Avenue Q was great! I didn't know it had been running for so long.

and... I missed The Lion King because I typed in "The Lion King" but you apparently only accept "Lion King." Maybe you ought to fix that.

Done! 'The Lion King' is certainly acceptable - and most correct. (Sorry, and thanks)

My favorite is still Les Miserables. I've seen it 8x - including its opening season on the West End when noone had heard of it. (Not bad for someone from Chicago)

Tobacco Road and Life with Father are not musicals - they are plays.
