Wicked all the way.

Who for? Adults/children/ages/genders?

Saw Wicked in New York and it was fab. But I'd love to see Africa Africa (Afrika?) at the O2 arena!

I loved The Sound of Music (but I think Connie has left now, she was great). The Phantom of the Opera is brilliant also if you haven't seen it.

Dirty Dancing.

OOOH you lucky thing!!! Agree Wicked is wonderful but it depends what you are after. I still love Les Mis but it will break your heart. If you want a feel good Hairspray is great.

Wicked, Wicked, Wicked, Wicked...

It's blardy wicked! Seen it twice, have the CD, would go tonight if I could.

3andnomore · 26/05/2008 15:01

I was going to suggest Miss Saigon...but apparnetly the show is closed now in teh UK ;( Twas a beautyful Musical

3andnomore · 26/05/2008 15:03

how about Lion King, that is still running, I believe, and my mother and es both are completley taken with it!

Gobbledigook · 26/05/2008 15:04

this does not even do it justice

Go now before Kerry Ellis goes - she is brilliant but off to play Elphaba on Broadway in July.

SpookyMadMummy · 26/05/2008 15:11

Another vote for Wicked here! I saw it before the MN meet-up in November 2006 and I would go again like a shot!

Saymyname · 26/05/2008 15:17

Billy Elliott, I saw it earlier this year and it is fantastic.

Just looked at teh wicked link, and it does seem a real good show....
I love musicals, but will you believe it, the only one I have ever seen is Miss Saigon...there are so many I want to see one day...

Gobbledigook · 26/05/2008 15:31

FAQ - Mars has seen it as well and loved it. YOu must report back on what you think!

HumphreyC · 26/05/2008 15:31

Spamalot is great fun.

Would Wicked be suitable for a 7 year old? Wondering if I should take dd....
