4) Finian's Rainbow
5) Guys and Dolls
6) Kismet
7) Kiss Me Kate
8) Merrily We Roll Along

And, if you're a musical theatre buff, I highly recommend the following books:
The Theatermania Guide to Musical Theater Recordings, edited by Michael Portantiere
and Reading Lyrics, edited by Robert Gottlieb and Robert Kimball
