    I love musicals! I go to every musical that tours here. I have seen Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Carousel, and Little Shop of Horrors just to name a few, and I have seen Hairspray twice, one in New York and once in my hometown. My entire family has tickets to see Wicked in April, and I can't wait!

    I am old. I go back to the Lerner-Loewe and Rodgers-Hammerstein stuff. My favourites are My Fair Lady and West Side Story. The newer big budget and particularly Lloyd Webber musicals are not my cup of tea. However I am currently reading Les Miserables, which makes me think I should check out the musical version. I always resisited it as much as I could because I hadn't read the book.

    The ones I have seen are My Fair Lady twice (including once in London)
    Cats (a long time ago)
    A Chorus Line ( a VERY long time ago)
    Into The Woods
    The Boy From Oz
    Mamma Mia
    Carmen Jones (London)
    Ain't Misbehavin' (New York, with Patti Austin)

    When I was younger, I watched musicals all the time. I loved Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Robin Hood, and all those Disney musicals.

    I also loved Gene Kelly and all of his musicals - especially Singing in the Rain.

    But my favorite of all is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Such a fun musical!

    (ETA: I initially typed Seven BRIDGES for Seven Brothers. lol!)

    I could have written Soda's post. (Note: I READ Seven Bridges, even though I know and love the movie. I definitely spend way too much time here!)

    I worked front of house at the Queen musical, We Will Rock you, while I was at uni in London, so I had my fill of the big, West End musical thing. It drove me a little crazy after a while, hearing the same thing night after night, but it was also a lot of fun and I met lots of great people.

    I saw Guys & Dolls in London, which was pretty good. I do love Phantom, and I'll always have a soft spot for The Sound Of Music. I watched it religiously as a child.

    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    I forgot to mention - when I was visiting London in 2006, I saw Evita in the West End. Magnificent!

    Too funny because I actually read it as "seven BRIDGES..." when I first read it.

    Yesterday I watched a show, Best of Musicals, I got the tickets from my sister for Christmas, It were shown excerpts from various musicals, as for example,Tarzan, WEST SIDE STORY, Chicago, Buddy the Buddy Holly musical, The Lion King, WICKED, Sunset Boulevard, We Will Rock You and a lot of other.I knew some musicals already, however, e.g., Sunset Boulevard was new for me. It was really good! We also had very good seats, 2 row exactly in the middle of the stage! These seats I would have at the Eagles concert.
