BROADWAY WEEK TOP 10 LIST: COMEDIES

Disclaimer: All of the Musicals and songs that I will include on these lists are from shows that I have seen or for which I know the soundtrack very well. I will not put on musicals or songs that I do not know. This probably means that there will be some glaring omissions in these lists, but they are MY best of Lists, so that's what they will be. (Also, these are all based on the work of the musical, how good the score/story/dialogue is, and not on individual performances that I have or haven't seen)

Monday: Comedies

Note: For the purpose of this list, a "comedy" will be any funny (dark comedies included) or happy musical. Remember, in Shakespeare it was a comedy just as long as everybody got married at the end!
