Such an unfair question.

Favorite: Moulin Rouge

Honorable Mention: Chicago

Runner-Up: Funny Girl

Must Include: The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz

Alright I admit - I can't decide.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

LOVE THAT!!! They did it better than I ever would have thought it would be. I would have to say Rent. I just didn't like the fact that they cut a lot of the songs and Mark and Rodger's fight.

And.....SCENE!

West Side Story with a very soft place in my heart for The Band Wagon.

Cabaret is my absolute favorite movie musical. It can't get much better than Joel Grey. Oh wait, it can- Joel Grey AND Liza.

I love Little Shop of Horrors! I used to watch that movie on repeat when I was a little kid. Moulin Rouge & Chicago are great as well.
