munkustrap, I never saw Nine. 
I was going to go closing day when it was January 4th... had a whole plan to go to the matinee of Nine and then to the final performance of Cabaret, but then they pushed it back and I had no time to go.
Taboo is up there, don't worry. I think it's number five.
I have a really strange obsession with Oklahoma! I know it's corny, but I love it more than I should.
A work of art is an invitation to love.

I thought OK's revival was AMAZING and should have won the tony hands down. I wonder why you love it so much...maybe a certain actor...?

Partially. I just remember being floored by how beautiful the production was. And, it was the first "classic" type of musical I had seen at an old enough age to really appreciate it for what it was. I hadn't seen a show like that since I was about 11.

My favorite show that I've seen thus far is Little Women. I've never had so much fun at a show.
In Order of Preference: (Shows I've Seen)
1. Little Women
2. Gypsy
3. Wicked
4. Wonderful Town
5. Mamma Mia!
6. Cabaret
7. Brooklyn
Yes, I did enjoy Mamma Mia! more than Cabaret. But only because I saw an understudy go on as Sally, and although she was very good, it just ruined it for me. It was my first Broadway show and to see Molly Ringwald's understudy really turned me off from the whole show. Sad, but true.

The original London production of "My Fair Lady". It's my second favorite that's too tough to call. Perhaps "Seesaw".

It's just incredible how most people can't just pick one show.

My favorite show ever is Les Miserables (it is, after all, my first love). Its followed very closely by Rent, which is followed (not at all closely) by a million other shows. :P
But now we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then, when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me.

I know it has a lot of flaws, but my favorite show is Pippin. Followed closely by in my oppinion the two most perfect shows ever written: West Side Story and A Chorus Line.

I haven't seen many shows either, but of the ones I have seen, it was the Producers (I saw the tour). Absolutely wonderful.

I love how people can love revivals but no originals-- i just think is so amazing that a group of people can be given the exact same material to work with and they can both be so wonderful but so beautifully different that someone can love one, but not so much the other!! i love the '98 cabaret, but hate the others before it!! and i know there are TONS of things that factor into the differences, but it still baffles me!
