Guys and Dolls? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?
Those add the humor you say you're missing.
I enjoy Les Mis because the music is so great (to me). I go to Phantom because I love my wife.

7 Brides is a terrible musical. Haven't seen Guys and Dolls, but if it's in the same vein, count me out.

Ever heard of opera? Not an American thing.

Have you seen Miss Saigon? RockyBalboa should avoid it.
joelvandyne
10/3/19 4:01pm
That might be my favorite of all time. Rocky Balboa might like the Engineer's songs.
