I have yet to see a thread on the power of Broadway and similiar stage streets, so here we are! Who loves musicals as much as I? I am simply entranced by them and sing and perform in many.

My current favourites:
Dracula Das Musical
Les Miserables
Urinetown
Avenue Q
Count of Monte Cristo

and the list goes oooon~
Talk about your favourite composers like Frank Wildhorn, Stephen Schwartz, Sondheim, Rogers and Hammerstein and more.
LET ME GEEK WITH YOU.

Is all I am saying. ;>

Oooooooo, lessee
Cats(seen this about five times...)
Phantom of the Opera
Les Miserables
Avenue Q
Fiddler on the Roof
Legally Blonde, The Musical

erm, I'm sure there's others, but those are what I can think of off the top of my head...

I love seeing stuff live but it doesn't normally happen so I'm stuck with the movies. I've seen live shows of Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and Ragtime. I few years back I trevelled to London and made a point of seeing a play on the last day, and opted for Cabaret, which is one of my favourites and I loved the version that was put on there (I saw it at the Lyric). "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" is one of my favourite songs. It kind of annoys me a little that when I searched it on youtube, a lot of people actually seemed to think that it was a Nazi song or something from the time of the Nazi youth. I guess that shows really to what effect the director of the movie used it.

I have seen SO many live shows. I have a shoebox filled with playbills and it weighs a ton.
my absolute favorite ever is Catch Me If You Can. it's a new one, just opened on broadway like a month ago. I saw it on its pre-broadway run in Seattle last year. it's MAGICAL.
I would love to see Repo! The Genetic Opera onstage, but I don't know if it's even playing anywhere.

Oh goodness lets see

=Repo!The Genetic Opera
=Rocky Horror Picture Show
=Moulin Rouge

and those are the only ones I can think of at the moment, I'll add more when I think of some more

Oh yes! Went to Evil Dead the musical last year. That was fantastic! Though best appreciated by those who are familiar with the films and bad horror in general. One of the songs starts with "oh we're just five college students going to an old abandoned cabin in the woods." My friends and I sat in the splatter zone. We wore garbage bags home so we wouldn't get fake blood all over the car sears. I have the pictures to prove the damage.

There are so many that I like. xD

Wicked
The Phantom of the Opera
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
RENT
Moulin Rouge
Mamma Mia
The Little Mermaid (On Broadway)
Chicago
Reefer Madness
Burlesque

I like musicals, okay? D8<

I need to see reefer madnessssss.

EVERYONE HAS LOVELY TASTES IN HERE.

I found some more

Anastasia
Swan Princess
South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

We're allowed to count cartoons as well? >.>

Er, I dunno, they may be musical, but the original post was about stage stuff...not sure if all those have stage productions to go with 'em. I know that Disney alone has converted many of their musical movies into stage thigns. Part of me sorta wants to see Lion King and Little Mermaid...but more for the costuming than the storyline.

I have to say my current favorites would be Hair and the Danish interpretation of Treasure Island

I like the soundtrack to Hair but I've never seen it.

Curiously, one of the musicals I'm not all that fond of is The Sound of Music.

I don't really like -that- many musicals. xDD

I love Grease, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Mamma Mia and Hairspray though.

I haven't seen Hairspray, but I've seen the others in movie form. I love Mamma Mia, and Grease is the music I often put on when I'm doing something like cleaning my room or whatnot. Makes the time go faster, especially when one is half-dancing to it. :)

How can you mention famous musical composers without adding Andrew Lloyd Webber? D:<
