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.

Point of order Review Master:

> I base my affection for this musical purely on the music by Boublil & Schonberg, the
> splendid lyrics of Kretzmer

Alain Boubil had little or nothing to do with the music for Les Mis - he was the original French lyricist and presumably the advisor for Kretzmer's translation. Schoenberg wrote all of the music for the show, as was also the case for Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre.

And for those interested in other spheres of music (e.g. Eliot) did you know that the Claude-Michel Schoenberg of Les Mis fame is the great nephew of the famous German atonal composer Arnold Schoenberg of Transfigured Night/Pierrot Luniere fame? It interested me anyway...
