chasin' the wind

I saw the movie.

But I was kinda shocked when I found out that Angela Lansbury was in the play.

Lain

According to Wikipedia, she was only there from 1979-80

To me, it just doesn't sound like a show she would do.

I absolutely adore musicals. My goal in life is to get to New York and watch a TON of shows. Hopefully I can get there by May this year and watch Rent before it closes and Spring Awakening before Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele leave the show.

Speaking of Spring Awakening, I am obsessed with it (points to avatar and sig). It's amazing.

I saw Wicked in LA at the Pantages last year and thought it was the best show I've ever seen! I also saw Spelling Bee on Broadway back in October. It was a really cute show. I LOVE musicals, too, and I've performed in a few thru community theatre. I'd LOVE to see Spring Awakening on Broadway, but I don't think that's gonna happen!

I absolutely adore Musicals.

My favorites are RENT (I'm so sad it's closing), Aida, Wicked, Avenue Q, Phantom of the Opera and West Side Story. I really need to start listening to more though.

I have probably mentioned that before, but I love West Side Story too
Also the movie... the dancing scenes were so amazing!

Ooh yay! I've been hoping that I would stumble across a musicals thread somewhere on here

I'm from London, thus see most of my shows in the West End. Though I've seen quite a few Broadway musicals via, *cough*DVD*cough*.

I'm a big fan of:

Wicked (I've seen it 42 times in London :s)
Hairspray
RENT
Spring Awakening
Legally Blonde
Bright Lights, Big City
Little Shop of Horrors

and MANY more

She was excellent. I think everyone just thinks of Murder She Wrote when they think of her, but she was a much more diverse performer. You should really try to get a copy of the video of the Original Broadway Cast. I refused to see the movie because there's no way it could compare to the original and I didn't want it to ruin Sweeney for me.

I love Wicked & Hairspray (the movie as well as the stage show)!

Hi! My name is Amber and I'm new here! Recently I visited London on a school trip and got to see both Les Miserables and Wicked. I really liked them both...however, I'm in LOVE with Wicked now! I think Kerry Ellis, who is currently playing Elphaba, is absolutely amazing!! (and I got a picture with her which makes things even more awesome!) I've become such a huge fan of hers! I want to go back to London SO bad just to see Wicked again!

I absolutely LOVE musicals I'm a huge theatre geek.
sadly I don't live in NYC, so I only get to see the shows on tour

My Favorite Musical is Wicked: seen it 3 times, once in Orange County and Twice at the Pantages. absolutely LOVE it. and I love Eden and Megan.

then the rest of my faves:

Les Miserables. I completely adore that show, so much. I am totally team Eponine though, I can't stand Cosette it's just such a beautiful show. I cried when I saw it. it was just so moving. and the 10th anniversary dream cast recording is the best.

POTO. I Love Phantom. it's a wonderful show. I hate Raoul. dumb fop. I'm stoked I might go see it again soon.

and I LOVE many many others

but what I really really want to see is Spring Awakening, I must get myself to New York to see it. especially before all the OBC is gone, and before Lea and Jon Groff leave in May.

I could go on an on about musicals but I will stop.

Hairspray is definatly my favourite musical closely followed by rent and guys and dolls

az2008

I've seen Phantom of the Opera and City of Angels. Both were amazing!

My school does a musical every year. We've done My Fair Lady, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Oliver, and Brigadoon.

I would love to see RENT, but unfortunately that'll never happen. In June I get to see Wicked in Chicago!

I not only do I want to see Hairspray, but I want to BE in it...As Maybelle of course.

I am hoping to see spring awakening this summer and I saw cry-baby yesterday and it was soo good. I absolutely loved it! It was such a fun,funny,romantic, show. It made you feel good about yourself. I loved the songs. They were so catchy.
