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.

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

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.
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.
Keep the peace, take care of each other, and may you find your promised land.

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.
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.
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."
