I've played close to 100* different musicals now. Obviously, I have enjoyed most of them or would've stopped a long time ago.
For straight clarinet books (no doubling), Fiddler is of course a must but Man of La Mancha and My Fair Lady are just as much fun. Maury Yeston's Phantom is also a blast, and in general his shows (such as Nine) are so wonderfully orchestrated that even playing whole notes is fun. I'm working to get one of the local groups to do a concert version of Titanic in the near future.
I'm about to start a run of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, and that one may join Fiddler, etc. - but that is at least partially because it's one of my favorite shows to see.
In addition to the above, there are several shows that I would drop everything to go play tonight: Ain't Misbehavin', On the Town, Ragtime. Other recent shows that were a blast to play include Thoroughly Modern Millie (play the Reed 2 book - it has the jazz/dixieland clarinet solos), Seussical and Shrek (yoikes - 6 horns: flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano/tenor/bari saxes).
City of Angels, Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, etc. etc. etc. . . . yeah, they're on the list too, but the list is getting long!
On the other hand, I find the Rodgers and Hammerstein shows to be very boring to play, same with old-time operettas (e.g. Student Prince) and Gilbert and Sullivan.
*Current count is 93 (plus 3 more where I've played the entire book in rehearsal, but not performance), with Gentleman's Guide and Urinetown being added to the list later this year.
