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!

I love the pink sparkly waistcoat tap dance routine to Turn It Off Hedgehog. It's fab.

Guys and Dolls - Fugue for Tinhorns

Rent - Seasons of Love

Rent - Seasons Of Love

Maybe this Time- Cabernet. Liza Minellus performance is fragile and brassy and hopeful. Stunning song, performed with such gusto, one of those moments you can see the Oscar being earned (in the film obvs!)

For the Last Five Years fans on the thread, the composer Jason Robert Brown streamed a concert from his residency at Subculture in New York featuring Ariana Grande singing 'Still Hurting'.

I was lucky enough to see his last London concert and highly recommend catching him when he is in town next. Always an amazing cast of guest stars, some known and some newcomers making their mark. A great way to hear new music, it was the first time I had heard his song 'Hope', which I find a bit of anthem for current times.

(I love the story that he write this about how he felt the morning after Trump won the Presidential election)

Is that the one they filmed especially on lockdown? I loved the opening song but laughed at the slightly disinterested demeanour of his daughters who he’d commandeered as backing singers.

Ds would LOVE to see him live. His piano playing is insane.

Yes it's the one from last week. He was phenomenal live, possibly the concert I've ever seen, though that is a close run with Jeremy at Cadogan Hall...

Maria - West Side Story

Actually the whole musical is fabulous.

For anyone who mentioned Hamilton Disney+ have announced the full show will be available on there from 3rd July

Jason Robert Brown was new to me - what a knockout! Thanks PP - wll be downloading as much as I can

A bit like Kurt Elling
