It is all Jerry Robbins ballets. He directed West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, On the Town, The King and I, Gypsy, Peter Pan and more. It was three hours of non-stop blowing. It was a battle.
It is hard to name one show as the most difficult. Some consider West Side Story the most difficult. I don't know. It does require the lead player to play in more styles than most other shows.
Three Penny Opera is a very challenging show. Kurt Weill wrote shows that were almost operatic.

I played West Side Story once a few years back. That was a killer! Got my vote. One of the hardest things I ever did.
