Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I espicially love Annie and The Sound of Music!

Grease is one of the longest running.

Probably the Wizard of Oz is the most well-known, but Sound of Music would be right there with it.

Phantom of the Opera, internationally famous.

Hmm. Rent or We will rock you oh or WIcked

Jerry Springer - the Musical

The King and I

HAIR

Grease....Hands Down!

West Side Story
Grease

Sound of Music or RENT, because they've been translated into tons of languages.
Wicked is a close candidate, too.

Cats

Wizard of Oz

It would be either Les Miserables or The Phantom of the Opera

Depends on how you look at it.
Some of the long-time toppers are probably The Sound of Music (a lot of Rodgers and Hammerstein, but particularly this one), The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, The Lion King (been running on Broadway for quite a while, even if many would not consider it among the top musicals), and Les Miserables
Currently, Rent and Wicked are hot on Broadway, despite Rent's closing in June.
As for up and coming shows, Spring Awakening seems to be doing quite well. I have also heard from a few that one of the newest additions to Broadway, a show called In the Heights, is quite good and may be the next big thing. We'll see.

Miss Saigon was my favourite. I also loved Les Mis and Phantom.
