Hard choices to make in reality. So many musicals have so much charm. These are just my choices based on reflecting now. They are bound to change from one day to the next.

Not really since conventional musicals tell a story. I dont beleieve you can have a musical without that basic ellement. Simalar to music, I dont think its actually music unless someone sings (apposed to screaming or talking down a microphone)
Call me old fashiond lol

Guys and Dolls is my favorite
I think it's a nostalgia thing though, my parents took me to see it a couple of times.
South Park is good, and Pink....? wanted me to see some Cannibals musical she said was good

My god Len I had forgotten all about that one!
I remember watching when it was broadcast on BBC2 I think?
Sat there with my jaw firmly against the floor, yet laughing hystericly at the same time.
Not to everybodies taste understandibly..but I though it was top
Having said that The Sound of Music, wins hands down, over anything IMO

Musicals! People are talking about musicals? I'm both surprised and delighted.
My list:
Sunday in the Park with George
The Sound of Music
Moulin Rouge
(Jesus Christ Superstar is a runner-up but I find it most pleasurable listening to it as an album rather than watching it live or otherwise).
Once More with Feeling is also a runner-up only because, brilliant as it is, I don't think it stands up story-wise on its own without all the rest of the Buffy mythos that surrounds it.

Evil Dead is being made in to a musical....sheesh.
See today I more in a Rocky Horror, We Will Rock you and Rent mood.
Although I did watch Brigadoon on cable the other day. That's a pretty nice old one. Pretty much anything with Gene Kelly puts a smile on my face. That guy was strapping.

It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
I saw it performed at my high school. It was rather worrying how Arthur was played by a teacher and Guinevere by twin pupils....
