My favourite musical would have to be Follies, but my most beloved is Gypsy.
I haven't had the kind of life changing experience with Follies as I did with Gypsy. The Encores! production of that truly defined what theatre is to me and why I have to be involved in this world.

This is like asking someone to pick their favorite child. I've got so many favorites......for so many different reasons. And, I'm sure everyone feels that way.

Follies
Like Ray it is my most Beloved musical, but unlike Ray I think it is also the most brilliant/fascinating one too. "Best" is a different story.

Of All Time: Beauty & the Beast-It's not a perfect show, but it still holds a terribly special place in my heart.
Classic: 1776 & Gypsy-They're both musicals which not only struck other special places in my heart, but made me want to see it every single day of my week long vacation.
Only from a Cast Album: Titanic-Such a wonderful score
One I may Never See: Merlin-Such an interesting idea, reminding me of the musicals I used to write as a little kid, plus it just fascinates me.
One I've been in: Seussical-On Broadway, it was a great flop, but performed by anyone else, it's just pure magic.
