of course, She Loves Me is up there, too...

Hee hee.... I did one of the directors for She Loves Me. "Ice Cream" gets me all nostalgic.

Well, time to go to confession.

You might think I am going to say PETER PAN, but, for the first time ever, I am going to admit what my true all time favorite musical is. Drum roll, please...

Out of all the musicals I've seen...

...WICKED, PETER PAN, SEUSSICAL, ANNIE, BYE BYE BIRDIE, HELLO DOLLY, GUYS AND DOLLS, INTO THE WOODS, LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, AIDA, CHICAGO, SMOKEY JOES CAFE, STOMP, LES MISERABLES, CATS, MAMMA MIA, URINETOWN, THOROUGHLY MORDERN MILLIE, HAIRSPRAY, 42nd STREET, THE PRODUCERS, GYPSY, RAGTIME, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, GREASE, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, A CHORUS LINE, CINDERELLA, WEST SIDE STORY, SOUND OF MUSIC, OLIVER, MY FAIR LADY, THE MUSIC MAN, NEWSIES, MAME...

...My all-time favorite is...

...Yes, I just actually listed every single musical I'd ever seen in my life, on film and live...

...My favorite is...

URINETOWN: The Musical! I never laughed so hard in my life. I thought THE PRODUCERS was pretty damn funny, but URINETOWN was HILARIOUS!

PETER PAN may have a very special place in my heart, but URINETOWN is now, admittingly, my favorite musical. WICKED tied with PRODUCERS is second, PETER PAN is third.

So now you know.

Cap'n Hook - are you a performer? have you ever done Peter Pan? The character you named yourself after is one of my dream roles. I love that show so much, that I am putting Distant Melody into my cabaret act. What a beautiful piece of music - and such an uplifting (pardon the pun) show...You've got good taste!

West Side Story. Only one other person mentioned it--surprises me.

redhot - check your PM inbox.

Did you know that Distant Melody was not the original song to be in the production? They wrote up the song to replace the original, "When I Went Home" because the song was too sad. Can you imagine? TOO sad? If it is more sad than Distant Melody, then it is one depressing song! I have heard the melody, however I have never heard it with the lyrics.

No question...the greatest musical ever written and my favorite is Sweeney Todd.

Les Miserables, hands down. The story.. Love, anguish, fear, war. The twist. How Young Eponine gets all she wants when she is younger and then is thrown on the street, and vice versa for Cosette. The music.. HELLO! On My Own, Castle on a Cloud, Do you hear the people sing.. I just love it. Everything about it.

"Les Miserables", "Les Miserables" and "Les Miserables". Oh, sorry, could only choose one? OK, it's......"Les Miserables"! Hehehe.

Adios,

I grew up on Rent so I think that would have to be my fav! I think that my first time seeing it I was like five and I still love it!

I would have to go with Aida all the way!!!!

Second would be Seussical becasue I loved the show, going in thinking I would not. THird would be Taboo becasue the music was EXTREMELY MOVING!!

I LOVED the show and wished I could have seen it before it closed.

This. Is. So. Hard.
But my loyalty will always lie with The Last Five Years. It brought me back from the living dead of actor land. I was almost completely discouraged about being an actor, and L5Y saved me from what I honestly believe would have been a life-ruining decision.

Posted: 8/16/05 at 2:34pm

Ahhhhhh. SO hard. But I'll go with Les Miz.

I cant believe that way way back many centuries ago when this was first posted I wrote down Thoroughly Modern Millie as my favorite musical. While it is one of my favorites, it is not THE favorite. I would have to say that I have grown over the past year with musical theatre and have become more exposed and I am going to have to go with Caroline, or Change as my favorite.
It was the best show I ever saw on Broadway and the score is incredible.

Into the Woods. Tough to pick just one, but ItW is just wonderful.

CHICAGO, the revival. It is simply brilliant.

Rent. Nuff said.

Can we please have this info presented in a chart form? With icons and all.

I would have to say Phantom of the Opera
It is what inspired me to become a singer and performer(I used to be a clarinet player in band believe or not!)

Bah....Gah....Urgh... This causing me so much inner turmoil. Feels like a betrayal to all the other musicals in my life and my slight Sondheim obsession.....but I guess I just have to go with "RENT".
