What musicals has everybody seen, and what's your favourite?
I've seen Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat three times, twice with Mr Donovan and once with Pip Schofield
They're opening a new production of it down south at some point, would love to see it again :thumb:
Mamma Mia was great too, need to go and see this again soon. Wasn't to keen on Miss Saigon or Les Mis though.

I can't choose. I just love the mixture of singing and acting, even though it doesn't always go together too well. Having said that, the Rocky Horror Show is probably an experience I can manage without reliving.
Liking the new av btw Bri.
I've seen Blood Brother twice (would recommend it), Fame (not that great to be honest), Miss Saigon (loved it), Les Mis (hated and detested it, so depressing and long and no catchy songs), and my favourite is West Side Story which I've seen twice.
I went to see Guys and Dolls with Nigel Harman just before Christmas, that was fantastic.
I also went to see the UB40 musical, that was quite good. I don't like it when there's no proper story, like Fame doesn't have much of a story.
Later this year I'm going to see the Producers, which I've heard lots of good things about.
Ohh me three - though i swear I was only about 11 when he was in it so you all must have been so young? I also saw with philip Scofield and again with someone else - possibly darren Day?
Other than that I've seen, South Pacific, West Side Story, Saturday night feaver, Greece, the lady in white, Jesus Christ Super Star, Chicargo, Starlight Express, Cats, the rockey horror show, mamma mia and a few more that i can't remember at the moment!
I love musicals so much though and i'm slightly obsessed by Joseph as are all my friends.
Out of them all though Miss Saigon is my favourite, ever ever. I've seen it 4 times now
I have two favourites. The first is Wicked which is based on the stories of the two witches from the wizard of Oz. I saw it a few weeks back and it was so funny and just amazing, especially with Idina Menzel playing Elphaba! The other is Les Mis, i don't know how anyone can say it's dull and boring! It's such a moving story and the music and songs are beautiful, i've seen it twice now and would love to see it again!
I've also seen Joseph (about 3 times, lol), Starlight Express, Phantom of the Opera, Annie, Oliver, The Lion King, Saturday Night Fever, Chicago, Grease, Tommy, Fame, South Pacific, The King and I, Guys and Dolls, The Sound of Music, Cats, My Fair Lady... probably others too but i can't think of any more right now!
I'd choose musicals over plays or concerts any day!
I've also seen Brat Pack - pretty good.
Saturday Night fever - good, but not as good as I thought it would be
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Surprisingly extraordinarily good
Rent - hated it
Phantom of the Opera. On Ice. No comment.
Have to agree with Sophia though - a fun and cheezy night out and missed going to see Avenue Q with some mates this week. Gutted.
I have seen loads though, I bloody love a good musical. Oklahoma!, Guys and Dolls, Blood Brothers and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers are the ones I've seen performed that were especially fab though
I'm in two minds about going to see that, I really want it to be amazing but I'm scared it's just some fool mucking about in a lion costume :impissed:
I genuinely think we might be soulmates.
I have seen that film 5 billion times and know all the words but the "craaaazy old Maurice" part complete with chin-stroking Gaston-style is my fave quoteable
Then seen footloose in manchester which I thought was OK but would have appreciated it more if i watched the film before the musical.
Wanted to see Mammia Mia but never could afford the tickets boo hoo!!
Some people don't some people love them.
Personally I love them and would see many more if i was nearer London, seeing as I am up North I don't tend to see as many but hey.
Whateva floats ya boat eh!
I've seen a lot of musicals but this is my favourite.
Seen Chicago twice, caberet was good.
Want to go see Wicked and and I am going to see Avenue Q for my birthday
