Musicals?

Post by maxandliz4ever1357 »

Just out of curiosity, are there any musical or Broadway play fans on this board?

I'm a self-proclaimed drama geek, and I'm presently obsessed with both Rent and Wicked. They're the best! Anyone agree?

I just got tickets to go see Wicked in New York for August...I'm so freakin excited!!!!

I'm a theatre Tech/Design major. I'm currently working on "Urinetown" which I highly reccomend if you love musicals. It's basically a musical that makes fun of musical theatre conventions. It's amazing!

Surfgirl02: Oh, lucky! I have a friend that's going to see it, and I'm so jealous. And thanks, I'll look into that.

Itzstacie: I love Phantom of the Opera. I've seen it onstage, and it's absolutely amazing. I've seen Cats as well, which was a lot of fun, although I didn't love it as much as other ones I've seen.

I'm a big musicals fan - I've lost count of how many I've been to.

As far as I can remember, I've seen Chicago, West Side Story, Grease, Cats (well, on TV at least), Fame, Sunset Bvld, Me and My Girl, Singing In The Rain, Oliver, Kiss Me Kate, My Fair Lady and Copacabana. I saw The Lion King on Broadway for my 21st birthday - best musical I've ever been to.

I haven't yet seen Phantom of the Opera on satge, although I'd like to go sometime :) .

I loved Cats and have been dying to see Phantom for as long as I can remember! I wasn't crazy about My fair Lady, cause it didn't have anything on the origional, but the movie version w/ Audrey Hepburn (sp) was good. I auditioned for my school's rendition of Children of Eden but sadly (sniff...sniff...) didn't get the part. Oh well, I know I'm good, and someday, you guys'll be seeing ME on stage! :D

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom,
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him.
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight,
But I don’t want the next best thing.
So I sing, I hold my head down, and I break these walls ’round me.
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love.

I've seen Phantom, Le miserabe (sp?) and Cats. (Sniif, i miss NY) LOVED Phantom!! If you've never seen a show on stage you must. They are the best.

Les Mis! How was that? I heard it's awesome, but I've yet to see it. They're making a movie.

It was GREAT. I love the music so i loved it on stage. I've seen two movies of it but there is nothing like seeing it on stage. If you get a chance to see it go for it.
