Okay, don't shoot me for trying to add a little more "culture" to this list! I have to say that I am CRAZY about musicals! My upmost favorite will always be "Miss Saigon", probably because I got to see it in Denver, Colorado and have had the CD since I was little. I also own and love the soundtracks to "Les Misérables", "The Phantom of the Opera", and "Rent". I wish I could see them in New York! Anyone else out there who can recommend or agree on any of these musicals??
I grew up with musicals. I am a rocker grrl now but my all time favorite musical is phantom of the opera. I know every word to every single song.
Marsha- I only have the greatest hit album to "Phantom of the Opera". Am I missing out? Thanks for writing, Alexis
hey, there is nothin wrong with liking musicals is there! i love radiohead and blur n stuff, but i still sing along to grease and the sound of music. and oliver and my fair lady and miss saigon and les miserables and west side story and blood brothers.....
leila-
Leila I must say i agree with you Blood Brothers is absoloutly FANTASTIC.It was great and I loved the Music and I admit I sing along with the best of them!!! I have seen Joseph,Buddy,Starlight express and the BluesBROTHERS on the stage but I love grease and any Marilyn Monroe musical too.
hey guys,
I love musicals!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me a bit about the musical Rent. It's just come to Canada, and it souds kinda cool, but I have no idea of the plot. Can someone clue me in?
Okay, about Rent, I've never seen it or anything, but I saw the opera that it's based on- "La Boheme". It's sort of a tragic love story... and I love, love, LOVE the song "Seasons of Love" from the musical.
My twin sister and I bought the CD to RENT and can sing it word for word. However, we have yet to see the show. We are traveling to Europe in 8 days and one of the only plans we made was to see the show! We Love the CD!!!

hey. i found a list on Broadway listings (for those who are close to New York City):
Tomorrow i am going to Les Miserables in Toronto. It's one of my fav mucicals...... I can't wait!!
Jekyll & Hyde was really good. I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I'm normally not one for musicals, but the music was used effectively & the leads all have great voices.
Keely--
Good it was really good..... I saw it in Toronto and the guy that played Valjean was so amazing..... What a voice!! My seats weren't greay but it is definetly worth seeing on stage!!! It's awesome and well worht it.

By Alexis on Thursday, July 9, 1998 - 05:39 pm:
We don't have blood brothers as far as I know... I grew up with "The Sound of Music", and I still sometimes sing it which is sad! Have you seen any of the musicals in London?

So far I have only heard a song from Les MIS on Dawson's creek but I hope to see the real thing in London soon.

maz, i reckon les mis is very overated, so i wouldn't bother. i saw that in london's west end and it was too long! the one u saw from dawsons creek was on my own, which i love! the music is great. see the new film.
i recently saw blues brothers (not blood brothers) and that was amazing! everyone was dancing and singing and i reccomend that to ANYONE.
gotta go babes,
love

Thanks for the support on the Sound of Music, Leila!
Has anyone seen a musical in New York City? I wish so much that I could see ANYTHING in London... maybe someday!!
Who are the blood bros and the blues bros??
I also have to add that the song from the musical "Kiss me Kate" entitled "I Hate Men" kicks royal ass, even though I don't hate men at all!!
