A Chorus Line
Godspell
Cats
Hair
Jesus Christ Superstar
My Fair Lady


I really like original versions. They updated Jesus Christ Superstar a few years ago and it was awful!. They sometimes show it on PBS. The overall feel was just horrid.

Rent
Tommy
Mamma Mia!
We Will Rock You
Damn Yankees
Hello, Dolly
Phantom of the Opera
My Fair Lady
Little Shop of Horrors
Oklahoma
West Side Story
Chicago
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Cats

...and so on. I love musicals!

In no particular order:

West Side Story
The Music Man
Fiddler on the Roof
Guys and Dolls
Into the Woods
Evita
Little Mary Sunshine

Sticking to show's from those I've seen...

Aida
Les Miz
Brooklyn, The Musical (Mostly because of Eden Espinosa's remarkable belt)
Wicked

Not necessarily in that order...

Oooops, I almost forgot Rent.

Phantom of the Opera (Play: 6 times (8 by end of year) Movie: 4 times (will own in May)).

Rent (seen 4 times, absolutely LOVE it)

Sound of Music (partial b/c I was in it)

Miss Siagon (seen 4 times also, again LOVE it)

The Lion King (just saw on Friday and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!)

Les Mis (have seen 6-7 times, love it but at the same time kind of sick of it).

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (was lucky enough to see on Broadway with Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker and get their sigies too)

I have enjoyed every Broadway play I have seen here in Norfolk. My favorites have to be:

Cats
Mamma Mia
Phantom of the Opera
Les Miserables
The Producers (REALLY FUNNY! wish I had seen it Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick)

If you ever have a chance, go and see Forbidden Broadway.

The Music Man
Le Miserables
The Mikado
Evita
My Fair Lady
Fiddler on the Roof
West Side Story

Saw it in NY a few years ago -- but would love to see it again since it changes as the current shows change.

Did they do the Les Miserable parody? It's hilarious.

"10 Years More"

RENT!

I've seen a ton of musicals now that I think about it. I think I must be one of the only people on earth to not like Phantom though. I saw it in London and just thought it was so-so.

My faves:
Sound of Music (Saw it with Marie Osmond playing Maria, she was great)
Lion King
Les Miserables (I love this one!)
Grease (mainly because I know all the songs)


I have seen many others, but those were just ok. Beauty and the Beast wasn't bad, but I would have rather watched the film again. I also wasn't really keen on Porgy and Bess, but I think I was too young to really appreciate it. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not much of a fan of Rent either.

I thought the production was good, score wise, mediocre at best. Puccini must be pissed if he found out what happen to his creation Musetta's Waltz.

Are you referring to Phantom or Rent? Rent was taken from Puccini's opera la boheme, not Phantom but I wonder what Puccini would think of Phantom.

Phantom. Listen to the Music of the Night and then compare it to Musetta's Waltz. It's is eeriliy similar. Also, if you listen to the main the overture of Phantom, the one that goes da da da da dum, it's exactly the same as Pink Floyd's echo.
