Vote For The Best Musical Of The 1990s!

After voting on the best new and revival musicals of the 2000’s, the 1990s wants theatre nerds to vote on the best new musicals.

Eligible musicals follow these 2 rules:

1. The musical must’ve won the Tony Award for Best Musical

2. That musical must’ve won that award during the 1990

Understand? Good.

#1 Rent

Is there anything to say about Rent that hasn't been said already? Because I can say without a doubt, this will be No.1!

Parade is a beautifully written gut-wrenching musical, which should have won over this show.
