I would agree about Spring Awakening. Though it's certainly hard to compare two such different animals as Spring Awakening and Hairspray, both are great (I'd give the edge to SA personally), and SA was much more recent. Part of me didn't even think of it as having been much of a dance show. I know it won a Tony for it, and I love what Bill T. Jones did with the movement, but I don't even know if I'd say there has been any show that was a great original musical that really had exceptional dancing all the way through it since Kiss of the Spider Woman. At least in the sense that JayBee must have meant it. (For the record I know there was plenty of dancing in Hairspray but I don't remember any of it).
