Favorite Musical!

[Poseylee]

Both versions of Newsies are currently on Disney+ if that helps.

[Cate_Juhl]

I don’t have Disney+, so I bought the Broadway version on Amazon Prime, and I probably would buy the film version too, if I weren’t practically broke!

[Lindseylloyd052399]

Definitely The Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f] but Fiddler would be second probably

I also saw [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] Boys on Broadway so that was really good. I haven’t seen Mama [name_f]Mia[/name_f] but I know all the music from it haha

This is the hardest question ever, but here we go:

Les Mis - my all time favorite and it’s the first musical I ever saw
Mean Girls - a close second, I love it so much. So sad it closed on Bway but glad I got too see it once on Bway and once on tour
Legally Blonde - the first musical I saw on Bway, love me some LBB
In the Heights - CANNOT wait until the movie comes out! Wish they’d do a revival so I could see it again
[name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] - love, but I think I love ITH a little bit more
Wicked - obsessed
[name_f]Spring[/name_f] Awakening - OG, replacements, but esp. the Deaf [name_u]West[/name_u] production, perfection
Come from Away - love, love love. dying to see it again
Book of Mormon - hilarious, I’d love to go see it again too
The Prom - important, stunning, lovely, I have so many good things to say about it
Newsies - love it, so glad it’s on Disney+
[name_f]Evita[/name_f] - the 2nd musical I ever saw live but also love the [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] movie version
The Phantom of the [name_f]Opera[/name_f] - the 3rd musical I ever saw live, love [name_f]Emme[/name_f] playing [name_f]Christine[/name_f] in the movie too
The Greatest Showman - wonderful, wholesome
Mamma [name_f]Mia[/name_f] - a party on stage, what’s not love?!
Shrek the Musical - I love [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_m]Foster[/name_m] so of course I adore Shrek
Throughly Modern [name_f]Millie[/name_f], Anything Goes, [name_m]Young[/name_m] Frankenstein, [name_f]Violet[/name_f], The Drowsy Chaperone [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women - again all [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_m]Foster[/name_m], all the time
Dear [name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Hansen[/name_m] - heartbreaking, but oh so important
Bring it On - upbeat, fun, another LMM classic
The Last [name_m]Five[/name_m] Years - [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_m]Kendrick[/name_m] is stunning the movie
Hairspray - another party on stage
Rent - the stage and the movie, beautiful. So sad [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Larson[/name_m] never got to see his work play out on stage and continue to rivet audiences 25 years later
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - wish I saw it live. I think all of those kids are so talented
School of [name_m]Rock[/name_m] - ditto ^. Kids playing live instruments every night, amazing!!
The Color Purple - are you kidding me [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] Erivo!?
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] - a classic
In the [name_m]Woods[/name_m] - love the movie adaptation

Slowly getting into [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], The Heathers, Jagged [name_m]Little[/name_m] Pill, Hadestown, and [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]

[rwyant2003]

-waitress (if you havent listened to it, i seriously recommend)
-rent
-hamilton

-wicked

[jessicajanex17]

I cannot believe myself that I forgot Waitress!! I saw it on Bway with [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] Ballinger, [name_f]Alison[/name_f] Luff, [name_f]Charity[/name_f] Angél [name_m]Dawson[/name_m] and the other outstanding cast members and it was breathtaking. I honestly didn’t think I’d love it as much as I did/still do.

Also Beetlejuice! There’s so many stunning musicals other there. I can’t get enough.

[EmilyMcA]

[name_u]Les[/name_u] Mis
Mean Girls (I know it’s cringe but I actually really enjoyed seeing it in person)

[Cayleen]

i saw mean girls in previews! you’re so right, it’s become very cringy especially with the whole cameron dallas fiasco but it was a fun experience

[storygirl87]

Yes! Sometimes the soundtrack has a few too many skips for me, but the songs I like I really like. [name_u]Happy[/name_u] I saw it.

[Cayleen]

nothing better than bopping to revenge party in the middle of traffic

[NameLover2020]

My favorite is Les Miserables, then in close second would be Phantom of the [name_f]Opera[/name_f]! I’ve never actually seen either of those in-person, which stinks.

[Pansy]

Into the [name_m]Woods[/name_m] is definitely my favorite. I’ve only seen the recording of the original production (my parents recorded it off of PBS when I was a kid and I bought the DVD about twenty years ago) so I’m hoping that Broadway does a revival soon so that I can see it in person.
