    *Raises hand* I love musicals, too, but I'm more of a closet musical lover. I don't mention my love of musicals that often, for some reason...
    Here's my list!

    In no particular order:
    The Music Man
    Rent
    South Pacific
    Chicago
    Hairspray
    Victor/Victoria
    Kiss Me Kate
    An American in Paris
    The Sound of Music

    But I think my favorite would have to be...
    The Producers! I saw it back in May, and I absolutely loved it! The songs are really catchy, and the whole show is hilarious. Mel Brooks is a genius!

    At the momment, I'm 100% totally obsessed with Hairspray. Guh! I adore it. The songs, the plot, the dancing, the dialogue...and looking at Zac Efron isnt bad either ;) I was never a big fan of musicals, but I do like a few.

    Hairspray
    Grease
    Sound of Music

    I love musicals too! I have seen Grease, Saturday Night Fever, The Producers, Mamma Mia and Miss Saigon all in London. But my favorite is The Phantom of the Opera! I have seen that one two times in London and once in Stockholm. The music is fabulous! But I refuse to see the movie. I think that would destroy the image of the musical/opera.
