I always refer to the "Big 4" as the four huge British imports from the 80's. So which is your favorite?
a. Cats
b. Les Miserables
c. The Phantom of the Opera
d. Miss Saigon
My sentimental fave is Cats, but I'll say that my true favorite of these 4 is Phantom.

Posted: 7/11/05 at 11:20amColour me odd, but I didn't really care for any of them. They each have one song that I like (Master of the House, The Heat Is On in Saigon, Jellicle Songs, and Angel of Music), but overall they don't do it for me.

Posted: 7/11/05 at 11:41amLes Mis - the others were probably more spectacular, but none moved me as much (or at all, in the case of Cats)

Posted: 7/11/05 at 11:44amWell, I guess it's Les Mis, followed very closely by Miss Saigon and then Phantom. I didn't like Cats.

Les Mis. It touched me more than any other musical, and even though they may have cooler special effects(for ex. Phantom, which is like my 2nd or 3rd fav.) I think once you see LM it stays with you for a while.
*random outburst*
I love this one part of the lyrics from it too. Other people have probably noticed this too, but I love how during "A Heart Full of Love" about halfway through Eponine's lyrics over Marius and Cosette are "he was never mine to lose" and then at the end Valjean is singing over Marius and Cosette and sings "she was never mine to keep".
Sorry! I love how there's little things like that:)

I love Les Miserables.

Posted: 7/11/05 at 11:50amMost definetly Les Miz. Followed by Phantom and Miss Saigon. I have never seen Saigon but I love the music. Cats was... Cats.

Miss Saigon
Les Miserables
The Phantom of the Opera
Cats
Miss Saigon has (IMO) a bit of a stronger score than Les Miz but both are phenomenal shows.

Posted: 7/11/05 at 12:02pmNone--I thought they were all overblown, superficial, bombastic--especially Le Miz...
