What is your favourite musical?

My favorites would have to be RENT and Little Shop of Horrors. In my highschool we performed Little Shop of Horrors and it was fun!

Little shop of horrars must be so funny to perform! I'm glad you chose Chicago - we do three numbers from it in the entertaining group I do freelance work with!

It's a classic, good choice. Personally I've never seen it, I think if I did maybe I'd like the music more, 'cause at the moment it's a bit to slow for me.

I love new musicals because you can discover new favourites, but I also think it's important to not forget the old "classics"! Show Boat started a whole new era in musical theatre when it came, introducing full storylines and more story-telling lyrics. Great choice! Thankyou for your response! Than you all for your responses! I'm glad that I'm not the only one here loving musicals, and I find it interesting to see what other peoples oppinions are of the shows!

You're so lucky! I hope you have a wonderfull evening in that theatre! Do you kno who is playing Evita? You'll have to tell us when youu do! I saw the film when I was young, and then the stage version a few years ago - you're in for a few surprises if you've not listened to the stage version! ;) They changes a few things to make Madonna the only big female star in the film (and I think she's good in it!).

thanks for sharing, although it is sort of of the topic...

Because you don't know or because you can't chose? Please be more descriptive in your answers! ;)

I like the music as well, but I really don't like the film! It is the worst of skinny I've ever seen, that cast. Not many of those girls would be up to doing Chicago on stage 6-8 times per week, they are to thin! Is that what we are ment to find sexy nowadays?

Have you seen any of them on stage? Where? I saw Phantom in London, and Rent in London and Stockholm - but I've never seen Les Mis - not yet...

um... spamming the thread with irrelevant answers? lol I ment musical as in musical theatre, not as in style of music in general!

Seems I have to go out searching, you've actually mentioned a musical I've never heard of! Fun! What is it about, when is it from, who is it by? I love finding out new informations about musicals!

:O Once upon a mattress!! It is wonderfull! I'm so glad it is still being performed! I'd love to be Princess Whinnifred, the princess on the pea, she is just no non-princess-like! Do you know the music is composed by Rocherd Rodgers daughter, Mary Rodgers? Richard Rodger as in Sound of music, Oklahoma, Carousel and everything by Rodgers and Heart!! And Mary Rodgers son Adam Guettel won 6 Tonys a few years ago with his musical The Light in the Piazza - it goes in the familly, apparently!

Mhm, I understand you. But did you like the movie? (Have you seen the movie?) I thought it was kind of boring, the whole grandiose feeling you get on stage is lost in a medium where special effects are so comman.

It's a great musical do be done in that kind of environment. It all comes natural! ;)

it's so feel-good that one :)

Thanx - interesting, they are quite different from each other! Ever played any of them?

Great - so what are your oppinions of musicals like We Will Rock You, based on Queens music, and Tommy, written originally as a concept album by The Who and Pete Townshend? But I guess that's more rock than metal...

Wow! At which theatre? I love the music, but I've never got the chance to see it live (though I've seen the film recording of the stage version). It's a wonderfull musical, showing us al about the human nature by making the caracters "not human" (as in being cats, not people...).
