THHHHEEEE BOOOOKKKK OOOFFF MMMMMOOOORRRRRRRRMMMMMEEEENNNNNN
Light in the Piazza
Legally Blonde (yes, it translated well to the stage)
Oliver! When playing charades one time, my daughter was trying to get my husband to guess. All he could come up with was O Liver. It still makes me laugh. I remember going up to London as a child to see the film and loving it. I had a crush on Mark Lester. It was a big outing in those days.
Les Miserables and Hamilton tied for #1
Since I was just performing in it I would have to say A Chorus Line.
Too many great musicals. The best, believe it or not, came out of the late 1940s and early 1950s. The structure of the cool musicals today, are based on that structure, believe it or not. Among the new musicals, Hamilton obviously, but also Kinky Boots, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Wicked and this coming year's winner of the Best Musical Tony, Dear Evan Hansen. Saw the world premiere in DC in 2015. The play goes to Broadway in November. And, Hamilton is $849 per ticket. Dear Even Hansen, or a Saturday night, will be $200.
First show I saw was "A Chorus Line", so that will always be a top pick. "Phantom of the Opera" is also a favourite.
I was just in Paint Your Wagon. That is probably my favorite. I was a paint brush.
in no particular order....Wicked, The Lion King, Les Miserables are the ones I can go back to and see over and over, and have
I should add The Lion King to my previous list.
Both Stage (although not seen, but have the dvd where they filmed it one night and released) and Film version of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
I have several of them but my favorite all time old one is Auntie mame, with Rosalind russel
Chicago although Hamilton is a very close second
