What about Show Boat? The first racially integrated musical -- examining racism, segregation, and depicting an interracial marriage in the 1920s?

How bout Kiss of the Spider-Woman? Or maybe the most influential/controversial broadway show of the 20th century, A Streetcar Named Desire? Hard to imagine any of the "sex musicals" listed here existing without Marlon Brando's bare chest leading the way. Oh Calcutta, Assassins, Sweeny Todd, and The Beard should be on this list, imo.

Broadway musicals have never been something I am interested in. Doing something racy is all that they seem to want to do. Rocky Horror is great and I love the movie.

Seems, to me, to be more controversial than West Side Story or Rent, even given the time periods of release. Fun list – thanks for the clips! what about Oh, Calcutta!
