If you like musicals obviously!
I love Hamilton, followed by les mis and wicked. Also going to see jamie this year.
Hamilton with the original cast on Disney is just incredible.

Frozen

Then Wicked or Les Mis

Are you me? My top 3 are Les Mis, Hamilton and Miss Saigon. Closely followed by nearly every other musical ever written.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 30/04/2023 17:55

My current top three (which can change at any time!)

  1. Blood Brothers
  2. Les Mis
  3. Hamilton

Come from away.

Hamilton, Six and Les Mis were also fab and well worth watching but it will take something very special to beat come from away.

MojoJojo71 · 30/04/2023 17:57

At the moment my favourites are Hamilton, Wicked and Blood brothers but I’ll always have a soft spot for My Fair Lady.

Hamilton, Come From Away and Jesus Christ Superstar.
CFA is beautiful, I was in tears from start to finish.
Eagerly awaiting UK tour news!

Avenue Q, Hairspray, a chorus line, Joseph

Me too, I'm hopeful that it will tour somewhere nearby as I'd love to see it again, I heartily recommend it! The only problem I have with CFA is trying to explain the premise to those who haven't heard of it before. It's hard to do it justice and a few people have raised their eyebrows when I've mention the plot.

Singin in the Rain is my all time favourite. I also have a soft spot for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, despite the somewhat dodgy story line!

bellalou1234 · 30/04/2023 18:04

Evita

Bimbom · 30/04/2023 18:05

Hamilton and Billy Elliot

mbosnz · 30/04/2023 18:05

Chess, JC Superstar, Cats, Hamilton, in no particular order.

MrsMitford3 · 30/04/2023 18:06

Six, Hamilton, Wicked, Les Mis

Loathed Phantom and Cats

HomeSeck · 30/04/2023 18:06

Fiddler on the Roof

OMG Saw Seven Brides at Regents Park Open Air theatre a few years ago and it was absolutely brilliant!!!!!

BabbleBee · 30/04/2023 18:07

I’m old school - Starlight Express is due a comeback, surely?!

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/04/2023 18:08

Phantom! Also Rent and Evita.

WutheredOut · 30/04/2023 18:09

Dear Evan Hansen (the stage show not the film)
Hamilton
Wicked

SiliconHeaven · 30/04/2023 18:09

Chicago is my favourite, really love Hamilton, Book of Mormon too and older classics like 42 street, singing in the rain, guys and dolls.

Fabvegetablegrower · 30/04/2023 18:10

Westside Story.

Scheanasgreytooth · 30/04/2023 18:12

Miss Saigon has been my favourite for years, closely followed by Hamilton!

Can't wait to see Six this summer.

REP22 · 30/04/2023 18:15

I loved Sunset Boulevard. Also Jesus Christ Superstar (especially with Steve Balsamo and Zubin Varla), Les Mis, Miss Saigon and Beauty and the Beast.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/04/2023 18:18

Chicago
Sound of Music
Sister Act

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/04/2023 18:18

If Sister Act doesn't count, then Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
