Favorite Musicals...

[GardenStateGirlie]

Well, I just found out today that my old high school is planning on doing Les Miserables next year (i'm insanely jealous, btw) which is one of my favorite shows of all time. So, in honor of this news my question is what are your favorite musicals? If you've not seen any, do you have a favorite musical soundtrack?

I'm not much of a fan of muicals. I like Fiddler. I like Guys & Dolls, though I hate the movie. I like My Fair Lady, though I've only seen the movie.

I was in Guys & Dolls a few years back. I played Sarah's friend Agatha but I was also one of the dance captains in the show so I went from playing a mission girl to stripping in Take Back Your Mink :laugh: I hated the movie version but the actual show is a good time.

Ahhh, just like the song: "Marissa, if you've ever been a lady to begin with..." :)

I've never seen Oklahoma. Does this mean Moe hit you on the head with a frying pan? (Explains a lot. :nod: :laugh: )

"Tommy" and "Mamma Mia!"

I'm so predictable

[dissention]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I totally love that movie and I've seen it in the theater so many damn times. I even used to perform in it. :eek:

[estranged4life]

obviously "Oklahoma" (since I live here and cannot escape from ever hearing it)

"Tommy"
"Grease"
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show"
"Seven Brides For Seven Brothers"

Curly?!?! That was some good casting on the part of the musical director :nod:

Sunset Blvd...I would love to have actually seen the show. Anything Goes ...I love the music. I really need to see Gypsy before Bernadette leaves the show. She was amazing as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun as well.

"Seven Brides For Seven Brothers"

I love this one too - bad message, lol, but otherwise great fun!

My ABSOLUTE favorite: Singing in the Rain. I'm surpised no one else mentioned it. The inestimable Gene Kelly at his finest.

I also love The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Fiddler on the Roof and Evita are not as much fun, but they do have wonderful music. "Where is the little girl I carried..." :: sniffle ::

Debbie was the one that liked it but it grew on me eventually (I still think the remastering on the DVD version is way below-average...Looks almost "Colorized", But coming from a "Turner" company I am not the bit surprised)

[Merf]

Grease.


Hi, I'm an uncultured loser.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Grease.


Hi, I'm an uncultured loser.

Yes. Yes you are. <333


When you come up here, we're going to have to go to NYC and see a real show... of the non-Grease-like variety :nod:

[Hawkeye]

Phantom of the Opera I guess.

[DeadliestPoison]

"Once More, With Feeling." AKA The Buffy Musical. Not only was it a completely random gimmicky episode, but it moved the plot forward. Yay, Buffy!

;)

[RoxyRockstar]

uggh...you mean i have to pick faves...

Well definitely Chicago. The movie was good but i would kill to have seen the version with Bebe Nuewirth & Ann Reinking in it! It was here at the paramount a few weeks back but i didn't get a chance to see it.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I want to be in that one someday.

Hello Dolly!!!!! I want to be in that one too.

Funny Girl & Funny Lady, I wish they would put that show back on the stage.

Les Mis is good as well as phantom but i have only seen video release..none live.

[RoxyRockstar]

OMG i can't believe i forgot Chorus Line & All That Jazz...oh and Follies & Gypsy & Hair!

[littlelies7]

The Phantom of the Opera
Les Mis (even though I have never seen it!)
Chicago (the '02 movie version)

I guess I'm not that cultured either... :p

[Villavic]

I guess you mean musical shows on theatres. In that case my definitive answer is BEAUTY & THE BEAST, no doubt. Followed by MAMMA MIA. I also liked Lion King, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Bombay Dreams. I didn't like Grease that much. Aida was cool also but not big deal.

About musical movies, Grease is the best. Weird I love this movie though that theatre muscial didn't impressed me that much.

[ShamHy89]

I love Les Miserables and Anything Goes and Godspell are fun. Annie is sweet and Chorus Line is touching. I enjoyed Phantom of the Opera too. This year we did Kiss Me Kate and it was a real crowd pleaser.

Gypsy

The all-girls school down the road is considering this one for next year. I would definitely audition. :nod:

Shamus :)
