Pippin, but the original from the 1970's, not the revival. Other top favorites include Chicago, Hair, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Les Miserables, and A Chorus Line. I'm a huge musical theater fan.

Fiddler on the Roof is way high up on my list. Along with others already mentioned.

The devil’s carnival

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.

Evita. I loved it, still do. Pippin was good too. I'm probably dating myself here.

I like my musicals dark and gritty. No Rogers and Hammerstein for me, thanks.

Favorite musical of all time is Miss Saigon. Man Of La Mancha, The Secret Garden, Les Miserables, Sweeny Todd and Little Shop Of Horrors are also favorites.

I love acting in musicals. My favorite roles to play were Will Parker in "Oklahoma" and George in "Of Mice and Men". My all time favorite though is The original Jesus Christ Super Star with Ted Neeley... Not the John Legend one... He sucked.

I watch cats with my little grand daughter, and she loves it.

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.
