Sunset Blvd.
I may be in the minority here, though.

Erm...
I really like Aspects of Love and Song and Dance
My favorite right now is JCS
But I have an allegiance to Phantom since it is the show that really drew me into theater when I was 7 years old.

how can you say Cats is one of the worst musicals ever? It's really endearing with some delightful little tunes. It's better than bloody Rent, which everyone seems to love for some unfathomable reason.
But hey - opinions are opinions, eh?

EVITA.
Hated CATS, STARLIGHT EXPRESS, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA & SUNSET BLVD.
Don't really care for SUPERSTAR or JOSEPH or SONG AND DANCE or ASPECTS OF LOVE or BY JEEVES.
Never seen WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND or BEAUTIFUL GAME or WOMAN IN WHITE.
I find Andrew Lloyd Webber the most OVERRATED composer of the 20th Century.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I'm sorry but singing and dancing cats with no story = worst idea ever.
I do have to admit that I enjoy most of the songs but there is nothing else there....

Posted: 9/5/05 at 7:11pmAgreed that ALW is vastly overrated, and that Cats lacks a storyline. To be honest i've never seen the production live - Cats left town before i was "into musicals," so i'm really listening to it as an album, rather than a production. The best ALW production i've seen is Phantom with the amazing lighting.

I think "Evita" and "Joseph" were amazing..."Sunset Blvd." was kinda boring when i saw it...but the music is great. I think "Phantom" is his worst show...! and "Cats" sucked as well, althought they were the longest running musicals ever. Hi best production was "Bombay dreams" (eventhough he didn't write the music or the songs).

ASPECTS OF LOVE is my favorite ALW score, but ohhhhh that horrid, horrid book!

hahahaha - i could trash rent until the cows came home. As for Wicked - i've neglected to listen to it yet as the things i have heard were, well, a little bit annoying.
I can be found in the 'Kitch' section at your local WalMart, by the way
