Posted January 23, 200916 yr Gonna make myself look a right prat here (what's new? I hear you ask) and say that my all time favourite musical is Singin' In The Rain. Modern(ish) era it would be Grease. There you go, I've said it now.
January 23, 200916 yr I am presuming you mean film musicals Geezer. I will go with a top three. 1. Oliver (Ron Moody puts in the finest musical performance ever!) 2. Rocky Horror Picture Show 3. Singing in the Rain
January 23, 200916 yr Oklahoma Seven Brides for Seven Brothers An American In Paris Moulin Rouge I'll stop there. I've embarrassed myself enough :lol:
January 23, 200916 yr Hmmm - difficult to narrow it down to one - loved Singing in the Rain, Oliver, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, La Cage Aux Folles (the proper French version, please) Oklahoma, Carousel and Seven Brides for Seven brothers (especially the snow scene with Russ Tamblyn leaping over logs) Didn't like Moulin Rouge - sorry, ES My embarrassing admssion is I love Calamity Jane - the Deadwood Stage - I remember as a child being absolutely disgusted with her when she got all cleaned up and pretty in a dress instead of wearing her buckskins!
January 23, 200916 yr Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Which included the classic line 'What do I need manners for? I got me a wife!' Can't believe I forgot abut that - that knocks Singing in the Rain out of my top three.
January 23, 200916 yr For the acting Oliver. For the music Grease. For the storyline Fiddler on the roof. For the choreography My fair lady. Overall Grease because I was a very young teenager at the time it came out, and the songs actually remind me of the summer that year (79 wasnt it)?

January 24, 200916 yr Older stuff I like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Bless Your beautiful Hide) mid stuff I must have seen Grease a million times down to my missus and Daughter..I quite like it (wont tell them) new stuff Dream Girls, I know but I liked it Edited January 24, 200916 yr by Chippy
January 24, 200916 yr Les Miserables was good but only performed by my Dad's school, Llanishen High. It was a great show and better than the London soundtrack! About the HSM thing, my brother went on the PC and I was still logged in and posted that. Big mis-hap! Edited January 24, 200916 yr by Johan Gruyff
January 24, 200916 yr Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" is set to have a musical on Broadway soon, so it'll be that ;) Grease, Mamma Mia, Grease and Oklahoma. Also like My Fair Lady, but sorry Audrey, Julie is better!

Gem, off topic I know but my missus loves Dolly Parton and I wondered if you;d heard anything by Trisha Yearwood as she has loads of her stuff as well.?
