Is ‘Hamilton’ the top Broadway musical of all time?
The Times asked me to cite my “five top musicals,” but I don’t have five. I have 25, 100, 250. This rich art has thrown off countless wonderful or admirable or brilliant shows, so we need to specify what makes a musical “top.” I define it as a work that caps an ongoing artistic development of its age while springing forward to the next age.
Where would you rank “Hamilton” among your top musicals?
