MsMojo has recently uploaded a video on the top 10 ultimate Stephen Sondheim musicals. The list not only includes shows in which he wrote both music and lyrics, but also shows where he only wrote the lyrics.

Thoughts?

I consider Sweeney Todd the finest American musical ever written, so I can’t fault that at #1. However, I don’t think there’s any way that A Funny Thing is better than Follies.

I wonder what this list would look like without West Side Story and Gypsy.

One person who probably does agree with that is Christi Esterle, aka Diva from the YouTube channel Musical Hell; she says Follies is the one Stephen Sondheim show that she doesn’t like.

However, she does think Sweeney Todd is his best show.
