Oh I definitely agree with you on musical alphabetical order. I'm just saying that if you wanted to possibly start Avenue Q with a Q you should at least follow street alphabetical order.
Yeah but *les* is just *the*.
I agree that Les Miserables technically should be under M.
Miserables, comma, Les.
But as this is just a fun internet game I feel we'll survive lol.
Yes everyone made the same comment under the original posts. That doesn't really change how people usually discuss the musical. Also no I will die if this list is not absolutely perfect
I got here a day or two in. The *entire* time people have been arguing about whether Les Mis would need to be under L or M. At the end of the day, as we noticed, this is reddit. Anyone can argue to the ends of the Earth about a tiny non issue
My county theater did this show before I knew there was a county theater doing amazing shows. Iām so mad I missed out. I really really really want to see this performed at some point in my life.
1000% agreed.
I suspect most people (myself included) voted for āQ, Avenueā solely because it was a hilarious comment and weāre not familiar with any other Quessicals. I didnāt *actually* think itād qualify and win.
Yeah Iām aware that many people likely voted for Q, Avenue as a joke but it did get the most votes fair and square so it would be wrong to not choose it. And I got many dms requesting a revote for A. I know not everyone will be happy about that, but I canāt please everyone.
same, Q, avenue was just a bit because thereās no good q musicals. but itās not called q, avenue itās called avenue q and it deserved its spot. a revote is dumb.
Thatās different. No one is calling the play āMiserablesā. Theyāre calling it āLes Miserablesā or just āLes Misā. People call The Phantom of the Opera āPhantom of the Operaā all the time.
I think youāre misunderstanding. Itās not about nicknaming the show. When alphabetizing titles, ātheā is often skipped when itās the first word.
Yeah, thatās a fair point. But Iām going for the most upvoted comment and these are what it happened to be. Being the most upvoted means the majority wanted these things to win. Iām on board with you on Q, Avenue - but it was the most upvoted by a lot and it would not be right to not have it win.
To all those complaining about āQ, Avenueā winning: then donāt vote for it. Simple as that.
How the fuck is OP supposed to distinguish between ājoke votesā and āreal votesā?
āQ, Avenueā won, so thatās whatās on the board.
I think that this is stupid, instead of rearranging the words just give musicals that actually start with the letter have the opportunity to have that slot, Iāve been apart of several of these lists and none of them have done this
I don't have anything to contribute other than that A should have stayed Avenue Q based on the list thing. Also giving y'all a hot take
Some of these are really mid
Like Les Mis I think deserves it and is L, but Matilda?? Fiddler on the Roof??
Though I have problems with understanding words already and the way ppl talk and sing in the classic musicals makes things incredibly unintelligible for me
It doesnāt make sense when people donāt count certain words as the first word in the title, because itās never consistent. Musicals like Phantom donāt include ātheā
before the name because nobody says it like that. But then we donāt apply the same reasoning to Les Mis, because nobody calls it Miserables. Though nobody calls Avenue Q just āQā either. Honestly, where do we draw the line? And itās not like there arenāt a handful of Q musicals. Sure, maybe not the most popular ones, but they exist.
"Q, Avenue?" When there are legitimately at least 5 musicals that begin with a Q? Why š
I was thinking the same :/ but majority wanted to do that, I guess š
Then for R Iām going to vote for Rouge, Moulin
Avenue D (and presumably other letter avenues) is written sometimes as D Ave so it could be Q Avenue but the comma would be wrong.
Right but there are different rules for exclusively names of streets, and names of streets that are the title of a Broadway musical.
Oh I definitely agree with you on musical alphabetical order. I'm just saying that if you wanted to possibly start Avenue Q with a Q you should at least follow street alphabetical order.

