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.

Hi Guys! I'm new to the site, joining you from Albany!

This is a really tough question to answer, but I'd have to say my favourites are: West Side Story, A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity (absolutely love Shirley McLaine), Hair, Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. I also like Les Miserables and just about anything Sondheim has written. I love musicals with lots of harmony and rousing chorus numbers, and dancing (I'm very partial to big dance numbers like the one in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers). I also like the old musicals with Doris Day that you could watch on a Saturday arvo in the seventies. OK lets face it, if it has singing and dancing I'm there!
I've enjoyed reading everyones contributions, thanks!
Hi Gill!! (That's my sister)

Be hearing from you
