And I haven't seen Next to Normal, but I really want to. I heard it was amazing.
The trouble with little-know musicals is that most of them suck. If they didn't, they'd likely be better known, at least in the right circles.
That said, here's a few you've heard of that rank among my all-time fav's. a few you likely heard of, and a few you likely never heard of that are all terricic:
