Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, its DDs favourite.

She calls it Chilly Bang, and sings along when that song comes on! She is two.

dd loves Singing in the Rain, though she loses concentration at the talky bits. She has the CD soundtrack too.

My DS fell in love with CATS and Joseph at 3 so maybe she might like them.

DS is nearly 8 and still watches CATS !

South Pacific - if only so you can gaze adoringly at Rossano Brazzi. smile

Lovely ideas here, thanks.

CATS is fab - I saw the show when I was a child and just adored the CD.

DD was sitting on the end of her bed the other evening singing 'The Boy Next Door' - she is only 3 - it brought a tear to my eye

Remember friends 3 year old wandering through allotment singing "oh Sandy.......Oh SANDY....Maybe someday when......." spooky but sweet

I'm not gone on Grease actually... not quite yet smile

DD loved Annie at 18 months, Sound of music at 2, Seven Brides for seven Brothers at two and a half. Chorus line at three. We lived in fear that she would give a rendition of Tits and Ass at nursery. Her first musical was Cats at three and Les Mis. She is on stage now by the way.

dd2 (big musical lover unfortunately) just loved Calamity Jane
Contact the poster Contact mumsnet about this post By pointydog on Mon 08-Sep-08 20:32:39
dd2 was given Grease when 6 (and is in fact watching it right now). I found it a little inappropriate although the sex references just went over her head.

Cats the stage show is atrocious.

DD and DS love Mamma Mia (not a classic musical but fab songs)

Les Demoiselles de Rochefort wink

You might be able to get a copy of Ingmar Bergman's The Magic Flute in France - it's not available in Britain

What? No High School Musical?

The Aristocats is absolutely brilliant, has fantastic songs and great animation.

Second the Jungle Book (whilst I'm on a cartoon musical theme smile)

Lady and the Tramp is also excellent isn't snooks
The Slipper and the Rose (if you can stomach Gemma Craven and Richard Chamberlain) is quite sweet

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
