I love musicals too, the singing and the dancing is always fun to watch.

The one musical that I saw that I did not like was "Rent". I probably will get beat up for saying it, but I just didn't feel that play at all. Although some of the songs from it are great.

Singin In The Rain
Chicago
Cabaret
A Star Is Born

There are a lot of them that I haven't seen (even though I used to perform the damned things). I need to remedy that.

I The Music Man. I don't know why. I just do.

And I share the frequently-expressed hatred of Cats.

my favorite musicals tend to be "non-musicals"...which is to say they're TECHNICALLY broadway musicals, but they don't really follow the tradition or formula of what one usually thinks of.

for example, i LOVE "rocky horror" and "hedwig & the angry inch", and i guess "tommy" goes into the category as well. and now, i guess i can include "xanadu" in the list!

i have a respect for classic musicals, but they're not really my bag. that said, i do have a latent soft spot for cole porter but i don't really listen to it very much...

Oh, Rocky and Hedwig. Yeah, they didn't even come to mind, but I like those better than any other musicals I've seen.

I remember when I was about 10 having an argument with my parents cos I wanted to watch Purple Rain, but Cabaret was on at the same time and they wanted to watch that of course they were right

CarrieMpls said:

I love that song.

Singing in the Rain is pretty charming as well.

I did a tap dance to singing in the rain at a talent show when I was in high school.


I should go back and take tap lessons again. That would rock.

go for it!
It was on TV yesterday, and no matter how gloomy/grumpy I am it always makes me smile

I forgot to say

Porgy and Bess
Top Hat

Whenever I think of musicals, I think of that Norm MacDonald sketch from SNL, where he can't understand how his fellow street hoodlums suddenly break into choreographed song and dance.

I Love Musicals!!!! However, I will say that a lot of the ones that people think are "classics," I find to be terribly overrated, like Grease, The Sound of Music (gag) and West Side Story (double gag).

I'm big fan of the genre going all the way back to the very beginning. (The Jazz Singer, Broadway Melody) but it's too numerous to name. I'll go with my top favorites in no order unless otherwise noted. (these are all movies, by the way, not plays):


Funny Girl (best musical ever made, hands down)
Singin' in the Rain
Oklahoma!
Silk Stockings (Musical Remake of Ninotchka)
Carmen Jones
An American in Paris (the dancing in this movie is amazing)
Top Hat
Holiday Inn
High Society
Stormy Weather
Funny Face
Cover Girl (Rita Hayworth is a "Love goddess who could cut a rug")
Hairspray
Chicago
Happy Go Lucky (kind of obscure, but a lot of fun!)
Guys and Dolls
On The Town
Swing Time
Royal Wedding
The Band Wagon
32nd Street
Meet Me in St. Louis
Summer Stock
For Me and My Gal
Down Argentine Way
Week-End in Havana
State Fair (1945 Version, although I do like Ann-Margret's solo in the '63 version)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Good News
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
There's No Business Like Show Business

I forgot to put Fame, even though this could arguably be classified as a drama with musical interludes. I also forgot to add that The Wiz made me gag, too. It was AWFUL.
