I feel this really hard. Which is why my go to musicals tend to be the extremely predictable Les Mis, Phantom, which are also pretty weird and depressing and dark BUT!

A few that probably people might not know about, if anyone wants some recs?

-The French Les Mis, because it's way more social commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu1eyEvcEG0

-Notre Dame de Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XB7aftz6zY

-Jekyll and Hyde: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmxVjXtmSaA

And a few more but I've now forgotten. :/ Granted, there are a few love plots that underscore any of the above, which also make me gag, but that just tends to be shoehorned in there.

(Like no, seriously, at least listen to the Jekyll and Hyde song-- that's a song called Confrontation, which is basically the Victorian way of dealing with severe mental illnesses like dissociative states, or borderline, which was highly allegorical and horrifying, but somehow both horrifying and identifiable. Or, at least that's what I've found.)

(not OP)

I have extreme amounts of love for J&H -- I got so obsessed with it when it came out, ad it still is a comfort listen -- and Confrontation is amazeballs.

That said, I do have to warn people that while the music is gorgeous, the lyrics can be atrocious in places, and there is lots of telling-not-showing. And one of the tracks (Letting Go) is one I always skip because it manages to be both dull and borderline squicky for me.

Still. It's fun! And I have a vocal crush on both Anthony Warlow and Linda Eder (but AW especially). ♥

And seconding the rec for the original french concept album of Les Ms.
