I love a musical.

Seen most but saw Book of Mormon last night, good lord it's amazing!
So funny, so inappropriate, so non pc.

What's your favourite?

Book of Mormon is incredible!

West side story is my favourite, I just love it and the songs are beautiful.

HAMILTON

BartonHollow · 31/01/2019 16:35

My faves are :

Wicked
The Lion King
Hamilton

I recently enjoyed Everybody's Talking About Jamie

And Sunny Afternoon is brilliant and doesn't get enough love

Felt disappointed in Matilda

The Commitments was dire and I left at the interval

14allall41 · 31/01/2019 16:37

West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof are my favourites.

I've listened to the soundtrack of Book of Mormon loads of times, but not seen it yet.

TeenTimesTwo · 31/01/2019 16:38

Legally Blonde was ace
Lion King spectacular
Les Mis emotional

puppymouse · 31/01/2019 16:39

Book of Mormon was one of the best shows I've ever seen!

@BartonHollow

I agree about commitments, overhyped.

Sadly Matilda too.

I shall look up everybody's talking about Jamie and sunny afternoon.
Thank you.

Yy to West Side Story and the Producers. I’d like to throw in Parade - amazing songs and absolutely heartbreaking.

Coffeeandcrochet · 31/01/2019 17:03

I have a HUGE soft spot for Guys and Dolls as well Smile

violeticecream · 31/01/2019 17:18

I have recently been introduced to the theatre by my teenage daughter. Have seen
Jamie - totally fantastic
Heathers - really good
Wicked - loved it
Matilda - okay
Is Book of Mormon an adult only one?
Next one she wants us to see is waitress

TooDamnSarky · 31/01/2019 17:30

Tough to choose but probably...

Fiddler on the roof
Westside story
Carousel
Chess
Matilda
Tell me on a Sunday

TooDamnSarky · 31/01/2019 17:31

And
'A little light music' gets an mention just for 'send in the clowns'

JamieFraserskneewarmer · 31/01/2019 17:43

Company - superb if you like Sondheim
Hadestown was also excellent but sadly finished its run now
Book of Mormon - seen it three times and, yes, adults only!
Looking forwards to Waitress

JarndyceVersusJarndyce · 31/01/2019 17:45

Les Mis
Lion King
Blood Brothers
Heathers

ElliePhillips · 31/01/2019 17:48

I saw Leave to Remain last week at the Hammersmith Lyric. It is brand new and incredible.

ElliePhillips · 31/01/2019 17:49

Forgot to say: It is NOT about Brexit

Ocies · 31/01/2019 17:49

Yes, yes to Company, totally fab Sondheim.
