So I'm the second fan of Wildhorn on this board, I also love SP and J&H (And the Count). You are not alone! :-)

I'm definitely a fan of many of his scores. I think The Scarlet Pimpernel is his best -- I love "Into the Fire", "Vivez!", and especially "Storybook". I enjoyed the first two versions of Jekyll & Hyde (pre-Broadway and Broadway). I thought that the post-Broadway tour of The Civil War that came to Chicago was quite stirring. I even liked the score of Dracula.

Unfortunately, I think he has a problem when it comes to choosing collaborators.

Wild for Wildhorn

OK, I guess that makes me No. 4. I love Wildhorn's stirring and romantic melodies.

* ''Jekyll & Hyde'': ''A New Life,'' ''This Is the Moment,'' ''Once Upon a Dream''
* ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'': ''Storybook,'' ''Only Love,'' ''Into the Fire''
* ''The Civil War'': ''Sarah,'' ''For the Glory,'' ''I'll Never Pass This Way Again''
* ''Bonnie & Clyde'': ''You Love Who You Love,'' ''This World Will Remember Me,'' ''How 'Bout a Dance?''

Wildhorn can't seem to get respect on Broadway, but his musicals are constantly being done in Japan, Korea and Europe.
