What is your favorite musical?
Pretty much anything where the music was composed by Lin Manuel Miranda or Stephen Schwartz.
Fiddler on the Roof is way high up on my list. Along with others already mentioned.
Westside Story, first musical I ever saw and still my all time favorite.
I'm surprised no one has said "Doctor Horrible's Sing a long blog"
Wish they would do a stage version. And Neil Patrick Harris keeps talking about a sequel, but it never seems to happen.
Assassins! This is a musical about all the president all assassins in US history. Neil Patrick Harris is the narrator in the recording. It's all just so amazing, so catchy, and so informative.
I'll have to check that out
@LadyAlyxandrea Please do! There's some language in it, but it's worth it!
Chicago is one of my all time favorite movies, musical or otherwise!
I love that story, those characters, and of course all that jazz.
Streets a Rock opera
Savatage. Great band. Except for Fight For The Rock. That record sucked.

My Fair Lady. I saw it at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles years ago. Rex Harrison was always one of my favorite actors and I got to see him in action. I'll never forget it.
Years ago I took my mom to see Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway. It was a great experience.
But it wasn't until I later saw the 1938 film "Pygmalion" starring Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller that I realized that the primary strength of "My Fair Lady" is the play, which I have come to consider the best of the 20th century. Bernard Shaw won the Oscar for best screenplay, making him the only person to win both an Academy Award and the Nobel Prize for Literature.
It was always a treasure to see Sound of Music when I was young. And in being a musical human being I have enjoyed every musical I have ever seen, especially Elivis Films. I also enjoyed the voice and acting of Barbra Streisand, except my fair lady. The voice of Audry is playful. I must say I was very impressed with La La Land. The movement the acting the musicality, Ryan Gosling is not a vocalist by any means, but I think that is part of the magic. The Imperfection.
Jesus Christ Superstar..............don't have to be a Catholic or Christian or member of any religion to believe that his teaching and outlook on life and people are worthy goals to have as a person.
I love something rotten
@LadyAlyxandrea This and Mel Brooks on writing History of the World best sum up musicals.
I've just started the set build for Shrek, and even as a carpenter I get excited.
I was inoculated against musicals as a child, I'm afraid.
Me too, can't do musicals.
