Get excited, Sondheim lovers. Sondheim haters, too. (If you've even heard of Sondheim, you're probably gonna love this.) We're out to determine what is the best musical-theater production ever to grace a Broadway stage. By ever, we actually mean within the last 30 years, because that makes things simpler. (For the all-time question, do you bring in vaudeville? Opera? Who knows.)
We've selected 16 incredibly worth titles, and cheekily divided our bracket into two halves: Art and Commerce. (We know, it's a subjective distinction—you can save your letters about how artistic Jersey Boys is.) And you will decide the winner. Just click on any of the pairings below and tell us which show you prefer. Then tell your friends to weigh in. Sorry, Carrie fans: No write-ins.
