Fave musicals anyone (if any)? Or any that you've seen on stage?

Seen: Riverdance, Les Misérables

Favorites (including the above two): Phantom of the Opera, Rent, Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Carousel, Porgy and Bess, Showboat, Chicago, West Side Story, Pirates of Penzance, Miss Saigon, I Love My Wife and a bunch of others

BTW, I Love My Wife has got to be one of the funniest 2 hours I've ever witnessed.

I love Phantom, Cats, Le Mis, although the only one of these I've seen is Cats. I have the cds for each of them. I love the music. I like most musicals execept for the Sound of Music-I hate that Movie!!! I love going to the theater although I haven't really been as much as I'd like to(been spending too much money on anime, manga and at cons, oh well)

Does the Rocky horror picture show count? I have seen that once. It was pretty cool.Audience Participation is cool.

Sort of.

My favorites are Sweeney Todd and Chess, because I'm a masochist, I guess.

(Chess = about six or eight awesome songs - "No Contest" and "Anthem" kick my ass - and a very depressing story that is anachronistic no matter how you stage it, pretty much.)

I've seen...geez, what HAVE I seen. I had season tickets to a local musical theater production house group of people thing for about 3 years, so. Um. lalala. Off the top of my head... Buckets of old ones, like South Pacific, Oklahoma, Crazy for You, Guys and Dolls, 1776, blah blah blah. (Though I did kinda like Damn Yankees. It's ... different.)

Rent, though for the life of me I can't remember one entire song from it. Friend of mine dragged me there when I was in NYC, because it was the only one he was into and one that I wasn't into. Uh...both Phantoms (ALW and Yeston/Kopit); I was way, way into that book when I was in early high school, so. Evita, Chess o'course, Little Shop a couple of times, Hair (it's cute, nowadays), uh...Blood Brothers, didn't like that one much, Falsettoland... Most of the ones I've seen are the older ones, unless I just suppress the memory of the new ones.

Somehow, I have never seen Les Mis or Cats....

Let's see......... I've seen Cats and Les Miserables here at the Dallas theater and I saw Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway. All of those were definately awesome.

I've got Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on VHS. It also owns me.

I really wish I could see more stuff, but I'm excessively busy during the summer and during the school year I live to far away from any decent theaters.

I'm afraid all those pale in comparison to the greatest musical of all time. That's right, Urinetown. I havent' seen it, but my cousin has the soundtrack. It's basically about a town with a water drougt, and since you are required by law to use a toilet, they charge you money to use them. Sounds stupid, but if you listen you'll like it.

Seen: Cats, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Ragtime, Aida, Kiss Me Kate, Mamma Mia

Been In: The King and I, Can-Can, Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

I liked all the ones I've seen, but there's always a special place for the ones I've acted in.

those Canaan days... we used to know... where have they gone... where diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- (all brothers inhale) -iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid they go...

I saw Mamma Mia on Broadway when I went up to New York. That was a good musical!
