not really on screen, necessarily, but what's your favorite shows?
i've been a costume designer for a few years now and I was lucky enough to design some outfits for some pretty awesome shows.
Anyways, here's my list of favorites:

Sweeney Todd (even BEFORE the movie )
Side Show (about siamese twins in a freak show)
Urinetown (the musical that tops all other musicals by wit)
RENT
Dreamgirls (guilty...)
Les Miserables

I love RENT
I saw the new London version that everybody hates, it was actually pretty good.

Umm, one time my mom roped me into seeing Les Miserables at the Panteges with her...and it wasn't bad.

besides fucking dudes it's probably the gayest thing i've ever done.

Cabaret! It's all about Cabaret

Wicked is fucking good as well.

I'm not into musicals really, but if I had to do a top 5:

1) Singing in the Rain
2) The Sound Of Music
3) Hairspray
4) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (I couldn't watch it again now, but I still kind of like it)
5) .... No can't think of another one.

Singing in The Rain was on TV yesterday, I forgot how much I love that film.

lol-worthy

is Once a musical? that one was so great
it's like a non gay musical. lol

i wanna see that umbrellas musical with catherine deneuve. it looks lovely.

Did anyone else like chicago, or was that overrated?

i liked it
the cellblock tango kicked ass

I'm trying to somehow trick the drama teacher into choosing Starlight Express for the school musical this year. I hope I succeed. Would be a laugh riot.

Musicals are killing theatre in my opinion so I fucking hate them, like with a passion, but some film musicals are good like Rocky Horror I do enjoy that.

I saw Cats (I had to, drama trip) and I can definitely appreciate the skill involved but my GOD someone shoot me.

I'm jealous! I missed it when the OBC came to London but a few of my friends saw it on a drama trip and said it was amazing.

yeah i seriously can't wait!! haha i hope they cast good people though, there haven't been any announcements yet or anything ...

les miserables. fucking LOVE it. makes me cry though.

i've only seen the film version of chicago but i suspect i'd love the theatre version.

oh, and i saw cats when i was little and loved that too

I love musicals, although I’m very specific, and odd, about what I like about them. Love songs bore me, mostly. Way back in junior high school the music teacher screened West Side Story and explained about how Maria & Tony basically have to stand there, look pretty and hit the correct, relatively uncomplicated notes (and the movie Maria didn’t even have to do that), but Anita and Bernardo have to be extremely talented. I’m usually all about the secondary characters and the b-plots for that reason – standing around looking pretty bores me, as do love songs for the most part.

Some favorites are:

• Little Shop of Horrors – I saw it off-Broadway as a teenager
• Oliver – I’ve never actually seen this performed or on screen in full, and I’m basically only familiar with several songs, but I’m very fond of those few songs
• The Sound of Music – after downloading the soundtrack on a whim, I find myself going to it more than I expected. It also boasts my favorite musical love song (other than The Song That Goes Like This’ from Spamalot, if that counts), ‘Nothing comes from nothing/Nothing ever could/So somewhere in my youth or childhood/I must have done something good’
• The Pirates of Penzance, although that I guess isn’t technically a musical, it’s ‘Light Opera’ or some such, or maybe you can just call it Gilbert & Sullivan at this point. I would probably like more of their work if I got around to familiarizing myself more with the shows I didn’t see on Broadway at an impressionable age starring guys I thought were hot.

I actually do love this. But it's not really 'look at your audience and SMILE, burst into song and dance because there is a rainbow in the sky!" kind of musical.

Although I was impressed to find out my drama teacher was the understudy and another character in Les Miserable in London (the big one) and took the lead for a while. Still would never ever watch it.

West side story. Love it.
