recommendations for the broadway/musical sort

I was wondering if perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing some of your favourite musicals with me, I'd be pleased to hear them, and I am always on the lookout for more to watch.

Sound of Music is my very favourite, though I also quite enjoy Singin' in the Rain, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Chicago, and several more I should think, though they slip my mind. Oh! I watched both Moulin Rouge and Sweeney Todd recently and loved them too.

For something more recent, you might try Across the Universe.; ▶ Reply to This

Sweet Charity
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Oklahoma!
Cats
The Phantom of the Opera
Evita
Divine Madness
Stomp: Stomp Out Loud
Blue Man Group: How to Be a Megastar Live!

There are so many more I could recommend (the last two are not quite "stories", but still great fun the watch!); ▶ Reply to This
