Best Title of a Play or Musical? — Page 2

For SticktoPriest: You're going to love my favourite title - its "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad"

The importance of being earnest

and rent- because not only do they have to pay it, but rent means old and torn apart too!

NAKED BOYS SINGING.

CABARET is good because it seems simple and obvious, but by the time Sally Bowles sings "Cabaret" it has a whoel new meaning and makes you realize everything that the club actually stands for.

I also like RENT because it works on a few levels, and ZANNA, DON'T! because...well...it's hilarious!

To Kill a Mockingbird
The Crucible
The Sound of Music

OOh, Cabaret, good one. I didn't know the other meaning of Rent...that's pretty awesome!

I like

Man of La Mancha (it just rolls of the tongue)
Into the Woods (what an appropriate title for the sum of all fairy tales)
City of Angels - I know nothing about the show, but the title is beautiful
Fiddler on the Roof
Damn Yankees - gives me an excuse to curse..heeheehee
I think all Tennessee Williams' play titles are very awesome


nothing to do with theatre, but definately the winner in my book:
Big Fish
many meanings, so powerful.....if you have not seen this movie, you must!!! (imo) I love it so much!

Okay, I'm done with my Big Fish campaign for today...

Did nobody mention Caroline, or Change?
I mean...if you're into the whole punny titles thing.


Anyway, one for Priest:
"The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin"

A RAISIN IN THE SUN

I like Long Day's Journey Into Night.

I also like Assassins- how in the show they explain that it's more than being a murderer- to kill a president makes you an assassin.

Jesus Christ Superstar is kinda cool. Intriguing concept.

Hair is interesting- how the whole culture gets summed up in one word, one symbol.

I like what has been said about Urinetown. Their advertising for it was great, too. I can't remember exactly what the ads said, but something to the effect of "Yoor-in-town -- Just say it."

Ragtime- the opening number makes it work. The way it proves how Ragtime ties it all together.

What do you guys think of Miss Saigon? Could The Last 5 Years have had a better title, or do you think it's simple enough to work?

Musical of Musicals...The Musical

for those lovers of long titles:
ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER
