Didn't we do something like this back when the Tonys were on? My answer to every single one of these is "other" but I feel the need to vote for only one, because of the painful exclusion of both Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein, two of the greatest musical theatre composers of all time, far better than any of the composers listed, in the "Best Composer" category. My vote would go to Sondheim, but I'd be happy to see Bernstein take it.

I agree with those, but like it says at the top, I was doing shows from this season and the RECENT PAST, as in the past 3 - 4 years. And no, I searched it and I couldn't find anything like this.

Far as Bernstein goes, ok. But Road Show last year and Sondheim on Sondheim coming up isn't recent enough?

ughh. Look, I get you don't like me, but can't I just for once make a comment or a thread without you criticizing every single thing I do? It's starting to drive me crazy. This is one of my favorite websites, and having you and some other people yell at me every day, is really annoying.

I never yelled. I pointed out that Sondheim has recently been represented and will be again in the near future. In fact, I completely forgot to mention that he's represented on Broadway right now.

You also said that you couldn't find the thread I was referring to, so I found it. I don't see where I criticized you or yelled at you.

Sorry to nit-pick Jason (and you know how much I love your posts) but technically West Side Story is based off of a play. But I agree with almost every thing else you wrote on here. And DANG! I forgot all about Janet! Now I regret putting Laura Bell, who I don't like that much in the first place. *edits*
