Les Miserables 10th
Sound of Music
West Side Story
(I think that if you aren't really a big musical geek, these are probably the ones that will come up the most.)
Personally:
Les Mis 10th
Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman
Into the Woods
Cats
King and I
Music Man with Kristen Chenoworth
and so on...
OKay... um more than 3 personally, but just thought I'd give my input.

Posted: 1/3/05 at 3:12amWhy all the votes for the new MUSIC MAN? The original is SO much better, plus it has the original Broadway choreography and the irreplaceable Robert Preston. And while I agree with most of the choices thus far, how can one live without DAMN YANKEES, LI'L ABNER, PAJAMA GAME and BELLS ARE RINGING for sheer Golden Age history?

I think the only musical I have on DVD is Madonna's Evita.
I doubt Moulin Rouge counts.
