First and foremost is Les Miserables. It was my first touching musical (I had never seen a sad musical before), and it was beautiful, and I loved it.
Second is Rent. I loved it when I only had the CD, but it touched me 10 times more than I thought it would live.
And then there's the list of other ones that I loved but that come second for me:
-West Side Story (on stage)
-Into the Woods
-Okay, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I was touched when I saw Beauty and the Beast *blushes*
-Miss Saigon (I haven't seen it, but the music is very touching)
-Avenue Q- also haven't seen it, but love the recording, and I find There's a Fine, Fine Line to be touching
I have never seen Wicked. I will see it in May. (Okay, isn't there a line at the end where they're all like, "We can never go to back to Oz, can we?"? That'll probably make me cry.) :P
"I mean, how many of us could honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building?"
