What's your favourite stage musical?

[Namechangeforhair]

Saw Wicked yesterday for the first time. It was so incredible. Am desperate to see it again! Cant get the songs out of my head although the plot was nuts.

Rocky horror show

Phantom. Seen it 3 times. Really want it to come back up borth so i can take dd.

North!

Hamilton by a mile. Blew me away and would love to see it again

Heathers the music is good fun

I’ll always love Phantom because it was the first one I saw when I was 15.

My favourite is Kinky Boots.

heathers the musical*

I saw hairspray on the west end and loved it, saw the pro tour and it was awful, beyond awful! It’s the kind of thing you would think was a very well done school play. Love wicked and Book of Mormon. Love the lyrics and parts of Matilda but wish the over the top parts (like her parents) would be toned down, it ruins it for me

Phantom

Also love Les Mis

But phantom my go to

I'll always love Starlight Express because it was the first show I saw in the West End.
Cried at Miss Saigon & Phantom. Mary Poppins was fab & my unexpected hit was Priscilla, Queen of the desert.
Off to see Hamilton next month - can't wait!

Les Mis booked to see it for the sixth time.

Going to see Hamilton in a couple of weeks and taking my daughter to see Matilda tour for her birthday will be her first stage musical.

Wicked is great the book it is based on is even weirder than the musical

Phantom and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I was only 15 when I saw Phantom and I fell in love with it.

Chitty was great on stage. I only went because my friend's son had a role, but it was hugely entertains and enjoyable.

Memphis, closely followed by A Chorus Line and Legally Blonde

Sweeney Todd or Hamilton. It was tough to choose a fav Sondheim though.

I adore Phantom / Les Mis / Miss Siagon - so they are my joint top choices.

Also love Billy Elliot (the closing night in London with all 4 Billy's tag teamig the role was amazing) and since having DC I find it quite emotional. Avenue Q is also great and I adored Rent, but it has aged a little.

I love musical theatre and incredible lucky to have seen a lot of shows over the last 20 years, including many of the top performers as well - I saw Idina Menzel in Wicked and Lea Salonga and Johnathon Pryce at the 25th anniversary performance of Miss Siagon.

Book of Mormon

Was nearly sick laughing

Rocky horror show, little shop of horrors and Avenue Q

10/10
Miss Siagon
Lion King
Les Mis
Starlight Express...wish they would brung back

9/10
School of Rock
Charlie and the Chocolate

7/10
Matilda (sorry just didnt like it)
Phantom

Jersey Boys

Joseph I think, but it was the first I ever saw (with Jason Donavan who I loved at the time). Close second is phantom then 3rd probably bat out of hell. Not seen any I didn't like though! Possibly guys and dolls was my worst favourite.

Legally blonde is fantastic. Also loved Hairspray, We Will Rock You and American Idiot.

Saw Joseph with Joe McElderry and totally adored every minute.

Would love to see Hamilton and Bat Out of Hell

Hamilton... nothing else is close.

We're going to blood brothers in 3 weeks and Les miserables in February. Amazing shows

I’m not much of a fan of musicals although I’ve seen quite a few as DH and DC like them. I particularly disliked Wicked. I make an exception for Bat Out of Hell, the Musical. I’ve seen it three times and am going again on Wednesday.

I love Legally Blonde , Wicked left me cold , I’d have happily left at the interval but I had taken dd and she seemed to be enjoying it .
