I can't pick just one...
CATS-first show I saw live. I've been hooked on musicals ever since. The Phantom of the Opera-OCR that spends the most time in my CD player. Blood Brothers-thrilling, heartbreaking, powerful story. The Who's Tommy-another constant-spinner in the ole CD player. Purists may kill me, but I like it pop-ified. Les Miserables-I love bombast. My Fair Lady-do you need an explanation? West Side Story-if you don't get it, I ain't wastin' my time. Favorite musical written within the last ten years: The Light in the Piazza-beautiful, beautiful |

| theatre_grl |
it changes, sorta
my all-time fav: Phantom of the Opera (not because its the best musical--I know it's not--but because its what brought me to MT and I love the story so its special to me no matter what. I always say PotO is like my baby, and other obsessions are puppies--no matter how wonderful the puppies are, I'll love them a little less because theyre puppies...yeah I'm weird   )
my current (logical) fav: Sweeney Todd (I'm really excited b/c I love this show so its inspired me to work to become a Sondheimist, lol) |

Re: My Favorite Musical
Just a warning---You're going to face h*ll for that on here if you say it too much. Not so much from me(My school did it as a musical last year :\), but from others. |

Re: My Favorite Musical
like me!!!! God that musical sucks. But Ron Bohmer doesn't and he's the coach in the tour. Still that only makes it bad as opposed to the original terrible that only High School Musical and Grease could reach. |

-Joseph...Dreamcoat

My favorite musicals...hmm...I have a billion. I'm addicted.
If I absolutely HAD to pick ONE....I'd most likely go with Les Miserables...the music and the challege to act is so powerful and beautiful. It's such a strong, solid play. There are no holes in the plot and (depending on the actors) the characters are fully developed throughout the whole show. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend it. Make sure you know a little backround on it before you see it for the first time. I had the honor of acting in the ensemble last summer and...oh gosh...it was amazing. |

I only included shows that I have seen full-lenth on stage. I've seen the movies/telecasts/videos of Rent, The Light in the Piazza, Company, Into the Woods, Pippin, My Fair Lady, The King and I, Chicago, Gypsy, West Side Story and a lot more. Also, I have seen the student edition of Les Misérables, but I love it. However, I don't feel that it's fair to put one of those as one of my favorite shows until I have seen the full stage versions.

Oh there have been, and are many. However, The Producers is the only one to retain such an adamant grip on my heart. Great story, great music and lyrics, HILARIOUS, and the icing on the cake is that it's about musicals and theatre in general. | ||||
| broadwaybirdie |
Brilliant, Brilliant Show |
||||
| ~GertrudeMcFuzz~ |
Recent: Legally Blonde, The Last 5 Years, Hairspray, Wicked, The Light in the Piazza, and Sunday in the Park With George.

I haven't seen too many musicals so I'll rank the few Broadway shows I've seen from favorite to least favorite (including movies based on musicals and shows I've been in just to fill it up...)
1. Little Shop of Horrors 2. The Music Man 3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 4. The Lion King 5. Hairspray 6. The Producers 7. A Chorus Line 8. Hello Dolly! I'm seeing Avenue Q this summer so maybe Seymour's #1 slot will be taken from him. 
|

My favorties in order:
1. The Phantom of the Opera 2. Spring Awakening 3. Les Miserables 4. Aida |
||||
| Herm1994 |
My favorites are Les Miserables and The Pirates of Penzance (even though it's an operetta).
|
||||
| Nettik |
"West Side Story" has to be my favorite musical. | ||||
| littlemisstheatregirl |
Right now, it's a tie between Xanadu and The Light in the Piazza.
But I also love: Jesus Christ Superstar Little Shop of Horrors Sunday in the Park With George Spring Awakening Evita and a lot of others. |
||||
| coreyjay |
My favs at the moment : Bare, Sunday In The Park With George, Into The Woods | ||||
| TheMusicMan67 |
GODSPELLGodspell remains my all-time favorite show, I could listen to the various soundtracks over and over again (which I do!) - I also love Oliver! Sweeney Todd, (which was my first love), Snoopy! and Les Miz. Oh! and West Side Story - but just listen to the original cast album, all the others sound too slick and polished. |
||||
| Jelliclaw |
Avenue Q is my favorite show with CATS in close second. | ||||
| MackenzieDunn |
at the moment Legally Blonde. I love it, it's cute and smart. | ||||
| xxBroadwayBabyxx |
Wicked, Les Mis, The Phantom Of The Opera, Legally Blonde,Rent,Sweeny Todd, Hairspray,Fiddler On The Roof, Beauty & The Beast, Guys & Dolls, Your A Good Man Charlie Brown and sooooo many more the list could go on and on. | ||||
| ThatPuppetGuy |
Avenue Q with Little Shop of Horrors as a very close second. | ||||
| *paradox in pink* |
I go through, like, obsessions every couple of months. A little while ago it was Hello Dolly, then the Music Man, Guys and Dolls, now it's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. | ||||
| wickedlover4ever |
I would have to say Wicked and The Pirate Queen (it's not on anymore). That is at the moment.
|
||||
| Felix Felicis |
I can never decide between:
The Drowsy Chaperone Wicked The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Les Miserables Next to Normal |
||||
| Salome |
cute but the opposite of smart. its inanely stupid. |

