My roommate is a musical theatre major, so I get my fill of musicals. My father plays the French horn for the pit orchestra at a local Catholic high school, so I've been seeing musicals since I was a very young child.

My favorite more modern musical is Phantom of the Opera (as you'll see when I switch to my Halloween set). In middle school, one of my friends and I would quiz each other on the lyrics we were so obsessed! I also really like Cats and The Scarlet Pimpernel.

As for older musicals you'd be more likely to see performed at a high school, Fiddler on the Roof is my favorite. I also like anything Rogers and Hammerstein, and Oscar Hammerstein's farm is about 15 minutes from my house. Hello Dolly is also a good musical, and it happens to be the musical my college is performing this year. My roommate is Ermengarde, which is a role she's very well suited for. I also really like the Pajama Game, and the only musical I've ever been in myself, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

so basicaly musicals are my life, i love em, LOVE!!! i keep half expecting people to hop out of the bushes and start singing and dancing in real life, but they never do, and it saddens me

if you are in new york next year, you should come and see my senior project. it's going to be a musical in real-time that takes place on the streets, as though life suddenly became a musical for that one day.

it's going to take a lot of planning, but it's going to be awesome.

I always thought it would be cool to run some sort of 'Musical Retreat' camp type thing. Guests could come and stay, and each week could center around one musical. Everyone would know all the lyrics, so people could just randomly burst into song, and everyone would join.

I wish life were a musical. =(

Wouldn't that be great? People in supermarkets would start singing and dancing randomly involving shopping trolleys. Oh yes. Fun to imagine that sometimes.

i keep hoping for that verry thing and, every once in a while someone will say something that's a line in a musical , and i go off and burst in to a great big song and dance number. people look at me funny. but it's ok, the people who know me understand and are learning to tolerate it.

is dancer in the dark real a musical, like with dancing and spontainious songs and every thing? ive never heard of it before, but i like bijork, so i think i'll look it up. i love "it's so quiet", great song, and it has a realy swing, sorta michal bubbl'e sound about it, i love that

Favorite: Hedwig & The Angry Inch

Second is Little Shop Of Horrors. I also like Rocky Horror and Cabaret. (I want to see the one with Alan Cumming in it. *swoon*)

1776: I know Brent Spiner acted in a version of that musical several years back. I'd love to see that one, just for Brent.

Hehe, that's great. Maybe I should start doing that.

Les Miserables
Great songs, which I am listening to now, great actors, great storyline.
I was bord with scum like you...
I am from the gutter too...

Jesus
The music. Wow, what can I say about that, super super super super. Acting, pretty good, but Tim Rice + Andrew Lloyd Webber are brilliant, not only in this, but in
Try not to get worried...
Try not to turn onto problems that upset you...

Josph
Bweeble! Stage presence brilliant, go to see this at the West End, and it's a brilliant day out. Not only is the acting brilliant, the songs are perfect.
Close every door to me...
Shut out the light from me...

Blood Brothers
Completely different, more a play with songs, rather than songs with a storyline, this is brilliant. I have read the play many times, and time just blurs together, it is so effortless to read or watch, yet so brilliant, and the ending scene. Wow, the only musical in which I have cried.
Tell me it's not true...
Say, it's just a story...

Annie
On the stage, it's great. The film is brilliant. The acting being perfect on both versions, and the songs are just so catchy, and the voices are just perfect.
The sun'll come out tomorrow...
Bet your bottom dollar for tomorrow...

Bugsy Malone
Despite the others who seem to dislike this, I find it brilliant. Despite the polished hair, and, well the poor acting the songs are brilliant. My appeal for this is purely on the refined, and perfect music.
We coulda been anything that we wanted to be...
With all the talent we had....

I like Cats.... And almost anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Of course I have the small problem of not being able to see many living in a small town. the high school did Honk!, and that was pretty good.

i dont know, i find andrew loyd webber to be slightly over rated, especialy cats, theirs no real plot or story to it, they're just cats, singing, dancing cats. i dont get it. although, i must confess, i have a deep love of phantom, and les mis, and will also admit to watching Evita more than once, though i gotta say, madona??? what??

[fallen_enigma]

I'm biased. I like Thouroghly (sp?) Modern Millie because my friend Gavin was in it.

I didn't like Cats either. The sets were great, the costumes were great, the performances were great. The plot... was nonexistant. I need plot **eats plots**
I love Webber though. And I love Evita! Madonna was great in it, it was either her or Michelle Pfeiffer, and I think Madonna was the better pick. She really wanted the part too.

[Ziggy]

I'm going to have to say 'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown' . . . but I'm biased, because I was Charlie Brown in the school play last year ^_^ I just think it's a nice mix of humour, drama, and friendship.

He played Jimmy Smith. He was nominated for at Tony a couple years ago for his role in it. He lost to John Lithgow though ?(
