What's your favorite Musical? (or stage show)
Been really getting into them lately and my latest obsession is Phantom of the opera, that has some great music! I also love Cats, I have 6 cats myself! 'Memory' is a very catchy song (no pun intended: It's memorable!).
I hate Wicked though! Les Mis can be hard going but has some lovely songs Really want to see the woman in black at some point |

Really enjoyed the Lion King.
And have always loved Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. |

I really loved The Phantom of the Opera. Then Andrew Lloyd Webber brought out the sequel, Love Never Dies, which I thought was awful, and kind of put me off the Phantom as well. Not into musicals so much nowadays.

I love musicals and stage shows - my favourites so far have been We Will Rock You for the music, Lion King for the special effects and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for the choreography. Next weekend I am off to see Mamma Mia then Jesus Christ Superstar in March

Jesus Christ Superstar - seen it about a dozen times over the years.
Riverdance was awesome too. |

I've only ever seen one, We Will Rock You. It certainly was memorable for the wrong reasons. They butchered my beloved songs and the story was absolutely mind bogglingly nonsensical.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch. My friends were lucky enough to see John Cameron Mitchell as Hedwig in NYC. So jealous... |

It's weird, I've never been able to get into musicals, though I love opera. Think for some reason I find it easier to buy into a world where people only ever communicate through song than a world where they talk normally but burst into song every now and then.

I don't like opera because you can't hear WHAT they're singing, so what's the point?!?!
