What's your favorite musical?

[aphex]

Just saw Phantom in London two days ago, and it was excellent, but Lion King is still my favorite....

Shows that i've seen;

Phantom of the Opera
Lion King
Stomp
Les Miserables
Music Man
South Pacific
Cats
42nd Street
West Side Story

And a few others i can't remember....

 

[spherrod]

Les Miserables is definitely my favourite

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Story line? Les Miserables

Music? Phantom of the Opera

 

[Leper Messiah]

Sir Spamalot Broadway adaptation of Grail.

 

[chuckywang]

West Side Story
Singin' in the Rain

 

[MrYAK]

Tim Burton's - A Nightmare Before Christmas

 

[Hossenfeffer]

"Falsettos" is way up there for me (Act 1 - March of the Falsettos, Act II - Falsettoland). Just brilliant.

Others that come to mind, and/or shows I'd recommend:
Little Shop of Horrors
Cabaret
Sweeney Todd
Avenue Q
Ragtime
Hedwig & the Angry Inch
Forever Plaid
Robber Bridegroom

Have yet to see Phantom. Saw Les Miz a couple times. It didn't live up to what I'd built the show/music up to be. Listened to the Symphonic Recording dozens of times, and the touring show just couldn't compare, at least in my eyes/ears. My favorite character, Javert, lacked all the emotion I was expecting.

Porgy and Bess

Annie wins by default cause it's the only one I've seen. They bore me.

Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Chicago

The King and I - Written and Produced by Peter Griffin

"Siam, 2015 AD. The city lies in ruins after the ninth nuclear World War. It is a grim future with lots of explosions and partial nudity. A future where an oppressive new king has seized power. Only one man can stop him. No, one machine."

If that's the only one you've seen, no wonder it bored you. Try seeing a show that doesn't suck before you write off the entire genre.

My favorite is Pippin followed closely by Godspell, Little Shop Of Horrors and Man Of La Mancha. Honorable mention for Tommy, Rent, Hedwig and Miss Saigon which are already starting to appear dated despite being good shows.

I can barely remember all the shows I've done or seen...

I saw this musical in NYC a couple months ago...

It's called the XXnd (don't know the exact number) Annual Putnam something Spelling Bee. Seriously the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Hands down.

 

[GasX]

I will say Chicago because Bebe Neuwirth has the most unbelievable pair of legs...

I will add Something Happened On The Way To The Forum because Nathan Lane is awesome.

It was profiled on NPR recently. Amazing how one can take something fairly mundane like a spelling bee and turn it into a musical.

May fave is Phantom followed closely by Cats.

 

[Medicine Bear]

Do The Wall or Tommy count?

 

[RedCOMET]

I saw Tommy Last Friday at Pittsburgh's Benedum Center. The music for the played rocked hardcore. It was awesome.

But my Favs are
Phantom
Les Mis
Fiddler on the roof