Recently, I've been totally obsessed with Spring Awakening. I know, I know, *everyone* is all spring awakening this and spring awakening that, but I really think that it's so refreshing to see a show on broadway that's so gritty and daring. I think that the issues brought up in it are totally relevant to today's teenagers and I think that the score is wonderful! I also love Les Mis (because how can you not?) and Urinetown because it's hilarious and original. | ||||
| Salome |
S.A. isnt gritty and daring. its poorly constructed with bad lyrics and sub par music. you want gritty daring and different try Parade, Assassins,or Chess. |
||||
| jasmine28 |
My favourite musicals are:
Wicked Les Mis Phantom of the Opera The Lion King |
||||
| ActingDude17 |
A few of my favorites are (in no particular order):
Wicked RENT Beauty and the Beast Sweeney Todd Into The Woods (and my only exposure to it so far is listening to the OBCR) The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown The Lion King Peter Pan |
||||
| Elphaba-the-wicked |
WICKED
WE WILL ROCK YOU RENT Sweeney Todd Les Miserables Avenue Q Miss Saigon AIDA Hairspray Spamalot (it goes on for a while but the top 2 are my faves of all time) |
||||
| Not Dead Yet |
While I agree with Salome about poor construction and bad lyrics, I do think that it's a tribute to a lot of Spring Awakening fans who can still love the show despite its imperfections. There are some people who are just touched by the show and that stays with them, no matter what faults the show as a whole has. Liking Spring Awakening has finally let me know what it feels like to think like a Webber fan God knows it wouldn't have happened the other way.
|
||||
| musictheatre00 |
I could never choose one, my favorite right now though are Chess, Anything Goes, and Dear World's score.
My favorites change from time to time though. it's really whjatever I'm digging at the moment. So really, this is just what i have been digging lately. |
||||
| blackbird_fly |
In no particular order:
Rent (I've only just discovered it, a bit late) Into the Woods Camelot Sweeney Todd The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Guys and Dolls Gypsy There's more but I can't think of them right now. |
||||
| JIJane |
In no particular order:
42nd street Gypsy Guys and Dolls Funny Girl Spamalot My Fair Lady The king and I Oliver Cabaret Mystery of Edwin Drood Nine Oklahoma (National theatre production) La cage aux folles The Producers Singing in the rain (film only) Kiss me Kate Annie (yes, I know but it is actually a brilliant show) Beauty and the Beast Camelot A chorus line Showboat Sunset Boulevard (the only Lloyd Webber, mainly because of the Wilder script really) Follies Funny thing happened on the way to the forum Parade Sunday in the park with George (act 1 only plus finale nr "Sunday" of act 2) Sound of Music Mary Poppins Music only: Mack and Mabel, Annie get your gun (excluding the Indian song), Anyone can whistle, Anything Goes, Assassins, Chess, Candide, City of Angels, Dick Tracy Honorary mentions: She loves me, Gigi, West Side Story, Avenue Q, The Boyfriend, Company, Into the woods, Sweeney Todd, Drowsy Chaperone, The Fantasticks, Grand Hotel, I love you you're perfect now change Nostalgic mention even though the show has many fault: Victor Victoria |
||||
| Salome |
Assassins has one of the strongest and most emotionally charged books of any musical. it doesnt work without the book Jane. | ||||
| JIJane |
Hm...I was in it at drama school and wasn't convinced...but then I never actually saw it haha.
Oh and I forgot to mention Threepenny Opera as one of my favourites, how could I forget!
|
||||
| xXAngelofMusicXx |
Ooooh I guess if I had to choose an ultimate favourite it would have to be Phantom, but I do really love LOTR, Zorro and Jekyll and Hyde. |
