I’ve posted the Top 50 Musicals over the last couple of days, and now it’s time to look at all shows that have been submitted - 275 in total! Thank you for participating and submitting your lists, this was great fun
The scores (given in brackets) were calculated as follows: #1 received 10 points, #2 received 9 points,…, and #10 received 1 point, resulting in 55 points per entry/list. Incomplete and anonymous entries were discounted.
I ranked the musicals up to #102 (16 points), all shows which scored 15 points or less are merely listed. The logos you can see here represent musicals that weren’t mentioned even once.
A few weeks ago, TheatreFlashbacks (@theatreflashba1) on Twitter asked his followers to rank their ten favourite musicals, and compiled the Top 100 favourite musicals in a list. I loved that idea, but was very surprised by the outcome - I’d expected very, very different results. This is why I’d like to do the same here and find out Tumblr’s Top 50 Musicals!
To participate, please reply to this post / send me an ask / a dm with your Top 10 favourite musicals - ranked from 1 to 10.
Since every show will receive points depending on its ranking, I’ll ask you to rankexactly10 musicals, not more, not less.
It’s meant to be a list of your favourite musicals, not those you consider to be the best! Make sure to include the composer/lyricist if there a two different musicals of the same name, e.g. Cinderella (R&H vs. ALW).Movie musicals without stage adaptations do not count.
Please spread this post far and wide! The more people participate, the wider the variety of shows & the more representative the survey: reblog!
