Time for the favorites Posts!!! Ok now...
What's your favorite musical?
My favorite musical is...hard to say! I love the Phantom of the Opera, but I'm a phan because I love the story and the many different versions. So...I'd have to say 'at the moment' my favorite musical is "The Last Five Years". I love the story. It frustrates you though because it's such a well known story as in almost everyone has been in this situation.

On Broadway right now: Nine. I was just blown away by it and became obsessed immediately.
Max,
I really thought your favorite would have been that Max Bialystock classic production of "When Cousins Marry".
...WHEN COUSINS MARRY was a 'straight' play!
(Well, at least we thought so until the two Understudy's were late from lunch that one afternoon...)
The question was about Musicals, dear Al!
Hence, I stick to my FUNNY BOY response!
Memorial Day greetings to all --- Rex, stay away from the flagpole, Boy!
Fondly,

One of my favorites, if not my all time favorite , is "It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Superman". Showing my age here. By the way, anyone know what happened to Bob Holiday who portrayed the man of steel?
