My Top 20 Showstopping Singalong Musicals

This  is not to be confused with my favorite musicals of all time.  For example Next to Normal would be high on that list, but it's not exactly a sing a long musical so it's not on this list.  To qualify the show had to have three or more strong sing a long songs.  Jukebox musicals like Mamma Mia and American Idiot and musicals based on musical movies like Beauty and the Beast and Grease were not eligible.

20.. Guys and Dolls

Three best singalong songs: Three best singalong songs: Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat, Adelaide's Lament, I've never been in love before.
