Oh, I forgot about The King and I! It might have to take the place of one on my top 5. Also, The Lion King was extraordinary because at all times the stage was a piece of artwork. I've never seen that before. And surely it must have had the best opening scene in the history of theater! (Pre-Lion King, I guess the Broadway production of Hair had the most dramatic opening scene.)
