Top 25 Musicals of All Time

25. The Wizard of Oz

I almost forgot to put this musical on my list altogether. Even though it doesn't have many songs I can call my favorite, it has spawned several other musicals that do. The story is great, Judy Garland is great, and it is one of the first musicals I remember watching as a child. If you ask someone if they like the Wizard of Oz and they say "no"... they are lying. Or have no soul.

Favorite Song: "Optimistic Voices". Although it's common to love "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", I actually adore the Optimistic Voices as the team runs through the poppy field and into the Emerald City. It's peppy and harmonious, and very time-appropriate.
 
Favorite Character: Scarecrow

Media: 1939 Film
