Musicals

Wicked
Les Misérables
Phantom of the Opera
Oliver!

I know, incredibly standard. They're really really good, though.

I haven't seen it but Avenue Q looks pretty good.

 

I *adore* musicals. Unfortunatley, I haven't seen many. I suggest Moulin Rouge if you haven't seen it. It's amazing. If you have, hey, it can never hurt to hear that gorgeous scotsman belting out love songs, can it?

 

As Joey listed, the five musicals are incredibly good (I've only seen Wicked, but I've heard the soundtrack of all the musicals).

As for more musicals:
- Hairspray (I thought the movie did a better job than broadway )
- Spring Awakening (It's a sexual musical, and it has LGBT content - one of the guys is gay)
- Rent (the broadway shows ENDS somewhere in June/July. Don't fret, the movie is surprisingly good too)

Across the Universe is extremely incredible. Words cannot describe my pleasure of having seen it (con: it's not a staged musical. pro: you get to look at Jim Sturgess haha)

 

CABARET!!!
CABARET!!!
CABARET!!!

It's gayer then gay...with a little nazi ontop.

 

Sweeney Todd is good too if you don't mind blood! :badgrin:

 

Joey, you like Wicked too?...I had no idea!

Chicago is pretty awesome too, as well as all those shown above

 

just a question out of curiosity. why are you wanting to find out about musicals? is it just to expand your knowledge or are you looking into performing them?

 

i know that feeling all too well. but i am no good at acting or dancing either. it didn't stop me though...

 

Wicked is my favourite, i've seen it 3 times!

 

I've never seen any musicals.

 

Oh you gotta check out Cabaret.

It's awesome. Just for the parts with the master of cermonys.

I love it. Soo seductive.

The ending sucks though. You might as well catch the movie? It won best picture for it's time I do believe.

 

My faves:

Phantom of the Opera
Hairspray
The Wedding Singer
Wicked
Cats

Those are all really good. I recomend them all.
