Superman

We could use him now. He would knock that bad economy out of this world much like he did to one of the bad guys in "Pow Bam Zonk" - one of the funniests numbers I have seen on stage.

For me it was Legally Blonde. I would always have a smile on my face after seeing it.

Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Hairspray and Spamalot are just smiles and laughter from begining to end. Other really fun ones like Full Monty and Legally Blonde have their small conflict/sorta sad scenes, but basically have me leaving the theater happy.

I'd rather be reckless than rockless.

Its already been said, but Xanadu hands down!

I'd also put Zanna, Don't! in this category as well as Once Upon a Mattress and the good old classic, Annie.

Men don't even belt.

Hairspray definitely tops my list too - with Curtains a close second and Spamalot not far off the pace.

Seen some shows in my time....

Xanadu should be named a street drug

I have a 5 grams of XANADU in my pocket

Hairspray, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, parts of High School Musical (I'm not ashamed to admit that), [title of show], and though it's not "stage musical" per se - The Nightmare Before Christmas.
