Am I the only person that actually despises musicals? It's what made the South Park movie suck. The only thing worse is Bollywood.

[1andonly]

Jesus Christ Superstar, Chicago, West Side Story are my favs!

:yes:
my next favourite is Grease, but thats quite a lot less than the RHPS.

[Tweety]

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat & Whistle down the wind.

[Olive]

little shop of horrors is my favourite, cause it has a sense of humour. but done well, miss saigon is amazing.

and i don't know if it counts, but a nightmare before christmas is fantastic too :D

[SuzyCreamcheese]

I think I like blues brothers just as much as I like Rocky Horror, thinking about it.

[Lil Laura]

Blood Brothers, or The Lion King.

[rockerchick]

cats

[lennykravitzfan]

It was tongue-in-cheek musical at it's best, I thought.

Kiss Me, Kate, Guys and Dolls, Les Mis and Chicago (well, that's going by the film alone.) are the only "normal" musicals I like, really. Normally though, I don't really like musicals.

Oh, and The Jungle Book of that counts.

Just seen the Producers tonight and it was soooo amazing! Nathan Lane wasn't in but his understudy was great so it didn't matter. You've just gotta love that show. Completely offensive to absolutely everyone, but so damn' funny!

Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gaaaaay...

[Zella]

I love Rocky Horror and Phantom of the opera.

[Bri-namite]

I love the music of Les Miserables, aint seen the actualy musical yet though.

[piccolo]

oh, you shoulda seen it at the Palace! Damn Lloyd-Webber and his Woman in White. :( I gather it's still amazing but the orchestra's been reduced a bit.

No, I REALLY don't like musicals. I did when I was about 5.

[Char_Baby]

mamma mia and miss saigon were pretty damn excellent as well

[melanie]

blood brothers, cats, chicargo, cabaret,

[Blah_ha]

Phantom of the Opera :)

[wee wuman]

MOULIN ROUGE!

[Butterflykisses]

Rent is incredible when done well, and of course Blues Brothers for simple fantasticness

[twisted_trinity]

west side story..........i've done so many songs from this for my exams
rent
les miserables........and this one too
sound of music
chicago live is fantastic....i did stage managment for my local drama company for that once
seven brides for seven brothers
rocky horror
i once saw a musical adaptation of queen of the damned and it was brilliant. though the guy playing lestat had an amazing voice, so the rest of it could have been crap.

[pinkslippers]

I think my favourite musical would have to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat. I went through a big phase of knowing every song and lyrics, owning the soundtrack, the written lyrics. I'm over it now though:D

[twisted_trinity]

i did music theatre grades for years and then i gave it all up for rockschool. I still love musicals and still do the odd song (and i've been asked to do some parts in les mis, and chicago by my vocals teacher), but i'd never go back to just doing that.

stupid i know but-grease

[Namaste]

Personally I find some musicals pretentious, but one I do like is Phantom of the Opera... No, not because of the new film, I saw it years ago...

The musical score is breath taking performed live and the chandeleer falling is wicked. I loved it, it was magical.

[omg hi]

Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera both went right over my head, didn't follow them at all. But then I'm a bit challenged in the brain cells area... ;)

I like Fame a lot. And Grease. oh yes. That's about all my intellect can cope with.

[ali_1989]

Les Miserables

Definately my favourite, we did a production of it at school once and it was amazing. We had to run the show for a week because it was soo popular and people came to see it like three times!
