Musicals Anyone?

I was surprised not to find an Appreciation thread for musicals and Broadway. I mean, I can understand people being ashamed of an unhealthy obsession with musicals in real life but I figured the anonomity of the net would bring people out of their shells.

Whether they're camp and outrageous or heartfelt and tear-jerky, they are always entertaining. Some of my oldtime favourites are Les Mis, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Evita, Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, West side Story, Into the Woods, Miss Saigon, My Fair Lady, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Bye Bye Birdie... Cats... (I have lots of favourites. )

And because I'm all the way down in Australia, I live vicariously through my limewire and Kazaa to download all the songs from the new broadway shows... like Avenue Q, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee...

Please tell me I'm not alone in this pathetic existence?

What are other's favourites?
Why do we love musicals?

I must admit i'm a bit of a fan of musicals but mainly the older ones like Phantom of the Opera, Starlight Express, Cats, Les Mis and Miss Saigon. I actually went to the opening night and after party of Miss Saigon in sydney years ago and it was the most amazing night i will never forget! To be honest I haven't really seen any newer ones - none of then have really interested me all that much, i think the last thing i saw was either Rent or Blood Brothers.

Luckily we do have a Musicals thread, it was just a couple of pages back. Here it is: Musicals/Broadway Appreciation
