Boyfriends
Who would I add...
Radames (Aida)
Jimmy (Thoroughly Modern Millie)
Cornelius (Hello Dolly!)
Marius (Les Miserables)
Sky (Mamma Mia!)
Will Parker (Oklahoma!)
Don Lockwood (Singin' In The Rain)
Gabey (On The Town)
Just to name a few...
I love that Raoul is on the list for PHANTOM and then that's all sent to Hell in LOVE NEVER DIES.
As a Raoul fan I tend to pretend that Love Never Dies is a terrible Fan Fiction and nothing more.
I'd add Beau from Mame.
Drew, Rock of Ages
I love this description of Tony
"Tony, West Side Story - This Romeo of the streets takes the number one spot for the most dashing beau. He triumphs because be you a Jet or a Shark, love is worth fighting for, regardless of color, race, or creed. You know that somewhere there will be a place for you two, as love perseveres"
Exactly when during the show does he "triumph"? He loses control and kills his girlfriends brother and in the end gets killed himself. To me, that is not "triumph".
Also, love does not perservere.

Radames isn't really that great a boyfriend to his actual fiance Amneris.
He also has sex with his GF, the second day they know each other.
I always kind of wish the West Side Story timeline was stretched out.
agreed. If Henry were my bf, i would be sooooo happy!!!!

Huey? The man who singlehandedly nearly destroyed his fiancé's career?
I think not...

but did radames choose amneris as his fiance? i only saw the show once ages ago, and the sense i get from listening to the OBC is that it was probably an arranged marraige, or at east something he was just doing because it was expected of him. therefore i wouldnt expect him to be a good boyfriend to her.
Amos from Chicago...even though he's a hubby
Also, Jean Michel from La Cage!
