Tumblr's Top 50 Musicals - Survey

In 2022, I wanted to find out Tumblr's Top 50 Musicals after seeing similar surveys on Reddit and Twitter. Now, three years and lots of new musicals later, I'm excited to see if anything has changed. So here's the 2025 survey!

To participate, please reply to this post / send me a non-anonymous ask / a dm with your Top 10 favourite musicals - ranked from 1 to 10, with 1 being your absolute favourite, until 11th June 2025.

Rules:

Since every show will receive points according to its ranking, I'm asking you to rank exactly 10 musicals, not more, not fewer.

Movie musicals and concept musicals without stage adaptations do not count. The musical MUST have a stage version.

Revivals/rewrites of a show count as the same musical, e.g. Bat Out Of Hell West End vs. Las Vegas.

Please include the composer/lyricist or another distinguishing element if there are at least two different musicals of the same name, e.g. Cinderella (R&H vs. ALW).

It's meant to be a list of your favourite musicals, not those you consider to be the best! There's no need to justify your choice.

The more people participate, the wider the variety of shows & the more representative the survey: please reblog!

Random example (not my favourites):

Into the Woods > gets 10 points

Company > gets 9 points

The King and I > gets 8 points

Beauty and the Beast (Disney) > gets 7 points

Rebecca > gets 6 points

Next to Normal > gets 5 points

Chess > gets 4 points

My Fair Lady > gets 3 points

Cabaret > gets 2 points

Wicked > gets 1 point

Please do not include the points, this is just for you to see how this survey works.

Once I've counted your list, I'll reply with "counted". You cannot change your ranking after this.

Live in my house, I'll be your shelter Just pay me back with one thousand kisses Be my lover, and I'll cover you Open your door, I'll be your tenant Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet But sweet kisses I've got to spare I'll be there, and I'll cover you
