Director Bob Fosse was anything but faithful when he adapted this Kander and Ebb tuner set in 1930s Berlin. Major characters were dropped along with most of the songs as the story zoomed in on the Kit Kat Kub, where American singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) lived a bohemian existence under the growing shadow of Nazism. A romantic and terrifying evocation of a unique moment in history, the film is elevated by the iconic performance of Joel Grey as the subversive Emcee singing "Money, Money" and "If You Could See Her." And that stirring anthem "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," sung by a wide-eyed member of the Hitler Youth? Absolutely chilling.

Thanks to an unusual combination of established hits and who’d-a-thunk-it crowd-pleasers from Shakespeare, Beckett and Pinter, Broadway has bounced back forcefully from the flops, flat ticket revenues and thin audiences that battered business a season earlier.

Focus racks deep into the lunar terrain of Anne Hathaway’s face as tears the size of boulders begin to tumble down her cheeks. She sings, “The world was a song and the song was exciting,” but she might as well be singing about all the big-screen adaptations of Broadway musicals this film version of “Les Miserables” unleashed like a tidal wall of fan-kicking chorines.

One of the most exciting things to happen on Broadway in the last few decades has been the onslaught of first-rate revivals of classic musicals. In the old days, revivals were frequent and often short-run reproductions of the original staging of a show — sometimes not in a typical Broadway house — playing instead at City Center or Lincoln Center's New York State Theater. Then, there were the star packages with originals stars recreating their signature performances, in some cases in seeming perpetuity, such as Yul Brynner in The King and I or Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly!

It’s Broadway week where I live in New York, so I thought it might be a good time to list what I consider the greatest Broadway musicals by decade. I realize this list might make someone question my sexuality, but yes, I’m a straight man, and yes, I love Broadway musicals. (As Jerry Seinfeld might say though, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”)

What are the greatest American musicals of the Golden Age? It’s an enjoyable enough parlor game to be played in a post-show reverie over Manhattans and gin-and-tonics on the red-checked tablecloths of Joe Allen’s.

We’ve come to expect films, TV, literature and songs to tackle drug and alcohol use and addiction. But musicals, with their prescribed jollity and often underage audience members, are an improbable medium to tackle such heavy content. Also, the inebriated generally don’t dance a good soft shoe. But as the subject of addiction is no longer taboo—and therefore easier to approach with a little levity—a growing number of intrepid lyricists and directors are going where very few had previously dared. With New York City’s self-promotional “Broadway Week” upon us (September 1 to 14), it seems apt to give props to our 10 favorite substance use musicals.
