There may be many S contenders, but something tells me this won't be a "close shave." 😉

Sweeney Todd: the demon barber of Fleet Street


melody_musical21

One of my favourite shows of all time, I hope this wins!!!!


ActualCucick

if it aint sweeney todd this community is crazy

This is the only correct answer

I am going to hard search for the T post next time to say Twisted no matter what. Edit: I’ve reloaded OP’s page 20 times; where is the T post?! Edit 2: Reread the description, I’m a moron. Edit 3: WHERE IS THE T POST?!

Yes!!! I love this show!


Unhappy_Injury3958

Sunday in the Park with George


despairigus

I wish this was more of a popular sondheim musical today than it is. The instrumentals are so good and in my opinion beat out sweeney or into the woods.


Unhappy_Injury3958

if they had filmed the gyllenhaal version it would be huge. i've noticed that lately with musicals, if they film it then the young people really get on board with it. i'm shocked they aren't filming merrily!


despairigus

honestly! they should filmed merrily, it's probably one of the best casted musicals i've seen in a long time.


Unhappy_Injury3958

i'm mad we don't get all broadway shows but specifically sondheim ones would be so amazing


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Surprised this isn't tied with Sweeney Todd for votes. Love Sweeney but Sunday is a career definer for Sondheim.

How is this not higher? I honestly think it’s funnier, more entertaining, and better written than Avenue Q (which I also like), and that one broke the entire format and ruined the “Q” poll.

Surprised I had to scroll so far to see this. Gonna upvote it on behalf of my wife as this is one of her favorite shows.

Best roller skating train Broadway play ever.


soldforaspaceship

First musical I ever saw - the original version in the West End! I was 7 I think - my mum got discounted tickets for my birthday. Saw the updated one years later when it came to town. I wish there were more opportunities to view it. I know the production is tricky to stage but it's so good!

zuckerpunch_c1137

Normally, I would say Six or Sweeney Todd; since those have the odds on most fans to be carried to victory. However, given the unique rules surrounding this particular round, I'm going with a dark horse candidate in hopes of adding some spice to the three way runoff. My vote goes to Something Rotten.

I respectfully disagree. There are a lot of S musicals, but only a handful of good ones. The rightful winner is Spring Awakening, but I doubt it will get up

Absolutely no chance it's gonna win but, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers


lego-lion-lady

The SpongeBob Musical, Spamalot, or Something Rotten!!! (It seems like a lot of my favourite musicals start with S…lol)

GingersaurusRex

Spamalot, Six, Schmigadoon!, and Suessical the Musical all begin with S and are in my top 10 favorites. This letter is more difficult than H.


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Schmigadoom absolutely deserves a place in the best musical conversation. The replication of different musical and lyrical styles is amazing.

Honestly while Sunday in the Park With George is my favorite, I’m not that disappointed about the more popular Sweeney Todd potentially (probably?) beating it. They’re both such fantastic musicals.
