Of these, Aida, Annie Get Your Gun, Cats, Seussical, Charlie Brown, Miss Saigon, and 2 of the 5 productions of Oklahoma were professional productions at AEA theaters. Most of the rest were regional, community or high school productions that I was hired to play.
Some of the shows that I've seen in various professional productions include:
Cabaret (Philadelphia)
Cats (Philadelphia)
A Chorus Line (Philadelphia)
The Drowsy Chaperone (London)
Les Miserables (Broadway and Philadelphia)
Man of La Mancha (Philadelphia)
Phantom of the Opera (London and Philadelphia)
The Producers (Broadway)
Wild Party (Philadelphia)
Purely from my perspective as a musician, The Who's Tommy was far and away the most fun to play. I would have a hard time picking the "best" production that I've seen or participated in based on any other criteria.
