[Ulla Dance Again!]

Uh... you're kinda talking to yourself... just to let you know, people may think that's weird. But welcome to the forums nonetheless.

I see you're a fan of Audrey... have you seen Sabrina? That's a really good movie.
Anyhoo, this probably belongs in the general chat section.

But to answer your question my favorite is West Side Story but I also like The Producers as you can see.

[vexation]

I do love Wicked

... and anything by Jason Robert Brown (Particularly the Last 5 Years)

... and Rent and tick, tick... Boom! by Jonathan Larson

... oh and Avenue Q.

Was that too many?

i do like blood brothers as well but more as a play than a musical

[MademoiselleMusicals]

I have lots... Beauty and the Beast, Phantom, Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Wicked, RENT, FAME, Into the Woods.

[flying_pigs]

Les Mis, Phantom, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers are my top 3!

[Holly]

It changes...a lot...right now it's either Company or A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

[Sister Robert Anne]

My all time favourites are Nunsense and Carousel. I'm also very keen on Pal Joey at the moment.

[MademoiselleMusicals]

I have NEVER EVER heard of Nunsence!

[Sister Robert Anne]

Lots of people probably haven't, that's why I sometimes use a song from it as an audition piece, because it's not too overdone It's also where I got my username from *points* Out of interest, and a little OT, are you Belle on Stagetalk? I'm Ruby Slippers there.

[twinkle]

[Sister Robert Anne]

I did

[Salome]

My Fair Lady
Follies
Parade
Camelot
Sweeney Todd
Assassins
Rex
Chess

[MademoiselleMusicals]

Wow how did you know?! Yes I am Belle

[Liesbeth]

I loved Nunsense, seen that in London a long time ago. GREAT.
So many others.....
The more "unknown" musicals like "flowers for Algernon" and "Bloodbrothers" (without a happy end!)
Sunday in the park with George, Sweeney Todd, Raggs, Hairspray,
Company, Chicago, Barnum.
But how about the new Kinds od musicals like "Lion King" and "Tarzan"?
Not really for me!

[katieanne]

i love nunsense! i directed/choreographed a nunsense medley for a cabaret in the fall. way, way, way fun. i was cast as reverend mother but we couldn't get the materials out of NY in time for the show (this was right after september 11). saddest i've ever been!

i'm partial to once on this island, bat boy, and reefer madness. in terms of more traditional musicals, i'll go with oklahoma!, and into the woods.

[Sister Robert Anne]

I love Into The Woods. I was going to play Little Red, but I've had to drop out, because one of the shows is on my birthday and I've been booked for over a year to see some obscure foreign circus on that date

[broadwaybabe1364]

my fav. is also Into The Woods because I played Jack's Mother!! and I have always loved Beauty and the Beast because it was my 1st Broadway show!

[Gavroche Girly]

Les Miserables is my all-time favorite. Seeing it live made me love it more when I thought I couldn't possibly become more obsessed! I love it's charm, meaning, inspiration, talent, and depth.

Plus, being a part of the actual production was a dream come true!

[lesmisroxmysox]

gah I have so many but to pick three I'd have to say Les Miserables, Rent, and Songs for a New World.

... and the Drowsy Chaperone

... and Sweeny Todd

... and more!

[EponinesRain]

I think my signature pretty much gives it away, haha! Les Miserables!!

I haven't really seen anything else on stage, so I guess this doesn't really count, but I enjoyed the movie versions of Fiddler on the Roof and West Side Story.

I SO want to watch something with Sutton Foster. The Drowsy Chaperone left L.A. a couple months ago (sniff, sniff) and I really want to watch Throughly Modern Millie now, too. Wicked looks pretty entertaining, as well.

[krisavalon]

Jesus Christ Superstar, hands down.

[lildovefeather]

Hello!!!! I'm kinda new here ("kinda" 'cause I know I was already a member before but I forget now what ID I used ).

Anyhoo, my most faves are both CATS and Les Miserables. They're followed by Joseph and the ATD, BABY The Musical, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon. But not necessarily in that order.

[lildovefeather]

[lildovefeather]

[lildovefeather]

[*leigh*]

Favorite musical...Hmm...
This week? It would be either [title of show] or Bat Boy...Or both!

[Superjew]

wow I LOVE bat boy. But can anybody PLEASE tell me where i can find I'd give it all for you (preferablly a digital download and preferably free but wherever is fine)

[Missnewbooty]

It's completly amazing and its so underplayed.

[Milleh]

1. Cats and POTO

3. Miss Saigon
4. Grease
5. Lion King

Many more but cant remember them lol

[Eponine Thenardier]

HEAR IT. SEE IT. KNOW IT. ADORE IT.

My absolute FAVORITE musical is Les Mis. Is it that obvious? Wicked is growing on me fast, though, and I kind of like The Wedding Singer. Funny Girl and Fiddler are two movies I watch over and over and I'm starting to get into The Drowsy Chaperone. But in terms of musicals, Les Mis is my first and only love

CATS and Les Mis are my favourites of the 1980s era, especially CATS. Though I've seen some of the other megamusicals when they toured Singapore I've found that I like CATS the most.
Sound of Music is my all-time favourite classic musical, followed closely but not so, by King and I and South Pacific.

[Vice]

Cats, StEx, Sweeney Todd, and Peter Pan are my favourites. I like the SeraMyus too but... there's so many!

[I Love Lockstock]

Into the Woods, Urinetown, SITPWG, CATS
