13. Showboat
I have a copy of the 1936 version with Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River".

I also like "Flower Drum Song" and "Cabaret".

For newer musicals, I like "The Fix" which is about a ne'er-do-well Senator's son who is groomed for political power by his dragon lady mother and his gay crippled uncle after his father - who had presidential aspirations - dies in the arms of his mistress. It played in London and in Washington D.C. and was a critical favorite, but did not do much business.
