Wanted to get some opinions on what some of the funniest musicals ever are?

Any thoughts, and don't limit it to the obvious (Producers, Spamalot, Urinetown, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
CHICAGO (on an adult, black comedy level)

Few things actually make me laugh while at the theatre, even the classics like FUNNY THING.. and ON THE 20TH CENTURY.

But the one show I remember ACTUALLY laughing with while watching was THE FULL MONTY. It really has an exceptionally funny McNally book.

The first time I saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels I was laughing so much I got light headed. For me, that show takes the cake.

THE PRODUCERS is still the funniest musical I have ever seen.

I too got light headed from laughing, Dirty Rotten Guy. I was crying so hard!

I think DRS, Drowsy Chaperone, Spamalot, Urintown, Ave Q and many many more.

The most I've ever laughed at a show was Spelling Bee. It was the best hour and a half of my life. It put me in such a great mood. It was so much fun!

Avenue Q
DRS
Mamma Mia!


I thought Hairspray was also really hilarious. I love it when Link is singing "It Takes Two" and theres that crazy girl hugging his leg LOL. Also the dodgeball part was really funny too! "Hear comes special ed. Snicker,snicker, sneer sneer." Really funny! Updated On: 7/1/06 at 06:49 PM

"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" is really funny, too!

All kidding aside, I'd have to say Spamalot or Avenue Q of late, but if I thought about it harder I might think of some older shows that were particularly funny.

I think HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING has the potential to get a laugh, on almost every line. Unfortunately, the revial, blew it, in that regard.

City of Angels is the funniest musical I've ever seen, but I'll give an honorable mention to Avenue Q.

I don't think I have ever laughed harder at anything than I did at The Drowsy Chaperone.
