ugh. I'm a bunch of years past 21 and can't stand most of the old stuff. I know, I know - heresy! I can take Lerner and Loewe. But when it comes to R&H, I have to turn down even a free ticket. Maybe because these shows are done *all the time* by local theatres or schools and often not well.

Im barely under 21 and I am more of a fan of modern musicals. Basically Rogers and Hammerstein and ALW make me want to rip my eye balls out and eat them!

I'm 20 years old and I enjoy a musical by Rogers & Hammerstein, except State Fair. But I just love old-time musicals in general...Anything Goes, West Side Story, Guys & Dolls, Oklahoma, Brigadoon, Carousel, Paint Your Wagon, Hello Dolly, Camelot, White Christmas, The Pajama Game, South Pacific, The King and I, I'm a fan of all of them.

I'm a huge Cole Porter fan... I'd love for Anything Goes to be revived.

Im 16 and I love Guys and Dolls! Old musicals just show you how great shows we've had thru the years.

I dig Cole Porter.

I love Cole Porter. The others aren't really my taste, except a few Rodgers & Hammerstein things, but I can appreciate their genius.

I love older musicals, they were the first ones I was introduced to.

I do! I'm 14, and love Golden Age musicals. Rodgers and Hammerstein were basically what got me into theatre (I'm sure not a day goes by where my parents don't curse their names).

[theatreboi11]

I do agree with that. Eventhough I do not prefer older musicals, I do still appriciate them. We would not have the musicals today if it wasn't for the genious of past theatre. Also I respect the fact these creators were actually talented enough to write a complete score, unlike the many creators of 5 min prep time juke box musicals! God let us hope this fad dies NOW!

LOVE!!! Cole Porter. Anything Goes and Kiss Me Kate are some of my favorite shows. I don;t mind the other 2 but i'd rather see something else.

Some of my favorite shows/cast recordings are Anything Goes, West Side Story, The King and I and Fiddler on the Roof. :)

Love Cole Porter, Anything Goes was one of my firsts!!!

I love Cole Porter, but you forgot some other important Golden Age dudes- George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Kurt Weill, and Irving Berlin. They rock my socks. For the number of famous songs he wrote, Arlen is the most undeservedly obscure (he wrote Wizard of Oz, for God's sake!).

I won't be 21 for another year.

I was raised listening to the Golden Age musicals on my parents' records and The Music Man was my absolute favorite. I was 5 and I knew all the words to "Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little", which convinced my parents I would later become an auctioneer.
