I'm not a big musical theater guy so I'll throw this out there for the crowd.

What's the "biggest" musical of the 2000s? It has to be Hamilton, right? Before that, it would have been Wicked, I'm thinking? These are things I've heard of and seem to have substantial cultural impacts and I'm not sure I could name another from the last 20 years.

This came up as we watched Prince of Egypt and the music was done by Stephen Schwarz who did Wicked and I was talking with my wife saying, I think I'd say he's responsible for the 2nd biggest musical this "century" (I get it, we're only 20 years in) and so it's a bit odd that his music in that was somewhat disappointing.
