Well, the role of Rani in Bombay Dreams is hilarious, she is over the top bitchy and has a few funny lines that worked very well for the audience every time i've seen it.

I remember my brother and I laughing so hard at FALSETTOS that we had tears falling down our cheeks during the first act of that show.

I give second and third places to SPELLING BEE and CITY OF ANGELS.

Definitely THE PRODUCERS. It is side-splittingly funny. I've seen it a couple of times, plus the film a few times, and I just keep laughing and laughing.

While Dirty Rotten Scoundrels may not be the funniest musical I've ever seen (though it's up there), it stands on its own as the one show I can go back to over and over and each time I laugh just as much as I did the first time I saw it.

Other funny ones are Avenue Q, Spelling Bee, Forbidden Broadway: SVU, Producers, Musical of Musicals: The Musical, and The Audience.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks My Fair Lady is funny? The Julie Andrews Cockney gets me every time.

Definitely Spamalot and DRS, Hairspray was hilarious too.

Nunsense.

I was laughing so hard I was crying. That would have been a better straight play, really. The music isn't memorable at all, but it's so funny!!!

My favorite:
1. Forbidden Broadway- Because it makes fun of all I love and adore. And Michael West is back. I have to see the new version.
2. Avenue Q
3. Hairspray
4. Spamalot

5. The Producers
6. Spelling Bee (And now that Foa is joining the cast, I might be changing lotteries) HEH. Updated On: 7/2/06 at 10:43 AM

The Great American Trailor Park Musical

Lesser known? Last year, my school performed a production of "Sugar" (edited of course) during February. I can't figure out why this musical version of "Some Like it Hot", starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon, wasn't a hit on Broadway. I played cross-dressing Jerry/Daphne. And nothing flooded my heart with bliss like the rollicking cascading waterfalls of uproarious laughter rushing from the aisles. I honestly don't think, at this point, that a funnier show is available in a school setting.

Without question, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, with distant compatition from The Producers, How to Succued in Business Without Really Trying, Spamalot, and a good production of Guys & Dolls.

As for lesser known shows, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is quite funny, and very fun to do AND watch.

EDIT: And A Chorus Line can be pretty funny, too.

Oh, yeah, rufussars, I forgot about Sugar.

For those of you who don't know. Sugar is the musical version of Some Like it Hot. It's hilarious!!!
