It would definitely have to be the Music Man. I loved the movie when I was 6 (original one) :)

ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not:

"Hedwig & The Angry Inch."

Now THAT'S what I call a movie musical.

Not on Broadway, but I very much enjoyed the stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London. The movie was one of my favorites as a child, and I liked the way they adapted the story to the stage, making changes that I thought improved the storyline.

Hairspray has been my favorite movie for like 10 years!! Everyone laughed at me, but then it became a musical and suddenly it's the greatest thing. I have yet to see the musical though.

Gonna have to say the film version of "A Funny Thing Happenend on the Way to the Forum". Zero Mostel is a big, fat, sweaty beautiful, mess. Not to mention the cameo by Buster Keaton. The film is just absolutely absurd in its presentation. In no way is it good, but's it a great psychedelic laugh fest...especially when polluted...

Choosing to ignore future comments that may come from Dollypop and a couple of other people who will completely dissagree with me, I love the film version of "Hello, Dolly!"

Also:
Chicago
My Fair Lady
Funny Girl

And again, will ignore any comments towards this one...Mame. Though I would have preferred Angela in the role, I love Lucy! no pun intended. lol
