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.

Why 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. Updated On: 1/3/05 at 03:15 AM

Am I the only fan of All That Jazz?

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Into the Woods
West Side Story

Though Singin' in the Rain is the best movie musical ever. Gene Kelly is it!

3) An American in Paris

(if you count Disney musicals... Mary Poppins would take slot #3)
