Is there a unanimous favorite?

Gaw I want to see this! Ditto! It sounds great!

Into the Woods: the Witch My Fair Lady: Eliza, of course Wicked: Elphaba (I'd say Glinda, too, but I am quite un-Galindaish *ga-sigh*) If I were a man and could sing whatever I'd like... Fiddler: Tevye (!) My Fair Lady: Henry Higgins Oklahoma: Will

people/teenyboppers who obsess over Wicked and Idina...etc.. Proving someone with mild dyslexia shouldn't skim posts. That one became "obsess over Wicked in India." A tour in India!? My eyes almost fell out. Anyway, I don't have a problem with the teenyboppers (if they don't use webspeak, excessive capitalization or punctuation, or the word "enthuse" while ranting about their obsession and) if it might get them interested in the rest of the theatre world. Interest has to come from somewhere, ...

I saw said touring cast last December, and that night, Elphaba was Stephanie J. Block and G(a)linda was Katie Adams (u/s for Kendra). Great cast, awesome show. I've also heard that Julia's amazing, so I wouldn't worry. And if your show is anything like mine, you won't be disappointed. At all.

Oh, sounds fun! I'll be looking forward to that.

Most of the end of WSS with all of the groups singing the differing parts at once. Just before the last part of Defying Gravity when she yells, "It's MEE!" and rises until the end. No Good Deed Finale of Wicked The end of the dream sequence in Oklahoma for some reason. Octet from Piazza Various parts in Phantom

"People Will Think We're in Love" - Oklahoma "Namely You" - Li'l Abner "Wait and See" - Harvey Girls Those are just a few that haven't been named yet.

Fiddler on the Roof (listening to the 30th anniversary Topol version now. I love it) Light in the Piazza My Fair Lady Oklahoma Music Man (Robert Preston/Shirley Jones version)/ Wicked/ Into the Woods (Because I can't choose only five.)

What about Oklahoma? A few years ago, a junior high in my area did Oklahoma. Laurie, Ado Annie, and the EverlastingGiggler (whatever her name was) were great for a bunch of thirteen-year-olds, but I will never forget that poor boy who played Curly. Poor pre-pubescent kid. I think he sang higher than Laurie.

Stephanie, Idina (not at the Tony's, though. That scared me there... but perhaps my speakers are faulty or something), and Eden all rank as my favorites. Of what I've heard of Shoshana I like, but occasionally, she gets too bright even for me: "grav-ih-tEEE," "mEE." I do have to admire everyone who's done the song (er, in the show; no drunks), though, for really making it their own.

Solos: "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" - My Fair Lady "On the Street Where You Live" - MFL "'Til There Was You" - Music Man "Il Mondo Era Vuoto" - Piazza "The Boy Next Door" - Meet Me in St. Louis Duets: "Do You Love Me?" - Fiddler on the Roof (I absolutely *love* this song.) "People Will Say We're in Love" - Oklahoma "Say It Somehow" - Piazza "All I Ask of You" - Phantom

There are too many brilliant musicals, several for each mood I might be in, so I'll just name--in no particular order: Fiddler on the Roof Carousel My Fair Lady Meet Me in St. Louis Oklahoma! The King and I Into the Woods Wicked The Music Man The Sound of Music West Side Story The Light in the Piazza Phantom of the Opera Chicago L'il Abner I'm a nerd. Happily.
