The Lala Post got me thinking.....favorite Musicals?

What is your favorite all time musical??? I REALLY enjoyed Lala Land. It was such a great musical. My dad always loved A Chorus Line and for whatever reason I put the soundtrack on yesterday and surprised myself that I still knew most of the songs.

My kids had a dance competition this past weekend and one of the categories was Musical Theater so there was a lot from Mary Poppins with the tap, which I guess also had me thinking of musicals.

Anyway...I think my all time favorite is West Side Story. The music from Cats is phenomenal though.
After seeing Beauty and the Beast....hmmmmmmmmm

Wow!! I cant believe it!! West Side Story was my all time favorite musical too!!!  Grease was my second favorite!! "we go together"

Oh Jenny! Now I'm going to be singing that song all day!!!

Musicals are not my favorite thing to watch. Never could get into watching a scene and all of a sudden they break out in song and dance. But I did love two.  I watched them over and over.  Rhinestone with Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton { singing Drinkenstein } and Best little Whorehouse in Texas with Dolly Parton.

Grease and The Sound of Music.

Kathy, you are funny! My dad used to LOVE Best Little Whorehouse in Texas! That movie cracks me up! So many one liners! I totally forgot that was even a musical!

My favorite part of that movie is when Dolly sings I will always love you to Burt Reynolds. I love the Disney ones too like the original Cinderella . Going to go see Beauty and the Beast Saturday.

that happened to me too!!!

Sound of Music for sure!!

The Phantom of the Opera love it seen it 6 times in London, also loved Love Never Dies, saw that in London but unfortunately it did not take off in the UK, but at least we had an ending to the Phantom. Australia have
a great version on DVD which I also have, told my friend in New Zealand it was coming to Australia, she and her 2 sisters flew to Australia to see it, and thankfully they loved it too.

Grease was my favourite modern film.

It's not that I have seen many musicals, but didn't really nobody mention Fiddler on the Roof (Anatevka)? The humour from the beginning till nearly the end. I'll never forget the distressing end. And the song: If I were a rich man.
If you keep telling that West Side Story is your favourite: OK, that would be mine too. Because of Leonard Bernstein.

omgosh!! Forgot about Fiddler on the Roof!! *starts singing... if i were a rich man, la la la la la*
Classic!!!

OMG...How could I forget FIDDLER?

Sang " Sunrise, Sunset " at many Weddings...and LOVED...TRADITION!!!

That is a good one!!!!

I think I'm going to start taking my girls to see musicals downtown. The Nutcracker was the first thing they have ever seen at the theater. I fel they are missing out, just because my husband is not into anything like that. I grew up going to shows and watching all the musicals on tv from My Fair Lady and The King and I...Oh I could go on and on......

In 2001 I went to see "Off Broadway" production of The Scarlet Pimpernel. It was amazing! Got to meet the actors afterward. Liked it so much when it came to my town that I traveled to meet online fan friends in Rhode Island to see the show three more times.

Love Fiddler On the Roof, too! Saw it several times on TV. Love the music!

LaLa Land Just hit the Redbox ladies...it's worth the rent!!!!!
