Over the years, musicals have left a lasting mark on the world. Whether it’s the live acting, storytelling elements or hit songs, everyone can’t get enough. We don’t need to be theater geeks to appreciate cult classics like West Side Story or The Sound of Music. Luckily, we’ve composed a list of the best musicals for you! So, it’s time to reminisce on all the classics and even some new Broadway hits. Have many of these have you seen? Let’s find out!
Hamilton
If you never heard of Hamilton you must be living under a rock. Lin-Manuel Miranda made history with his musical that won eleven of its sixteen nominations at the Tonys. If you loved Miranda’s In the Heights, then get ready to be blown away! Hamilton tells the story of America’s Founding Fathers but from the point of view of an immigrant. Unfortunately, tickets have been almost impossible to get. So, if you can’t get your hands on a pair, make sure you at least enjoy the Grammy winning soundtrack.

Wicked
Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, Wicked puts a twist on Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This time, the witches get to share their side. Impressively, Wicked won three Tonys, a Grammy and six Drama Desk Awards. If you’ve seen it, we all know what you’re going to be singing the rest of the day…”I’ll help you be popular!” With catchy songs like that, it’s no wonder this musical is Broadway’s seventh longest-running one in history.
