What is your favorite musical?
I was inoculated against musicals as a child, I'm afraid.
Me too, can't do musicals.
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.
Streets a Rock opera
Savatage. Great band. Except for Fight For The Rock. That record sucked.
@webbe
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!
Not big on musicals, so I'm going with... the musical episode of Scrubs. ?
Oh, man, that episode cracks me up every time, especially Dr Cox's patter song.
I have a whole Spotify playlist of Broadway tunes lol
Sweeny Todd
Book of Mormon
Wicked
Les Mis
Music Man
I have like 5 Pandora stations just dedicated to musicals
No wait my favorite is into the woods
Mine too!
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.
Chicago is one of my all time favorite movies, musical or otherwise!
I love that story, those characters, and of course all that jazz.
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.
So hard to choose. I'm lukewarm to traditional musicals. Instead, I rather like Reefer Madness, Sweeney Todd, and Spring Awakening. I also like Evil Dead, but that may be the result of seeing a really awesome production with a splatter zone; the music itself is mediocre.
