If you can pick ONE musical to run until the end of time, what would it be?
My Pick: While I love RENT, but PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is the one for me. That is the first musical I have ever seen/heard and it gave me a head rush. It was so gorgeous and breath-taking. It will forever hold a place in my heart.

I would have to pick HAIRSPRAY. While it is certainly not my favorite show, it was probably the most fun I've ever had in a theater and it would be great if this celebration of a musical could run forever.
You can only watch the same plot play out so many times. But does anyone ever get tired of having fun?

well, since I think that everyone should see a production of Man of La Mancha at least once during their lifetime - it gets my vote.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

I would also have to say "Hairspray". Although the new cast isn't as good, the show is still entertaining as ever. It truly is a celebration of what a feel good musical can do to the soul.It is not my favorite musical, but it still grabs me everytime I see it (which is 9 AND counting!)

Just one? Yikes!! Well I think it would have to be "Man of La Mancha" B
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

i think the question was which show would you like to see run until the end of time... it didn't mention that it had to be currently running...

Cabaret. It's not my all-time favorite, but here's why: even though I only saw it three times, I got something different out of it every time. It's the kind of show that no matter how many times you experience it, you're going to experience something new.
It is all about slices of life, told from the eyes of different characters. While generally sad, at the end it is an uplifting tale. I would prefer a mix of the original London cast and the dream cast ( no problem with Michael Ball - he is in both )
