I love love love musicals!

My first was when I was about 10- Cats.

I have so many that I've seen from when they travel.. I loved Sunset Blvd., Chicago, RENT, Annie, Jesus Christ Superstar.

Next week I'm seeing my very first broadway.. ON BROADWAY. I'm going to see Wicked, which I hear is good.

What's your favorite broadway?

I'm a Broadway nut (not like Rosie though).....Les Miserables by far my favorite..Enjoy yourself!!!

Here's my list of what I have seen and my opinions on them....

Showboat (terrific)u

Les Mis (I was drunk and dizzy with all of the stage spinning...didn't like it much)

Phantom of the Opera (my first and favorite...sooo beautiful and haunting...I've seen it three times)

The Sound of Music (Really amazing....although, we had front row tickets and it was too close!!!)

Beauty and the Beast (two times...phenomenal...truly phenomenal!!!)

Love (John Lennon---was really good...I was frankly surprised by how much I liked it...)

That's all I can think of...

Enjoy!!! I've heard Wicked is amazing...

Rain

i have seen Wicked in Chicago twice. Its amazing! u will love it

Love is awesome too! I didn't consider that a broadway, but I guess it is!!

Miss Saigon was very good.

Showboat is the ONLY musical I didn't like. I walked out during the intermission.

I walked out during intermission of Phantom of the Opera too. I've always loved the music to it, but when we went to see it.. I don't remember if the sound was messed up or what, but it made absolutely no sense and we couldn't figure out what was going on. I liked the movie though.

Les Miserables soundtrack is another favorite of mine, but I've never had the opportunity to see it. It's on my list! The movie was good, but it had no music :biggrin:

What about hair? I loved the movie, but the live musical was weird!

Ah Fairy, I love your thread. I grew up on Long Island, and my mom took me into Manhattan all the time growing up to see shows (my dad & brothers weren't such fans).

Didn't see hair but here are a few that I just loved:

A Chorus Line

Evita

La Cag aux Folles

The Wiz

Miss Saigon

I literally could go on...When DH is not home I blast my soundtracks:)

Me too, and when I'm driving by myself. DH hates musicals, so I can't ever listen to them around him

Rent is my absolute fav...

Others I have seen include but aren't limited to: (LOL)

Le Mis

Joseph

Beauty and the Beast

Camelot --> sucked

Phantom

Chicago

Did I mention that Camelot was terrible? Lou DIamond Phillips is as bad on the big screen as he is on stage!

I grew up 10 miles outside of NYC and would take the bus into the City to see Broadway shows. Now I will be showing my age, but here goes, saw Paul Newman in Sweet Bird of Youth. Sat in the rear but could still see his blue eyes. Saw the original cast of Camelot, Richard Burton, Robert Goulet (oh GORGEOUS), Julie Andrew and Roddy McDowell, Caberet, the Wiz which was awesome. Saw tons more and loved everyone. Of course most of them I saw when they were affordable. Then I moved out of the area but recently returned. My favorites since I've been back to NJ were Bring on the Noise, Bring on the Funk and I saw Brian Dennehy in Death of a Salesman. Another (oh GORGEOUS, but can use a lap band, lol.) I want to see Jersey Boys as a birthday present to myself. I saw some good road shows while living in Alaska and Puerto Rico, i.e. Chorus Line and Man of La Mancha.....I'm so happy I grew up where I did. Now that I'm losing weight I plan to spend lots more time in NY, walking around, enjoying museums and sitting in the tiny theater seats, lol.

My first Beauty and the Beast (seen it 2 times)

Aida was great

Les Miserables ( one my favorites)

Lion King (seen it 3 times-- the kids love it!)

I've got to get back into the city to see some more....

Oh you are so lucky to see Wicked!! I've lived in NYC for 2 years now and I've not made it to Wicked yet. :regular_smile: I hear it's spectacular. Wicked and Spring Awakening are top on my list to see next. It gets so expensive to go to the plays all the time. I've tried for the lottery they have at Wicked where you stand in line a couple of hours before showtime and they draw numbers. If you win, front row tickets for $25. I'm holding out hope, that I'll be chosen one time.

I've seen Chicago, The Grinch, Les Miserables, and Legally Blonde here. I was a little bored with Les Mis. The others were all great though.

My all time favorite musical, which I saw as a kid, is Bye Bye Birdie. lol.

I am taking my daughter to New York to see Wicked on broadway for her 16th birthday! She loves broadway shows and so do I. We have soo much fun when we go there for the day and just do girl stuff!! I am counting down the days until March 26th!!

One of my life goals was to see a musical in New York on Broadway. The first one I saw was Beauty and the Beast. I was so overwhelmed that I was actually seeing it in NEW YORK that I cried. I also saw Lion King there. Both amazing - Lion King the best though.

I've seen many musicals other than on Broadway - too many to count here. I LOVE musicals. I love musical movies too.
