It will be expanded to at least 130, maybe 140 from these 150 contenders. I am reformatting it slightly to include Broadway musicals, not that I have seen much of them.

And I was able to see Phantom and Love Never Dies for the first time when they were released online for a limited time in 2020. Here are the pools, some rankings within may change but not much.
