*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!
Oh ME!! I have a lot of favorites but I really like: (they're all the movie versions) Bye Bye Birdie (with Ann Margaret) Newsies Brigadoon Singing in the Rain Chicago My Fair Lady Seven Brides for Seven Brothers And who doesn't love Mary Poppins!
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.
My daughter recieved Hairspray for christmas, and she's watched it like 35 times, and knows it word for word and song for song, she sings, eats, and sleeps with the DVD, drives me insane.
Okay... I'm going to revive this thread just in time for Tony nominations. (Only eight days to go!) Any ideas?
