What are your favourite musicals and why?

Wed, 12 Sept 2001, 10:20 pm

Hi all,

Now just what is your favourite musical/s and why ? I hope to get a great response from this one! (if i get any that is)

My all time favourites list include Les Miserables (of course!), also the King and I, Oliver, My Fair Lady. There are more of course but I don't want to go into too many right now.

I'll talk about why I adore these musicals when i get some kind of feedback on the topic.

*Pretty much anything by Sondheim. Why? He is just brilliant. His music does it for me in a big way, he collaborates with excellent writers and the stories are grown-up, fascinating and never twee.

*Maltby and Shire's shows (except for "Big"). Sure "Closer Than Ever" and "Starting Here, Starting Now" are musical reviews, "just a bunch of songs" to some, but they are bloody great songs - each one a story in itself! The lyrics affect me and the music is beautiful, inspiring, funny....

*Falsetto's. It's real, it's beautiful. It moves me.

Cheers,
Gill
