What's your favourite musical and why?

Just wondering really.

Not entirely sure what my all-time favourite musical is - there are just too many that I dearly love. But I have to say that Phantom of the Opera is definitely in my top 3 - cry every time I see it.

Les Mis. Its probably my favourite because it was one of the first musicals I was introduced to as a child and I've also performed a lot of the songs from it when I used to sing. I liked the movie but the stage show, especially the 10th anniversary one with Colm Wilkinson and Ruthie Henshall was utter perfection. Nothing can top that imo.

Cats. I just love the music, the choreography, the lyrics. It was the first proper musical I ever saw and it really stuck with me.

I second that completely! I also love the 25th Anniversary version, minus Nick Jonas.
Les Miserables - I've liked it for over 10 years now - the music is enchanting and beautiful and I especially like the 10th Anniversary version.
Oklahoma! - One of the classic musicals I was introduced to as a child.
Phantom of the Opera - I love this, the stage show particularly and it's impossible for me to choose a favourite song from it.

Wicked! The music, and the storyline is just perfect for me :biggrin: And Blood Brothers, it's just so cool :tongue: And Les Mis, because that's just beautiful.

That's me ;D
Would definitely love to go out to see more musicals, but it's having the time and money to do so :s-smilie:
The ones that I've seen properly on stage have been We Will Rock You, Stomp (both which were school trips), Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Producers.
I would have to say my favourites are Wicked and The Book Of Mormon? I've never seen them live but I would love to and the soundtracks are amazing. I've only seen three musicals live and they were Beauty and the Beast which was a dance trip in year seven at the local theatre, Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat when I was nineand was another local theatre and I saw Hairspray on the West End when I was twelve. It was amazing and I still have some of the confetti that streamed out of the giant hairspray can at the end.
Kinda into rap/hip hop, not the meaningless songs but the deep lyric ones. Got lots of inspiration from Eminem, 2pac, etc

Bugsy Malone is a hell of a shout.
Wicked- amazing songs, had me in tears.

Hairspray- SUCH a positive message.

Ghost- most incredible special effects I have ever seen.

I've seen all of these live, as well as Joseph, High School Musical and Blood Brothers, which were also brilliant :smile: Would LOVE to see Lion King, Les Mis or Phantom of the Opera next.
