I love the phantom of the opera.


However The soundtrack is quite repetitive.


Le's Miserables has the best soundtrack i have ever heard on any musical.

FRANK LOESSER'S "The Most Happy Fella", a rich melodic score with enough great songs to populate 10 typical musical plays.

Phantom6, just a heads-up, I think you mean 'score' rather than 'soundtrack.' I know what you mean, but a lot of members get a bit snippy about words being used incorrectly.

My favorite musical is Spamalot, but my favorite score is Les Miserables.

In My Life...a heartwarming tale of Tourette's, confusing plot points, and Christopher J. Hanke's upsetting career choices!

Oh my! This is such a difficult question. By when do you need an answer?

Les Miserables has a soundtrack? I didn't know a film version existed of the hit stage musical. Well, I'll be...

snark, snark, snark...

to answer your question, Phantom6, at the moment my favorite is Light in the Piazza. I love the score, I love the story & I loooove Victoria Clark. I'm also a big Wedding Singer fan.

and I agree with Schmerg. watch your terminology - BWW posters can be pretty snippy.

West Side Story is my all time favorite.

Jekyll and Hyde I think is very awesome in a dark romantic way.

People are taking this seriously? I smell a dirty sock.

Honestly, I like to learn what other posters' favorite shows are.

[Elphaba3]

The Light in the Piazza.

[PiraguaGuy2]

Sweeney Todd.

Well, for you Schmerg, my favorite musical would be too tough to pick just one, but I think my favorite musical theatre score of all time is Kiss Me, Kate.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 1/31/09 at 10:36pm

Miss Saigon. I know it's not the best musical, but it is and ever shall be my favorite.

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Posted: 1/31/09 at 10:37pm

Aww, well, thank you!

I like Kiss Me Kate, but the song "Too Darn Hot" has been ruined for me for a few reasons that I'm sure most posters here will understand.

[PiraguaGuy2]

It's the same reason I can't listen to "The Boy Friend" anymore. "Won't You Charleston with Me?" makes me want to vomit.

[Madcap Maisie]

Posted: 1/31/09 at 10:40pm

yeah...I was always a fan of the Charleston until...well.

"Gypsy" and "Sunday in the Park With George"

although I have been listening to a lot of "Into the Woods" and "Nine" lately.
