The Sound of Music. I also like Evita and Rent very much... mind you, I am not gay :)

Im really fond of Caberet. I could also say Sound of Music and Fiddler On The Roof. Not very decisive am I?

AIDA! Haha. No, I don't know. I like Mama Mia.

Oh I love all musicals Les Mis, Phantom , My Fair Lady, is great The New Sound of Music, is really Good, one of my very favourites is Miss Saigon Chicago Chorus Line Me and My Girl Buddy Mamma Mia Oh I just love them ALL. At the moment they are casting for the new Joseph

Rent

Evita

Mmmmmmm...aaaaaah... C'mon spit it out... THE DROWSY CHAPERONE! Please don't laugh.

Wicked!

I second all that answer wicked!!

If we want stage musicals only here, then my choice is the 60s cult classic, Hair! If they can also be screen musicals, then I must give my nod to the fabulous Moulin Rouge.

Les Miserables.

The rocky horror picture show... :-) For me it would be Phantom of the opera.....

I have seen and enjoyed many musicals in my life, many in cinema, not enough on stage. I even performed in High School musicals, plays, and community theater when I was younger. (I'm 51) Have always been a fan of musicals and film, haven't seen a Rogers and Hammerstein movue I didn't like. The 50's were the real golden years for musicals, and MGM seemed to make all of them. My god, think of aall those great Gene Kelly movies... think of the pure skill, innovative dancing, great songs that have not aged. Saying that, I have to also admit that I grew up in the 60's. I am a product of that era. The Beatles have and will always be number one. Pink Floyd, second, then Yes, and so many others, but I digress. I just wanted to show that I wasn't a square by any means... hell, I'll even admit that I enjoyed Mario Lanza. In the same breath, I did not like Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald - chalk screeching on a blackboard was better music to my ears. West Side Story has, and always will be, my favorite all time movie. My grandmother took me to see it down at the (now gone) Boyd Theater, down in Center City (Phila), when it was first released. I was 6 years old. The impact was immediate - and that awe has stayed with me ever since. I just can't describe the pure perfection of the dancing - it was just the most incredible dancing ever created and performed on film and stage. It was Jerome Robin's masterpiece, even among all his other work. At the same time, can you think of any musical composistion that was just so incredible in a musical? The pure complexity of the score, created by Leonard Bernstein, probably the greatest American Composer of the 20th Century - some would say that's a stretch, and champion Aaron Copeland, or the Gershwins, it's a tough argument. This was the kind of music that actually could create, by itself, the location, story, and dancing in your mind that your eyes actually saw. Have you ever looked at the score or triried to play any of the music? Singing it may have been easy, but playing it - wqow, the skill of the orchestra, the individual musicians, just incredible talent. Berstein and Robbins peaked at the same time. It really was a significant milestone in the history of the performing arts. The film won 10 (or 11) Oscars thsat year. Unprecedented, especially for a musical!! I just saw it the otehr day on tv, (for like the billionth time), and it has not aged. And neither have the other great musicals taht I mentioned earlir, and I can't dismiss the Sound of Music. A few good musicals have been released since then, like what some other people have menbtioned here, but nowhere near the perfection or impact of West side Srory.

Porgy and Bess. gershwin. It's sublime.

I like "Fiddler on the Roof" too, but "Porgy and Bess" is exquisite.

Also there was a Frank Loesser musical called "Greenwillow" that had gorgeous, gorgeous tunes but perished after only two weeks because of some strike or other. I tried to find sheet music for it the other evening. It's nowhere. If anybody has sheet music for "Greenwillow," please hunt me up. There's a song called "Faraway Boy," and one called "Never Never Will I Marry," and a funny song by a clergyman containing the lyrics What a blessing to know there's a devil And that I'm but a pawn in his game And though easily led I can hold up my head Knowing I'm not exactly To blame. What relief Waht a blessed relief That a thief is by nature No thief And a liar is only An innocent buyer Of lies From the liar In chief. So of course The remorse May be brief.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Sweeney Todd.

