Well, get back to me when you've been Eulalie. Then we'll talk.

Because it's amazing.

It's a tough pick between Phantom of the Opera and The Sound of Music...

[Arty the Musician 12]

Weber´s Phantom of the Opera and Evita, both filmed.

[Kaborer 164]

Avenue Q is right up there. For those who have never heard of it think Sesame Street gone, horribly, horribly adult. I am not gonna give away to much but I absolutely love it. This Musical is just soooooooooooo funny. I am gonna have to add Lion King, Les Miserables to this list too. But, trust me go and see Avenue Q if you can. You will be thanking me.

 

It's the only musical I've ever seen and it's brilliant. Needless to say it's to say it's my favourite.

[Tenshinohana 264]

Oh god, my favorite topic, MUSICALS!

 

I've always been a fan of musicals. I, myself, have been in Grease. I was only an understudy for Jan, tho. But it was cool, and I still love Grease.

 

The Sound of Music is a classic. It was probably one of the first musicals I've ever seen (if you don't count Disney films, at least.) DO, A DEER, A FEMALE DEER...

 

And My Fair Lady has also very fond memories.

 

But I have to say, that my ultimate favorite musical is Wicked. I loved The Wizard of Oz when I was little, but somehow I just loved Wicked even more (I rarely like spin-offs/different point of view stories more than the original story). But the music... AH. The story... AH.

 

ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE MUSICAL EVER. ( x million)

 

I also saw the Lion King musical on stage in New York. OMIGAWD IT WAS SO AWESOME! >w<

 

I still have to see Avenue Q. I've listened to the soundtrack and all, but haven't seen the original yet.

And I've had the DVD of West Side Story for at least a year now, and I haven't watched it yet...

[Autumn Skies 49]

I'm gonna have to say Little Shop of Horrors. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Even my high school did it for their fall play.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Phantom of the Opera... How can one not love the awesome music in this.

Cats...

Wizard of Oz... It's an instant classic.

The lion king, THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIFFFFEEEE!

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

Sweeny Todd Was awesome, They did overdo the blood but apart from that it was a fantastic movie.

But my all time favorite's would be, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Corpse Bride. I cant choose between them, they are both So Awesome

[Artemisia 166]

I really like Marilyn Monroes musicals (ie.Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-)

I also LOVE Dr.Horribles and like Sweney Todd

But Dr. Horrible-All the feels

[TheFabulousPony 102]

Lol I couldn't choose one... that would be impossible
- Wicked
- Grease
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- West Side Story
- Chicago
- Moulin Rouge!
- The Boy from Oz
- The Book of Mormon
there's more.. but yeah, I cant decide lol

[Aaramus 449]

Gah I have so many! 

 

If I was to choose just one it would have to be We Will Rock You! Simply because it's a musical based up Queen songs, the story is actually rather interesting and they way they fit the songs into the story is excellant.

 

Otherwise, Spamalot is ridiculously hilarious, Wicked is brilliant and The Lion King is simply amazing.

I have not favourite musical but a style of music that i love, two exactly, it is the nightcore and trance !

 

Particularly this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvaIgq5j2Q8

 

Fun

High School Musical

 

Oh I think you have the wrong thread. We're discussing good musicals

 

 

 

Love, love, LOVE into the woods.

 

I'm one of those people obsessed with Audrey. My Fair Lady is just stunning and THE COSTUMES simply to die for.

 

I must say I'm seriously disappoint by the amount of people saying Wicked and Phantom. I mean they're ok but they're hardly outstanding stage productions or films, just light entertainment...

 

Other ones that have to be up there for me are Fame, Guys & Dolls, Gypsy, The King and I, High Society, Hair, Evita, Chorus Line, Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, Fiddler On The Roof, Singing in the Rain, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, White Christmas

 

There are many more I love but then we'd be here forever.

 

Nothing beats West Side Story though. One of the most stunning creations to ever exist I think.

How did neither of you have Les Miserables on your list?

In my opinion, it's about as close as you get to a perfect musical. Not only are there several, intertwining interesting stories, they also portray a very important time of history, and how it effected some of the poor. Each story inspires different emotions, and really connects you to the characters.

And then there's the music.

The music in Les Mis is just unbeatable. I've heard music from practically every musical worth half a grain of salt, but nothing compares to Les Mis. Each song not only tells a story, but is just plain well arranged, and really makes you feel for the characters. Lyrics are without flaw, and when sung by a good cast... :'(
