    I LOVE musicals. Coming to NYC to see Once in April. Picking my favorite is so hard. Loved Wicked, phantom, Le Miz, but think I have to go with Rent. Have seen it so many times beginning the first year it came out.

    Melody May says:

    Les Miserables! Of all the musicals I have seen.

  4. 4

    My favorite musical will always be Brigadoon. No one does it like Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse. Of course, My Fair Lady probably comes a close second. =o)

    Love musicals!!! Favorite, wow. Maybe Wicked or Camelot or Man of LaMancha or . . . Too many to pick just one. Good luck to your daughter. My daughter has acted, directed and produced musicals since she was in 3rd grade. So I understand your situation. Enjoy yourselves.

    Little Shop of Horrors. While the music isn’t really memorable like some songs from Cats, Phantom or other shows, it’s bouncy music and off kilter story appeals to me.

    Christine says:

    Honestly, I don’t know whether or not I liked Musicals. The only one I’ve seen was in middle school of The Wizard of Oz and I Loved it! I think I would really enjoy them. We have the Muny here. It’s an outdoor theater and I would consider going but it is so Hot here in the summer. You know I think I’ve been there one other time as a teenager but I can’t remember what I saw, but there was another time that I seen Cats when I was 14 and I didn’t care for that. So I’m really not sure. I think it would make a difference what it was about. I’d love to see Grease the Musical!!!

    Thanks for the contest every week!

    Love, love, love musicals! Can’t pick just one as I really love them all, well mostly! Sound of Music, Singin’ in the Rain, Brigadoon, Holiday Inn & White Christmas, Royal Wedding, West Side Story, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I really could go on & on. The more I sit here thinking about musicals the more that pop into my mind!! How about South Pacific, The King and I, Grease, Hello Dolly, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

    Enjoy your daughter’s musical. Let us know how it goes.

    Raeline Peterson says:

    Hope you guys have fun i hate musicals. I think i just really hate the type of music most have in it ,but who knows maybe if i found one with a subject i like i might change my mind.

    Jeanne Miro says:

    My favorite musical is Don Quixote. I can’t help but love it because any man who only sees the beauty of a woman and dismissing all her “lesser” qualities is the type of man we all deserve in our lives!

    Forget to make dinner – no problem. Made bad choices in your past – he doesn’t care. So give me a man like Don Quixote any day after all who among us has lived a life without faults and mistakes.

    Think about it he even would sing to you and who among us wouldn’t smile if he showed up at their house and sang The Impossible Dream while gazing at you with a smile on his face and meant ever word he sang!

    Now if I could just convince my husband to be a little more like Don Quixote maybe he would make dinner for a change – and even do the dishes!

  101. 101
    Ada H says:

    Musicals are awesome, what’s not to love? So many to name but obviously Les Mis is one. I haven’t seen the movie yet (I know, what’s wrong with me??) but I will soon. And I love the music in Rent!! So many others but those are the ones that come to mind right away.

    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was good, Oklahoma and more current Grease are also good. Of course some might consider some of the Elvis Presley movies as musical as there was usually alot of singing in them! :party:

    I don’t hate musicals, but I’ve just never really been enthralled with them. I guess the one I like the most would have to be The Sound of Music, but it’s been years since I’ve seen it and I saw it enough as a kid that I dont really have any pressing desire to watch it again soon. Maybe in another decade or two :)

    Jesus Christ Superstar, Camelot, Across the Universe, Beauty & the Beast, Rent, Mama Mia, West Side Story, Mary Poppins, Lion King, Grease, The Sound of Music, Peter & the Wolf, A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, Funny Girl, Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, Miss Saigon

    Lasandra Gonsior says:

    Entering a new school, Milam, for sixth grade in September 1946, Presley was regarded as a loner. The following year, he began bringing his guitar in on a daily basis. He played and sang during lunchtime, and was often teased as a “trashy” kid who played hillbilly music. The family was by then living in a largely African-American neighborhood.^`
