Most people don't really care about musical theatre, or they don't know enough to care about it. I, however, am not most people, and I don't want most people to continue living in the dark. So I present to you: musicals you've probably never heard of, but you desperately need in your life regardless.

1. Big Fish

I'm definitely biased - this was the first musical I was ever in - but Big Fish is criminally underrated.

2. Ghost Quartet

There's something about these four amazingly talented performers that just captivates me, which is good because the storyline is so confusing that I have to be captivated to come close to understanding what's going on.

3. Hadestown: The Myth. The Musical.

This beautiful music perfectly tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, and the recording is live. You can hear everything as it happens, and it's beautiful. The voices of the actors work together perfectly. The story itself is heartbreaking, and Damon Daunno and Nabiyah Be portray the ill-fated lovers phenomenally. Amber Gray is astonishing as always in the role of Persephone, and I can't sing the praises of this musical highly enough.

4. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

Maybe you've heard of this one, but if you haven't listened to it yet, you're doing yourself a great disservice.

5. Preludes

So weird. This entire thing is so strange, and you may question why it was written, but that does not matter. It's just beautiful.
