The list of the 101 best has been reevaluated by the authors for this edition, and new shows include Avenue Q, The Drowsy Chaperone, Grease, Grey Gardens, Sunday in the Park with George, and Wicked.

Rating : - Updated Version of Great Book
Whenever I encounter a new version of a book, my primary concern is "what has changed?" Included in the hardcover, but not seen in this edition were "A Connecticut Yankee," "Destry Rides Again," "Dubarry was a Lady," "George White's Scandals...," "Full Monty," and "Les Miserables." Included in this paperback version (not in the hardcover) are "Avenue Q," "Drowsy Chaperone," "Grease," "Grey Gardens," "Sunday in the Park with George," and "Wicked." Having seen each of these musicals, I cannot believe that anyone of an educated opinion finds "Grease" to be more artistically significant than "Les Miserables." Further, while "Grey Gardens" featured one sensational performance, it was far from a peak achievement as a musical. I find the need to own both editions. People who don't may prefer this more conveniently sized paperback with its updated photos and inclusion of more recent popular Broadway artists.
