What is the musical that you like but never admit to because of what others might say to you on this board? Mine has to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I love it to bits.

DJ I totally thought you were going to tell us you've been kidding all this time and you're really gay.

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

I love Joseph and I'm not ashamed one bit. Same with Mamma Mia.

I admit it. Back in the day, I LOVED Starlight Express.

Well, wouldn't that be a shocker Christine? LOL

I would have to say Seussical too. Sigh, it's just so... addicting in some way I can't explain.

Joseph is a fabulous show. Don't see why anyone would be ashamed of liking it.

It's not like you like Blood Brothers.

Seussical here too. I'm sorry! I love it and you can't take it away from me!

Is EVITA a show to be ashamed for liking?

It is one of my all-time favorites, and the only ALW show I really love.

No shame here for loving it.

haha DJ I would just stare blankly at the screen.

That's right Joey, you know about me and my adoration for that show all too well.

On that note...I ADORE Blood Brothers but I don't think that's something I've hidden. Actually, it's something I really would put (and have put) in my top 5 musicals. I'm hardly ashamed of it. I think it's fantastic.

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

No, Evita isn't soemthing to be ashamed of. Adding another one, Titanic. It has almost no plot, but it was my first Broadway musical, and I saw it twice and waited in awe at the stage door. At least I liked it before the movie.

I enjoyed Titanic from what I can remember. I don't listen to it often and I haven't seen it since it was on Broadway but I do remember thinking Michael Cerveris was fantastic.


Woohoo DJ, Blood Brothers Solidarity!

"The Proposal" has to be one of the most gorgeous songs ever because you know that he is going to die and never see his love again.

I agree, that is a great song. My favorite from that show is "Andrew's Vision" though, it has always given me the chills ever since I first saw it performed.

I don't think I have ever heard that song, Christine.

No need to come out of the closet, everyone knows I LOVE Seussical!

Don't be ashamed to like or dislike a show! SHARE YOUR OPINION! Playwrights and inquiring minds like to know! This is how groupthink gets started.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