Oklahoma: Roger and Hammerstein's best

Les Miserables, of course. Runner ups are Phantom and Sweeney Todd, though. I lvoe them as well - plus Little Shop and Producers.

I would say Moulin Rouge but it really isn't a musical. The Phantom of the Opera (I know this musical word for word.) Chicago (I also know this whole movie) Across the Universe. this became an obsession for me when it came out I've seen it about 15 times and I love it. West Side Story is also amazing. Fiddler on the Roof I love love love. ah there are so many!

My favorite is "Wicked." Followed closely by "Rent," "Cats," and "Phantom of the Opera."

Sondheim's Assassins, or actually anything Sondheim his music is amazing.

Jerry Springer Show musical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Evita or Gypsy, without a doubt.

Oklahoma.

The Wizard of Oz.

My favorite is Jesus Christ Superstar.

Being a fan of musicals, I will give honorable mentions to 1776 and The Music Man, but the best has to be Singing in the Rain.

I like Hello Dolly too. I love musicals. Showboat is a great one for me, oh I don't know what is my favorite. I love musicals.. Even Man From La Mancha, I loved it... I find the older ones are better though. I almost forgot my all time favotite is Les Miserable, oh that song "Bring Him Home" by Colm Wilkinson is just so beautiful, it drives grown men to tears.

My favorites are Mamma Mia and Phantom of the Opera. :)

Nothing tops "My Fair Lady" . . .

Beethoven's Symphony and singing in the rain.

Chicago. West Side Story. Metropolis (the original--that was set to music by Adam Ant).

I loved the Sound of Music. Movie version.

I love seven brides for seven bothers

So many - far too many to mention but: Miss Saigon Phantom of the Opera Les Miserables Yentl Aspects of Love Sunset Boulevard Moulin Rouge and The King and I must all go on the list ;0)

The High School Musical LOLLLL i keed :)

WOW... Too many to list. The classics. Like Roger and Hart/Hammerstein. Irving Berlin. Gershwin. Cole Porter. Then new stuff. Sondeim (kinda new...) Jason Robert Brown. Stephen Schwartz. YEA. All of them? I mean even if I don't like the musical I at less like ONE of the songs from it. :D

'

monty python and the holy grail

Rocky Horror Picture Show, duh.

GREASE BABY!!!

Oliver - 1968 version

Moulin Rouge! It's just, uh, AMAZING!

I'd have to say Beauty and The Beast, Rent, Grease, or Les Mis. They're all mesmerizing.

The Phantom of the Opera. It's really the only musical I enjoy.

The King and I!!!! People don't appreciate that film as much as they should. Oh, and The Lion King (do Disney films count?)

Phantom of the Opera.

I'm a very big musical fan and I love old school musicals. Singing in the Rain *in love with Gene Kelly* On the Town King and I Greece Rocky Horror Picture Show Our House West side story Guys and Dolls

I particularly enjoy Les Miserables

Wicked and RENT - They are on a par! People always scoff when I say Wicked in particular because it gets unfair criticism because it's successful, but it's lifechanging!!! Les Mis probably comes third, and Spring Awakening is up there just behind the others - really good. Of the obscure musicals I have the CD's for... The Wild Party - Andrew Lippa See What I Wanna See - Michael John LaChiusa Tick, Tick...BOOM! - Jonathan Larson Oh and I quite like into the Woods soundtrack!

Wicked , Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music. Sorry, couldn't pick just one.

I'm in between Rent and Wicked

Besides the obvious ones (Rent, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera) Evita, Guys and Dolls, Little Shop of Horrors, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, Once Upon A Mattress, Into the Woods, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Newsies

Little Shop Of Horrors Hello, Dolly! Grease Rocky Horror Picture Show The Sound Of Music There are many more which I enjoy, I just can't remember them at the moment.

Wicked!!!! All of the music is pure genius! :)

WICKED IS THE BEST MUSICAL EVER NEXT TO HAIRSPRAY AND SWEENY TODD!!!!!

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Les Miserables --- hands down!

So many of them. Spamalot Spring Awakening Rent Fosse Contact Hairspray (Broadway version only)
