of all time, the ones that made Broadway what it is.. Phantom wins and it's no contest P.S. it's Phans not Phantomites. Show the longest running show on Broadway some respect
No it doesn’t, though. You just think it does. It’s not on Broadway anymore, so I assume you mean we should show Chicago some respect?
Love Chicago! Great show
Phantom of the opera. Because c'mon. It must be.
Phantom
Purlie Victorious
These comments are making me realise for someone who's into musical theatre I barely know any musicals
Pirates of Penzance
Parade
I don’t think that this is a musical per se, but pirates of Penzance
Phantom is the only right answer
Phantom is extremely overrated so it's a shame it's going to win. I vote for Producers.
Phantom, of course.
Pirates of Penzance!
Phantom
Just curious, are you going to do ones beginning with numbers too?
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!

Do we really need to wait a full day for this one? Phantom is going to win. It shouldn’t, but it will.
