Musicals, Plays, etc. - 08-10-2008, 05:28 AM

Hey there. I haven't seen any threads about musicals, stage, drama, and plays. I thought in this thread people can discuss their favorite musical or play, and it can include movies.


Thanks for reading!

Mamma Mia! xD

Just kiddin'.

Favorites listed are RENT and Sweeney Todd. I saw an actual Sweeney Todd musical once. x]


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

I was so disappointed I couldn't list more than 10 musicals. There are so many more I can list that are good.

I don't have money nor my parents permission to go to Chicago alone to see musicals. I'm stuck watching movies.

I've seen a lot of musical movies, but Sweeney Todd is my favorite. I love all of the musicals I've seen.

I saw Mama Mia! in the movie threatre... It was funny. lol But not my top favorite. Peirce Brosnan CANNOT sing...

Grease, Chicago.

Then our Czech: Dracula, Dr. Jekyll&Mr. Hyde, Joanne D'Arc, Gallileo, Golem, Rat-catcher, Three musketeers,...

They all have beautiful music, actors and story .p

I like the play Pygmalion, although not so much the musical version. I've never been much into broadway, but I did really like 'Across the Universe'

YouTube - Across The Universe - Come Together

This was one my favorite parts

No love for The Producers?

Man, I've never laughed so hard until I saw that movie for the first time (and Lord knows I wish I had seen it on stage, that would've been amazing).

How in the world do people reach 1,000+ posts?

*cries* I've seen so many musicals and I forgot to mention so many. Phantom, Chicago, The Color Purple, The Wiz...

Not to mention, we must include plays... I participate in my school's plays, but I'm a sucky singer and it's harder for me to get into the musicals. I prefer acting in plays than musicals. lol That's the power of being on the speech team is that it's easier to get into plays.

I love "Wicked"


... But my fav's aren't on the list, and most of you prob never heard of them... they're typically french such as Moliere's "George Dandin"... There are so many adaptations to this, but the best one I've seen is by a tiny theatre not too far away from where I live in Paris...

I might add that The Prince of Tennis Dream Live 3 musical was very good. Anime musicals are always corny and very, very, very fanservicey, but I think PoTDL3 qualifies to be great. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube.
