I've been a fan of Broadway musicals since I was in high school. I've seen quite a few productions of them done as well as TV and Movie adaptations of them. I'd thought I'd share with you some of my personal favorites.

 

-Avenue Q

-The Book of Mormon

-Spring Awakening

-I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

-Newsies

-Hairspray

-Little Shop of Horrors

etc.

 

What are some of your favorites?

Disney's Beauty and the Beast

Camelot

Gypsy

Guys and Dolls

Crazy For You

Showboat

Disney's Aladdin

 

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite, after that it's hard to put them in order. I've seen Camelot and Gypsy in different productions that varied in quality, but overall, the shows themselves are among the best. Guys and Dolls is a decent show but I added it among my faves because of a perfect production I once saw. Crazy For You is just breathtaking when it's done well; it's so intricate and loaded with fun and music. Showboat was done by Papermill Playhouse in new Jersey (and was actually filmed and aired on PBS many years ago) and is not to be missed. Aladdin is just a lot of fun and takes its cues from a lot of unused material that never made it into the animated movie. I could add others like Phantom and Les Miz for that matter; just too many to name them all.  :sunbutt:

The Music Man

Guys and Dolls

Annie Get Your Gun

Anything Goes

West Side Story

 

 

Those five come to mind immediately. I saw the revival of Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway with Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat in 2000, and it was absolutely phenomenal. There are so many more great shows to choose from, too...

 

 

...but The Sound of Music is not one of them. I've been IN that show, and I have to say I absolutely hate it. Sorry!
