Shows I really like that can be looked into FOR ROCKY STUDENTS

My personal top 5 good musicals that probably are sorta less well known (or at least less-performed) & deserve to be looked into by decade from 1940-1999 (my favorites are bolded): 1940s: Kiss Me Kate, Pal Joey, Carousel, Finian's Rainbow, South Pacific 1950s: Peter Pan, Two on the Aisle, The Pajama Game, Redhead, Flower Drum Song, New Girl in Town, and Damn Yankees (there's 7, I know, I couldn't decide) 1960s: The Fantasticks, Funny Girl, Mame, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Promises Promises, and Cabaret (because I have literally 0 self control this isn't even a top 5 it's a top whatever I'm feeling today) Okay obviously the top 5 is bull and it's only going to get worse so here's just some musicals for the next few decades with my top choice bolded: 1970s: Applause (which won the Tony,) Company, Follies, Godspell, Pippin, The Baker's Wife, Side By Side By Sondheim, Ain't Misbehaving, Sweeney Todd 1980s: 42nd Street, Merrily We Roll Along, La Cage Aux Folles, Chess, Sunday in the Park with George, Big River, Into the Woods, Carrie, Miss Saigon, City of Angels 1990s: Forever Plaid, Jekyll and Hyde, Once on This Island, The Secret Garden, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Sunset Boulevard, John & Jen, Songs for a New World, Victor/Victoria, Side Show, Titanic, Fosse (The 90s were incredible and I recommend this decade highly) And finally, I'm going to have to go by year for 2000s musicals. This is my jam but I'm giving you only a few because you have to be so, so, so careful with recent musicals. 2000: Contact, Bare, The Wild Party 2001: Tick... Tick.... Boom!, Urinetown, A Class Act, The Last Five Years 2002: Thoroughly Modern Millie, Sweet Smell of Success 2003: Amour, A Year with Frog and Toad 2004: Avenue Q, Caroline or Change 2005: Spamalot, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee 2006: Curtains, The Drowsy Chaperone, title of show (I can't pick between these genuinely) 2007: Spring Awakening, 13, A Tale of Two Cities 2008: In the Heights, The Story of My Life 2009: Billy Elliot, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Bonnie and Clyde, Wonderland I wouldn't personally go more recent than that. But that's just me though.
