Favourite musical and song?

[Sogoodfeelssobad]

What is your favourite musical, stage or screen, and why? You can only pick one!
Name your best/favourite song from that musical - again only one!

Tough choice. Probably One Day More from Les Mis or I Still Believe from Miss Saigon.

But then again, It's a Hard Knock Life from Annie does stick in my head on a constant loop.

Oops sorry, just reread and I've failed to meet the brief of only one.

And I’m telling you - Dreamgirls

Now that is a choon

Oh what about Good morning Baltimore? Sorry too many

My newest favourite is ‘You will be found’ from Dear Evan Hansen

Just want to applaud @EvilTwins!

Newsies - Santa Fe. The movie version not the stage show

On The Town - Some Other Time

@FenellaMaxwell Thank you!

The Last Five Years, all of it, every word but especially 'If I Didn't Believe In You'

Ahh Jeremy Jordan, sigh...

Ds & dh were due to go to the Southwark Playhouse Production just after the theatres closed. They were so disappointed.

But yes, Jeremy Jordan. We saw his Cadogan Hall concert and he was fantastic. (I still think Jamie is a though).

Burn from Hamilton.

Rent and "You're what you own"

First one that came to mind as there are hundreds I could have chosen!

I do love watching Musicals on the TV but unfortunately haven't been able to see many at the theatre.

I really love Don't Rain on My Parade from Funny Girl, it just makes me feel so happy and I can't help but sing along.

I'm a sucker for two (or more) different melodies(?) being sung simultaneously, and I love Confrontation in Les Mis. Obviously had to watch it several times to listen to whoever is singing the dominant part of the song, and then again (and again, and again...) to listen to the quieter part sung simultaneously.

By the same token, One Day More, but my favourite from Les Mis is Do You Hear the People Sing.

Somewhere- West Side Story
Easy Terms- Blood Brothers
She Used To Be Mine- Waitress
I'm Here- The Color Purple
Why God Why- Miss Saigon

Oh nearly forgot one of my very faves-

Gethsemane- Jesus Christ Superstar

She used to be mine - Waitress.
There's so many different songs from so many musicals I could have picked, but when I heard this sang live in the theatre it made me sob.

Favourite musical is Mephisto-le-Spectacle
Favourite song from that musical is Un Nouveau Jour

@Comefromaway we also had tickets for the Last Five Years at Southwark Playhouse and missed it by 2 days.

We also saw JJ at Cadogan Hall (swoon).

I'm now thinking about Miss Saigon. I have just watched a video of Peter Polycarpou (original cast) singing Bui Doi, which sent shivers down my spine and had me welling up because of the real footage of the Vietnamese children.

I was just 16 when I saw the original production of Miss Saigon at Drury Lane.

I love Jeremy Jordan so much!! There’s a video on YouTube of him singing She Used To Be Mine from Waitress and it’s AMAZING!

@Comefromaway, I was also a teenager when I saw the original production. My first West End show :-)

Difficult but narrowed it to 3 (sorry, best I could manage:

Sweet Charity, Shirley McClain “If They Could See Me Now
Camelot, How to Handle a Woman, Richard Harris
Don Quixote, The Impossible Dream, Peter O’Toole
