Musicals anybody?

The only musical I've seen on Broadway is Mamma Mia and loved it, so was thrilled when it came out in theatres years later and Meryl Streep (the best actress ever :icon_wink ) was in one of the starring roles!

Anyway, I also really like Rent, Grease and sometimes I'll have a listen to Hairspray, though I haven't seen it in a lonnnnnnng time.

 

I've only seen the ones I've been asked to work for, but RENT and Hair have definitely been my favorites so far.

 

By "Hair," are you talking about Hairspray?

 

my favorites are the phantom of the opera and the sound of music. : )

 

I too absolutely love musicals:
Will go and see 'Rocky Horror Show' next week.
But defo love Phantom,Les Miserables and for a bit of fun(and me laughing at Americans..no offence intend) 'Trailertrash'.
And yes, 'Hair' seems to come back into fashion again...

 

Repo: The Genetic Opera is my favorite movie, other than that, I love Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Wicked and Little Shop of Horrors.

 

Repo! The Genetic Opera, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Little Shop of Horrors are my top five musicals.

The Phantom of the Opera will always have a soft spot in my heart though.

 

Not really a huge musical person, but my favorite would definitely be Sweeney Todd.

 

I saw "Cabaret" in Stratford, ON. It was spectacular!

It was very lively, with some of the actors coming into the audience.

And it also had the very dark aspect of the movie. It was amazing!

Oh, and I also saw "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris." There's not much to the musical, but vocally, it was AMAZING. oh my god!

 

Dr. Horrible: Sing Along Blog, the first musical i've ever watched! Neil Patrick Harris + Felicia Day + Nathan Fillion + Joss Whedon = Ubber Fun!

I watched another musical on youtube, called Bare: A Pop Opera. I really loved it. The story and the lyrics/songs are awesome! Now i'm a new fan of Michael Arden, he rocks.

There is another one, The Book of Mormon (with Andrew Rannells), but i only listened to the musical album.

 

Repo! The Genetic Opera :lol: I know every word of the entire movie >.<

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Loved it. First thing I seen on Broadway

 

I'll second that Niko.

 

My favorites that I have seen so far are Sound of Music, Grease and Phantom of the Opera

 

The only musical I like is Sweeney Todd because it's gorey.

 

Definitely, "Into the woods."

Fairy tales, comedy, drama. It's great.

 

Geez, this is really hard to say. Of the ones that had an impact on my life, I'd say "Next to Normal", "Bare" (the 2007 original cast recording, the NYC production that's closing today is...OK. Good subject matter redeems bad singing at times), "Avenue Q" (a good bit of fun!), "RENT", "American Idiot".

People mention Phantom in this thread - I fell asleep. But that may have been because I was in a horrible seat, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to not being able to see anything. However, I did like another ALW musical, "Jesus Christ Superstar", but that's obviously completely different.

In terms of pure entertainment value, "Book of Mormon" is completely awesome. I've seen it like 7 times or so!
