I'm one of the few who finds them to be four of the worst shows ever written.

I am so with u, redhot...they are all sentimental junk, and in the case of "Miss Saigon," much worse. Using those films was porographic in the truest sense of the term...

And just this morning someone posted "Schindler's List" as a source musical...let's trivialize the Holocaust for profit! Yeah!

Phantom

Les Mis, by far. Saw them all - Les Mis 18 times, Cats about 5 or 6 times, the other two only once each (once was enough).

Miss Saigon, the HISTORY and to know that it REALLY happend is just unreal. Les Mis comes in a VERY close second, as the music is amazing. Then phantom because it is spectacular and Cats because, its ok. lol

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

CATS is my second favorite of these 4 shows. Even though the LES MIS score has some nice songs in it, I didn't like the show at all - too much pathos for me. And MISS SAIGON... ugh... just a lousy copy of the opera MADAME BUTTERFLY, with nothing new to the story, predictible plot and a bad score. Sorry, MS fans.

Les Mis, hands down, no question.
Miss Saigon is a distant second, followed by Phantom, and Cats is little more than kitty litter to me...

[XOsweet_dancerOX]

Posted: 7/11/05 at 2:56pm

Phantom is the only one i actually care for... i'm sorry

[Sant]

Posted: 7/11/05 at 3:36pm

MYB: yes. Because in POTO there is none of the "CRY, GOOD PEOPLE, CRY" factor in every other song. In LES MIS the show seemed to be all about that.

Phantom, Phantom, Phantom, Phantom, lol

no, seriously, Phantom Cats LesMis Saigon (but for me the last 2 are about equal

Posted: 7/11/05 at 4:34pm

Les Miserables is heads above those other four shows with Miss Saigon a distant second, then Cats, and then Phantom.

[Unknown User]

Posted: 7/11/05 at 4:35pm

Miss Saigon

and then probably Phantom, Cats, and Les Mis is last... but they all follow Miss Saigon because it is a great musical... one of my favorites

Miss Saigon
Les Mis




POTP









Cats

Someone asked earlier why so many people love CATS. For me it is because of the dancing. Sure there is hardly any storyline but the music is catchy and it is very visually appealing. It is fun. Ummmm.....yeah, did I mention the dancing?

1. Phantom (There will never be another feeling like when I saw it for the first time when I was 10. Say what you will about ALW or that the show is "overrated." When a work truly and genuinly affects someone and changes their life, don't insult them and their emotions by saying that it's "wrong" and that it shouldn't have that effect because you don't respect the work. Respect your fellow theater-goer's emotions and opinions.)
2. Les Mis
3. Saigon
4. Cats (I personally do not like the show at all. But, I do love singing "Memory." )
