One of my favorite things in the entire universe. =) I could talk about all things musical-y for hours and hours. My favorite shows would have to be Wicked and Rent. It's a tie, I can never choose between the two because I love them both so much. Beauty and the Beast is also up there, because it's the first musical I ever saw onstage and it's absolutely incredible onstage. Young Frankenstein, The Lion King, and Billy Elliot are all high on the list, too. They're all really, really, REALLY good. I couldn't get over how great Billy Elliot was; all the hype is defnitely deserved. =) I NEED to see Avenue Q and American Idiot. I don't know what I'll do with myself if I never get to see them. ><

I've never seen a musical on the stage sadly.
I like Cats and I am in love with RENT. I have watched it more then a dozen times. I really want to see Avenue Q as well.

I've never seen Cats. I really enjoy that 'Skimbleshanks' song, though.

I saw the Nutcracker once. It was pretty cool.
I've memorized almost all the songs from Cats. My favorites though are McCavity, Rum Tum Tugger and Mister Mistoffles. ^_^

I saw Avenue Q in November last year in the West End. I really want to see Wicked and Chicago. Gonna have to drag someone down to London with me.

Oh Chicago! I forgot about that one. I loved the movie of it but I want to see it on the stage. I wish I lived in London.

My two favorites are a tie between RENT and Peter Pan, which is probably a really awkward combination. But I'm kind of obsessed with Peter Pan so it makes more sense in that context, I also really like Stephen Sondheims rendition of Aristophanese the Frogs, but I'm a classics nerd.

Have any of you seen the DVD of Rent's last Broadway performance? It's AMAZING. You can get it on Amazon.

I saw it when it streamed in theatres, and I bought a copy of the DVD at the theatre when Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal came through with the tour and my roommate and I went to the show. The girl that plays Mimi in there is absolutely fucking phenomenal. Love so much.

I've seen Dirty Dancing and Sister Act on stage... definitely recommend them both! But my favourite musical is Sweeney Todd - showtunes, murders, pies... damn, you just cannot go wrong! Aside from that, Chicago is also a favourite! I'd love to see it in the West End...

^Oooh, that'll be awesome! They are both fantastic shows. You'll have to tell us what you thought of them.