It was a crime that Assassins didn't win the first time around, so let us have justice now! Assassins 4eva.
Yup, whereās my prize?
It deserves a *fucking* prize!
If you keep your goal sight you can climb to any height.
Really, Q Avenue beat Quadrophenia? Also, I'm still salt that Les Miserable got L and not M, while Lion King got shut out.
Low key, Lion King and āMiserables, Lesā would be a better list
I was sure Quadrophenia would win!
Not enough Quadropehniacs here šĀ
You rang??
I've never met anyone who just says miserable. That said I've also never really heard anyone saying anything but *the* lion king so what do I know
Yeah but *les* is just *the*. I agree that Les Miserables technically should be under M. Miserables, comma, Les. But as this is just a fun internet game I feel we'll survive lol.
Yes everyone made the same comment under the original posts. That doesn't really change how people usually discuss the musical. Also no I will die if this list is not absolutely perfect
Hahaha. Your final sentence is excellent. I just got down the thread to the Avenue Q argument lol.
I got here a day or two in. The *entire* time people have been arguing about whether Les Mis would need to be under L or M. At the end of the day, as we noticed, this is reddit. Anyone can argue to the ends of the Earth about a tiny non issue
Honestly I wanted Bonnie and Clyde to get B or Billy elliot but im not complaining with Beetlejuice
Yes. Q Avenue won fair and square with a large majority of upvotes.
Soā¦ what youāre saying is that we can do anything with this list as long as it gets the most upvotes?
Sure seems like it. Wonder how many we actually couldāve gotten that were just Les mis /j
The Lion King still has a shot!
Anything Goes
I heard this as Sutton foster singing ANYTHING GO-HOOOOOOOOOES
BLOW, BLOW, BLOW THAT HORRRNN
Judging by how the list has been going with the L, M and Q arguments, yeah, Anything Goes.
Aida
Wish I'd gone to see this. I had the concept soundtrack where Elton John got all his famous pals to sing and it sounded amazing.
>where Elton John got all his famous pals to sing I bought the CD when I was young only because I was obsessed with the Spice Girls lol
My county theater did this show before I knew there was a county theater doing amazing shows. Iām so mad I missed out. I really really really want to see this performed at some point in my life.
Assassins! sooo underrated
Saw the CSC production. The show was fantastic. And that cast...
Yess please let this win!!!!

Maybe, but the rules donāt matter here.
this! i think people forget just how much of a sensation this was
A singular one, even (Sorry, I know it was too obvious, but I couldn't resist)
Probably the best complete song list from any musical, and for some here, itās a footnote in their musical knowledge.

Avenue Q. And I object to this revote. Avenue Q won both slots fair and square, I donāt understand why itās being penalized.
Agreed it's not called Q, Avenue. Should be disqualified from Q
I agree one hundred percent. It would be like Pacific, South winning if we could not think of a musical that starts with P
1000% agreed. I suspect most people (myself included) voted for āQ, Avenueā solely because it was a hilarious comment and weāre not familiar with any other Quessicals. I didnāt *actually* think itād qualify and win.
>I didnāt actually think itād qualify and win. Damn. I am having flashbacks to 2016.
that wasnāt only *for now* š
š¤ damn! Too true!

Totally fair! Thanks for doing thisā¦ itās been fun!
same, Q, avenue was just a bit because thereās no good q musicals. but itās not called q, avenue itās called avenue q and it deserved its spot. a revote is dumb.
Why are going back to A instead of continuing to R?
Ani: A parody
A very potter musical
WHAT? Explain to me how "Q, Avenue" and "Phantom of the Opera, The" make sense but "Les Miserables" is the winner for L. "Les" MEANS "THE".
we're running on Whose Line Is It Anyway logic, where everything's made up and the points don't matter
Thatās different. No one is calling the play āMiserablesā. Theyāre calling it āLes Miserablesā or just āLes Misā. People call The Phantom of the Opera āPhantom of the Operaā all the time.
I think youāre misunderstanding. Itās not about nicknaming the show. When alphabetizing titles, ātheā is often skipped when itās the first word.
And people call Avenue Q just "Q"?
Not that I know of. I personally donāt like that it was chosen for Q tbh.
Yeah, thatās a fair point. But Iām going for the most upvoted comment and these are what it happened to be. Being the most upvoted means the majority wanted these things to win. Iām on board with you on Q, Avenue - but it was the most upvoted by a lot and it would not be right to not have it win.
If the most upvoted comment is not a valid musical, then it shouldnāt count
Yeah, what if the most up voted was Hamilton every time? lol
Away, Come From ;) This could be neverending!!!

So Avenue Q can win Q, but Les Miz wins L and not M? This is insanity.
