Fame

Cabaret!

I love Liza!

The Sound of Music

Yikes! Just one movie?

"West Side Story"

"Singing in the Rain"

And for pure fun, it's hard to beat "Grease."

Yeah, I thought about that one, too. Wait 'till they do Hairspray!

mine is "Oklahoma" but that's all because of my mom... since birth, I've been raised on songs from it

The Sound of Music!!!!!!!!! There was a time in my life when I would watch it every day (I was like 5 or so then)

I don't think it's a movie... but Tommy is really REALLY good.

Other than that:
West Side Story
Chicago
and of course, Grease

I think you're right. It started out as a "Rock Opera," then was done on stage, but I don't remember a movie.

Chicago is another obvious great one.

ETA Speaking of Rock Operas and movies, there's Jesus Christ, Superstar -- which occurred to me because our daughter opens in it tonight at a local theatre company. Her husband is directing.

The Sound of Music

I forgot Sweet Charity... funny musical.

West Side Story
Hairspray
the Rocky Horror Picture Show

I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

You'll love this little bit of trivia, then: when Shirley Jones was taking acting lessons at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, she lived in the Alpha Delta Pi house - and there are several photos of her to prove it!


I like the South of Music, too, but I also liked A Chorus Line and a lot of the others mentioned. Not a fan of Grease, because it's better onstage.

Don't think Hairspray is a movie yet -- but probably will be someday. Also will probably be done by every high school theatre company sooner or later -- after the rights are released.

sound of music and
chicago ( 2003 version)

The Boardway show was based on the 1988 John Waters movie Hairspray. Rikki Lake, Divine, Jerry Stiller, Sonny Bono and Deborah Harry starred. It was a movie with a lot of music but not a musical.

The movie of The Who's Tommy came out in 1975. Aside from members of The Who, among the stars were Elton John (the Pinball Wizard), Tina Turner (the Acid Queen) and Ann-Margaret.

My Fair Lady

Oooo -- good one!! I love that movie!!

Hmmm....for fun, you're right - can't beat Grease.

This is so sad, but my fav. when I was a kid was Xanadu.

My favorite is "Chicago".

Carousel
Fiddler on the Roof

and Moulin Rouge :)

Tommy was made into a movie. I think it was done in the 80s. I remmember watching it. Elton John was in it.

Moulin Rouge.

i just cant get myself to love the ones that are different from the original stage version (grease, chicago, jcs, cabaret [esp cabaret])

Singin' in the Rain...because of the dancing too!

My mom brought me up on 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown', I really love Debbie Reynolds!

aj

I personally like Hair, Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar The old version not the newer updated one. Delt Alum I hope your daughter breaks a leg tonight.

I love musicals!

Grease
Chicago
My Fair Lady
Moulin Rouge
Royal Wedding
The Sound Of Music
Mary Poppins
Damn Yankees

...and the list goes on. :D

i like :

grease
chicago
moulin rouge
and hairspray the movie is a good one

Singin in the Rain is my all-time favorite. But I usually love just about any musical.

Kazaam ( the lyrics are really funny (in a cheesy way)

Beauty and the Beast (saw this during my 8th grade field trip to new york)

Moulin Rouge ( saw this on a date one time. never thought I'd like it so much)

CB4 ( one funny ass movie)

The Producers

OH my gooodness i remember that movie with Oliva newton john and gene kelly. Dang i am old! I had the record.... yes i said RECORD

Mine is most definitely

CHICAGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEST SIDE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually like the stage versions better than the movies, but there are a few that are exceptions, such as The Music Man, The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady.

ME TOO!!!! But I still try to find things on record, even as young as I am.

let's see

oklahoma

west side story

Like everyone else, I can't just pick one.

First I have to go with the musicals that I have been in.

The Wizard of Oz
The Music Man
Peter Pan
The Sound of Music
Lil' Abner


Now I have to go with ones that I've seen and loved.
