Hey everybody!!! Since this was off topic, I felt like posting just something...Ok, i'm sure most of you guys have seen a musical, and I was wondering what is your favorite? My sister is really big into this stuff and she got the soundtrack to the play Wicked, and it sounds really interesting (it's about the wicked witch of the west in OZ before she was wicked) it's really cool how it connects w/ the Wizard of OZ. Well...also, the music in that play is really pretty, and um...some parts are sad and neato and stuff and...bye! Also, Phantom of the Opera in London is good.

well, i saw the phantom and that was great. but my absolute favourite shows that would be close to musiclas would be cirque du soleil shows- in particular "O" at Bellagio. i also saw riverdance which was surprisingly very good. but nothing every can beat O.

Well, i'm gonna be all individual an say West Side Story. Being an actor and a musician, it is one of the best technically around. The score is fantastic and the script is clever, if a little stupid in places. Also, it is the one that i am currently involved in (playing Riff, if anybody cares)

Yeah we all love martin (afro dude) He did that specially for us for the last night. If any of you know west side story, he played baby john, which is hilarious. Gotta love that hair though.

I'd definitely have to agree with Carlosio, West Side Story is one of the best musicals ever written. my high school produced it just this past fall, and it was a hell of a good time. baby john is one of my favorite characters; so is riff. your cast seems pretty small for such a demanding production, we had about 80 people on stage at one point. of course I helped with set design (very tricky stuff, especially that darn balcony and doc's shop) and played the entire piano book. the musical score is ingenious (I had it all memorized after a couple of months), but i'd rather not go back to that very difficult 150-page piano part anytime soon. yeah, everyone at pike (my hs) is sick of the story, music, etc including me, but doing such a great classic was really worth it...

i saw Mamma Mia in London. My first real musical and I liked it very much. Since I have seen Chess and Annie Get your Gun. All of them are great, but I think Chess is my favorit. Also I love the music for The Phantom of the Opera, and I would love to see it on stage.

wow.. to be honest, i think west side story is one of th worst things ever written. i'm sorry, but singing gangsters who randomly break out into song and dance just looks stupid to me.

My 3 personal faves are:

1.) The Phantom of the Opera
2.) Les Miserables
3.) Miss Saigon


I aslo saw The Phantom movie, and it was amazing. Almost as good as the broadway play!

I like 42nd Street a lot...I'm going to be in the pit playing French Horn for our high school's Into the Woods play this spring. Mama Mia and the Lion King, which I saw in London, were also pretty good.

ahh, Cats has to be one of my favourites, me being a dancer and all! I am going to see Lion King in Easter so i am looking forward to that! Would "you got served" count, it is a film but is based around music, and dance (Breakdancing, Street, etc). Thats why it is my favourite because i am in to all of that stuff. If it doesnt count then Cats is the best because you have to appreciate how talented some of those dancers are!!!! Jesus Christ superstar is okay, i ahvent seen many more though so i wouldnt know!
