I love musicals! One of the many stereotypically gay part of me I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show a few days ago and thought the songs were really awesome! Hedwig and the Angry Inch was awesome too

Mama is going to rant now: Gosh I HATE Andrew Lloyd Webber! His musicals are gaudy, garish, tawdry, kitsch and pretentious! He's the musical version of costume jewellery! Good: Evita Meh: Phantom of the opera, Sunset Boulevard Bad: Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Starlight Express Worst: Joseph and the technicolour Dreamcoat. ARGH! Sondheim is so much better.
@ Mama: Sondheim FTW!!! I mean everything he touches turns to pure gold. Umm, I don't really know if anything hasn't been said at some point, but here they are: Rent - Umm, all of it Haha. Probably Out Tonight/Another Day though Chicago - When You're Good to Mama and Cell Block Tango Hairspray - Welcome to the 60's and Without Love Gosh, for how much I love musicals, I haven't actually seen that many on stage or in movie form. I just get the soundtracks from the library and then wish that I could see them on stage. Which reminds me, I heard that they were going to turn In the Heights into a movie. I don't know if it's true or not, but if it is, I hope they do a good job. And I know that this is getting off topic, but has anyone heard of Next to Normal? It's up for a bunch of Tony Awards this year. I've only heard two of the songs, but what I've heard I love. Sorry for getting off topic.:icon_wink
I never thought of myself as much of a musical fan, but looking back at how many I watch...wow... Sweeney Todd: Worst Pies in London, A Little Priest Rocky Horror Picture Show: Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite Little Shop of Horrors: Dentist!, Mean Green Mother A Funny Thing Happened: Comedy Tonight Hairspray: You Can't Stop the Beat I've seen a lot more, but I like some better than others.
I am mildly obsessive over all the musicals by Jason Robert Brown (especially Parade and The Last 5 Years). Gaaah, so good!! But in terms of a list: The Last 5 Years - Any of the songs really, especially The Next Ten Minutes, If I Didn't Believe in You, I Can Do Better Than That Parade - It's Hard to Speak My Heart, Finale, All the Wasted Time, This Is Not Over Yet The Colour Purple - I'm Here Spring Awakening - Totally F'd, All That's Known Tick Tick Boom (I'm off to see it in London tomorrow!) - Come to your senses RENT - any song Les Misérables - I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own Songs for a New World - I'm Not Afraid of Anything, Stars and the Moon I think that's enough for now :lol:
My current dream role is Albin in La Cage Aux Folles. It mixes musical theatre and drag. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Rent - all of the songs are fantastic, but I particularly enjoy What You Own, Halloween, Goodbye Love, and Tango: Maureen. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Science Fiction Double Feature, Time Warp, Hot Patootie, Sweet Transvestite CURTAINS! - Thataway!, Show People, He Did It, The Woman's Dead
I'm so happy someone else appreciates Curtains! My old High School actually put on a performance of Curtains!, which was really good. I was really pleased with how well it turned out. I also really like the song It's a Business.
I'd switch Meh to Good, vise versa. My opinion, of course, but I thought Sunset and Phantom were FANTASTIC! I agree with the others, though.
As a huge theatre kid...I have a long list of favorite musicals! I'll only post my favorite favorites though... Spring Awakening: Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind; My Junk; The Guilty Ones West Side Story: America; Gee, Officer Krupke; Finale (The revival one always makes me tear up. :'() Reefer Madness: Little Mary Sunshine (See below! ); Murder!; The Stuff; Down at the Old Five and Dime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHWHFJTWEk4 The Producers: Basically the entire show. Sweeney Todd: Johanna (Quartet); Epiphany; Finale; A Little Priest Into the Woods: Your Fault/Last Midnight; Lament; Agony (Original and Reprise) And lots, LOTS more.
