When I was young My favorite Musical was Wicked. It was the first Broadway show I ever saw and I was instantly hooked on theatre after seeing it. Then a few years after that i went through my Rent Head phase. I would watch a bootleg of the show every day online. I even got to see the tour when it came to my city. I matured and grew out of that phase and recognized the greatness that is Les Miserable. Currently Les Mis is my favorite show with Next to Normal being a very close second.

How about you guys?

My favorite musical is The Phantom of the Opera. I love the music and the story. It was the first West End musical i saw and since then I've been to London twice a year for seeing other musicals.

This is the hardest question and I don't think I can pick just one.

Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, Chicago, Gypsy, Anything Goes.

I love how the OP states, "when I was young" as if he's so old now. Let me guess, your 18 now if that much??? I think you mean when you were a child. And your taste in musicals totally dictates your age.

Im 18. But I don't think age dictates taste for me. I have always been fascinated with wicked and rent but i would always watch The into the woods dvd and cabaret and more adult themed shows when i was younger.

I have to disagree that your age dictates your taste in musicals, I'm 17 and I'm not obsessed with Rent, Spring Awakening or any of those "hip" shows. I much rather see MFL or Carousel over Next to Normal or Bare.

Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Assassins, Gypsy, Hair and the list goes on.

For the last few weeks, I have been listening to "Bonnie & Clyde" and the demo recording to "Edges" more than others.

I'm going to shamelessly state that my favourite musical of all times is indeed Priscilla Queen of the Desert!
