Ooooo, I love a musical, I do. Which one is your favourite?

[CharleyDavidson]

Just love a musical. DD2 and I just back from Rhyl where we watched Joseph.

I have tickets booked for Cats, Rocky Horror, Joseph (again, somewhere else) and Chicago - which I've never seen yet.

[Ilovenannyplum]

Oh and Rock of Ages, loved that! It was like a massive party

[Ilovenannyplum]

And Charlie and the chocolate factory. That was good too.

Right I'm done now, I promise!

[Savagebeauty]

Sweeney Todd ( in fact any Sondheim musical)
Witches of Eastwick
In the Heights
West side story.

[Dowser]

Forgot Buddy...that was fantastic.

Dirty dancing was pretty good too.

Would love to see Mary poplins and loved the film jersey boys

Gosh, I've seen more than I realised.

[Dowser]

Here's another one
Fiddler on the roof with Topol which was just amazing.

[Brekekekex]

Parade
Guys and Dolls - can't believe more people haven't mentioned this one! So many great songs!

[Dowser]

River dance and lord of the dance. Not technically musicals but absolutely amazing.

Took my mum too before the Alzheimer's got her.

[FiaMarrow]

Oliver! (Dd loves this as well)
Sound of Music
West Side Story
Oklahoma

I saw Buddy once because my Dad wanted to. I didn't know what to expect but it was absolutely brilliant.

Carousel when they sing "You'll never walk alone", especially the second time. Oh the tears.

Does Frozen count? It's got some cracking songs

[AndYourBirdCanSing]

Les Mis and Rent are my favourites but have seen a fair few.

Really want to see Jersey Boys

[Frickle]

Anything by Sondheim, with my favourites of those I've seen A Little Night Music and Sunday in the Park with George. In terms of more mainstream stage musicals, I have a guilty liking for the 1980s lunacy of Phantom, and also like the Lerner and Loewe/Rogers and Hammerstein classics.

Billy Elliot, which I only saw because I was escorting relatives, was unexpectedly good, but Wicked is gidawful, and has only two decent songs. I don't get the love at all.

[TeamEponine]

Miss Saigon is my absolute favourite. I think I've seen it twelve times now.

I also love Jesus Christ Superstar.

My username may give away another favourite musical of mine!

[MadauntofA]

Return to the forbidden planet - definitely!
Loved les mis, miss Saigon, phantom
Would love to see Jesus Christ superstar
Went to see Evita with Marty Pellow and hated it - Antonio Banderas will forever be ache for me!

[SorrelForbes]

Impossible to choose but for starters:

Merrily We Roll Along
Anything Goes
The Drowsy Chaperone
Pippin
Gypsy
Oklahoma!

My favourite has to be Guys and Dolls.
OP My friend is playing Nicely Nicely Johnson in the production you saw in Liverpool.

[vvviola]

MadamDeathstare ooh, yes, Oliver and My Fair Lady would be a good start.

MaryFlynn unfortunately taking them to the theatre here is just not in the budget. Mary Poppins was here over Christmas and it would have cost €300 just for the tickets for the 4 of us. I resent paying €70 for a show for a 4 year old who may not manage the whole show.

My plan is to indoctrinate them first and then pay the money for the shows when I know they'll appreciate it (or when we can go to London and have a good choice)

[vvviola]

I don't know how I forgot Guys ana Dolls. I love it. We did it at school. I was just a random chorus member drawback of being an alto, they always want you in the chorus

[MoustachedMammoth]

Hope you don't mind me posting, it looks a good place to ask! My DD, 4, loves singing and dancing so I thought she might like a musical, but I've no idea where to start or what is suitable for young children. I just got confused on Amazon. Can anyone recommend one? Would have to be a dvd version as we can't travel to shows.

[HerbieRidesAgain]

I loved Phantom, until I saw Les Mis, and then I saw Miss Saigon - all absolutely fantastic.
I adored Lion KIng, and Wicked

I didn't enjoy Cats

[Savagebeauty]

I didn't like Cats either. And We will rock you was the worst thing I have ever seen.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is excellent.
And Joseph has great songs.
So many!!

[bruffin]

Dd is going to do the letter to Anjelica as a monologue for her drama. She has a pretty voice and it is a lovely song but i think she needs something spoken

[bruffin]

I also forgot my ALWs
Jesus Christ Superstar, phantom and joseph

[CharleyDavidson]

Liverpool empire is going to be taking a lot of my money. ...
They have bodyguard, footloose, cats, Chicago, blood brothers, rocky, white Christmas, sister act and ghost.
Definitely booking ghost and I think blood brothers. Already have tickets for Chicago and Rocky.
