RENT is my all time favourite, because it was my first obsession. Sweeney Todd is a very very close second.

Posted: 12/23/04 at 4:06pmThe Lion King was simply phenomenal, as was Miss Saigon. And RENT was really quite good. I was rather dissapointed with Cats, though. Updated On: 12/23/04 at 04:06 PM

Oklahoma
West Side Story
RENT
POTO

Posted: 12/23/04 at 4:09pmYou just can't help but worry for someone whose favorite show is a collection of ABBA songs.
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.

Posted: 12/23/04 at 4:10pmI used to have the BIGGEST obsession with ABBA...of course this was before I discovered the wonderful Broadway obsession that will never ever leave me

Not in any order:
Jekyll and Hyde(my friend and mentor's first big show)
Scarlet Pimpernel(look left)
Joseph...Dreamcoat(the first show I memorized for no reason)
Les Miz(my first EPIC musical)
Assassins(the first show that really made me think)

Priest, you read my mind.
I don't have ONE favorite show, but there are a few shows that I consider nearly perfect in every single aspect. They are:
Gypsy
The Sound of Music
Rent
Sunday in the Park with George
Into the Woods
Nine
West Side Story
Shows I think are perfectly written, but don't love:
South Pacific
Carousel
The Music Man
Sweeney Todd
Pacific Overtures
Shows I absolutely LOVE that are poorly written:
Taboo
The Life
Steel Pier
Shenendoah

Annie (yes, the songs get stuck in your head, but it's a classic: NYC setting, early 1900's, what more do you want? well, there are a few things, but it's an awesome one nonetheless)
and
Les Miserables is stunning.

Posted: 12/23/04 at 7:08pmOh I completely forgot ANNIE! People dismiss it so quickly because it's now cliche, but it's cliche now for a reason - it's an amazing show!
