Thunderpussy

Not a big fan of musicals but I have a few.

1, little shop of horrors
2, Hairspray
3, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Number24

I like "Singing in the rain" and "Sound of Music."

Higgins

My favorite is "Freudiana" which ran for only 2 years in Vienna.

Silhouette Man

I'll say Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as it's Fleming related but I don't care for musicals as a general rule!

Mr Martini

Not a big fan of musicals, but have a few favorites. Was even forced to be in one in High School in a very minor role.

A couple of my fave are The Wizard of Oz and The Music Man. I'm sure there's more but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Only one; The Blues Brothers

I remember as a youth in the 1970's watching Elvis Presley musicals such as King Creole and G I Blues, the Beatles Help, and Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday and I thought they were pretty good.

In more recent times (approx 15 years ago) I went to see Phantom of the Opera at a theatre in London and I genuinely enjoyed it. But never felt inspired enough to go and watch others. It was the last time I watched a musical at the theatre. The same since with TV, apart from an odd clip from time to time.

I'm a bad tempered, cynical old bastard but The Sound of Music always fills me up. And I hate it for that haha :v

In no particular order: The Blues Brothers, Mama Mia, Singing in the Rain, Oklahoma!, The Music Man, Hair, Quadrophenia, and The Sound of Music.

Sir Miles

As well as others mentioned I always liked Tommy -{

The Wizard of Oz.

Jesus Christ Superstar & Joss Whedon's Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling": all else pales by comparison IMHO.

James Suzuki

Oh, where to begin?
Singing in the Rain, Mamma Mia, Annie, The Temptations, Footloose, Guys and Dolls, Urinetown, Crazy For You (Gershwyn) and Mary Poppins.

Hardyboy

Glad to see West Side Story got a plug; and I'd like to add another--Carousel. Who can hear "You'll Never Walk Alone" and not get a lump in the throat?

Wizzard of OZ by a mile,

I'm glad, I'm not the only one who likes Wizard of Oz on AJB.

Certainly not I ! Especially with over forty thousand Scousers singing it :x

Sir Hillary Bray

I've never seen anything better than Les Miserables on stage. Amazing.
If we're talking films, I have to go with The Sound of Music.

I'm a bit of a Sondheim fan with Sweeney Todd being my favorite - especially the San Francisco Symphony version with Patti Lupone, George Hearn and Neil Patrick Harris in it. Though the 1982 version with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury is pretty darn good too.

Le Samourai

My two favorite musicals reflect a certain dual nature: 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Cabaret.'
