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.
