On Broadway - Best Musicals of the last fifty years

Below is a list of 15 plays that won the Tony Award for Best Musical, three from each of the past five decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s). To get maximum pointage for today's Timeline challenge you must:

Place each musical into its correct decade (one point each, remember there are three per decade)
Order them from oldest to newest with each decade (one point each). It is not necessary to list the year.

Use the Freebies list for clues.

Note: Tony Awards are presented in the spring, so the play opened the previous year.




1970s

Applause
A Little Night Music
A Chorus Line...my dad's 1st cousin was in the original Broadway cast. He was a dancer on Broadway for many years.

1980s
