Anyone have a favorite musical?

Spring Awakening

Spring Awakening is such a masterpiece that I’m angry it hasn’t been adapted to a movie.

I’m also obsessed with South Pacific and Man of La Mancha.

CATS.

Not kidding.

a) I am bisexual. It's the best show for being bisexual

b) I love the rhythmic games it plays inside the music, both for orchestra and vocalists

c) you can only perform it properly if you are at the top of your game physically and vocally

d) I like how the plot is cryptically buried and has to be interpreted

I have a weird love for Across the Universe.
The middle is a bore, but I love the 1st and 3rd act.
How I learned to like The Beatles.

After I saw Book of Mormon in the first Norwegian version, I played the full original soundtrack almost every day for years afterwards.

Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical is pretty darn good. I’m a big fan of Kristen Bell (The Good Place, Veronica Mars) and her singing and dancing and singing while dancing is super impressive. And then, there’s… that outfit.

Also, Alan Cumming doing his thing, which is always entertaining.

Yesterday, a 2019 film is good in that it is the Beatles music but in a world where no one has heard of the Beatles.

Reefer Madness was absolutely amazing. Kristen Bell has been sneaking her way into my life a lot lately lol. I'm watching Veronica Mars tonight and hadn't ever heard of it before. I watched Reefer Madness and Burlesque in the same night by coincidence. Also recently finished rewatching The Good Place.

Seeing Book of Mormon was my theater highlight, it’s so great

[marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Probably Rocky Horror, it’s so fitting for my personality. I think the most moving musical I’ve ever seen was Porgy and Bess though. It’s very emotional and it’s hard to top Gershwin music. I really enjoy Fiddler on the Roof too, I rarely pine over John Williams but damn if he didn’t do it for me with that music.

Alexander Hamiltons soundtrack is phenomenal however I have never watched it, and I believe I maybe have watched one or two others in my childhood. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've never really been that much of a musical fan generally, but if animated musicals count, then Lion King is always a win, as well as Nightmare before Christmas.

Also, there are some Muppets flicks that are pretty good too, A Muppet Christmas Carol has some songs that legit could've gotten radio play, for example, such as 'Marley & Marley.'

Westside Story, Rent, The Wiz
