Title: Musicals

Thought I'd start a new thread instead of ressurecting a 10 year old one. Are any of you guys into musicals? I've been going through Bettlejuice on repeat recently, and I love Matilda and Waitress. What about you guys?

Being friendly with the theatre arts majors at college I went to many of their rehearsals as well as their productions as well as Broadway productions in NYC. I too originally thought that breaking out in song seemed stupid until I got to appreciate the lyrics and how they moved the story along. Some of my all time favorites (stage and film) would be: Mame (which had a couple of lines about a progressive elementary school where the students were nude), Evita, La Cage aux Folles, Bohemian Rhapsody, and  Rocketman.

all my friends are massive broadway geeks, but the most i ever got into it was seeing matilda in new york when i was 10, les mis in baltimore a couple years ago, and serving a very laid-back tech role in my high school's production of damn yankees

I don't know if it is technically a musical, but The Sound of Music is literally one of my favourite movies!

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
.."

@Nudist.12 The Sound of Music is the very definition of a musical!

"...So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye..."


I apologize in advance if anyone was offended by my singing. I take full blame, it wasn't a frog with a sore throat.

I never thought of Pitch Perfect as a musical, but now that you say it, it makes sense

I just the other day finally got to see Hamilton and I've been listening to an online one called 36 questions. But yeah, I love all kinds of musicals I just don't get to see them as often as I would like. The last one I went to see in an actual theater was a professional performance of The Phantom of the Opera and before that was a local college's performance of Guys and Dolls.

@Cle Leftwrite How did you like Hamilton? I wouldnt think there are many live professional theatrical productions in Oklahoma  (even if there is a musical by that name  :rotfl2:). Hopefully as you travel you will be able to catch more theatre.

 I only got to see Hamilton thanks to there being an official taping up on Disney+, I enjoyed it a lot though, despite it being a taping of it. It was pretty much exactly what I was expecting from people's descriptions, which while that would usually be a negative, really isn't in this case. I've never seen something so handily live up to it's own hype.

Honestly, I wish more Broadway productions would get official tapings.  But, yeah not a HUGE amount of professional productions out here and the ones that do come by are often prohibitively expensive. There was actually a performance of Hamilton that I (in theory) could have seen about a year ago, but it was gonna be like $300 for seats in the nosebleed section and I am a poor college student who at the time had no job.

I absolutely adore musicals like West Side Story. It always seems to bring me to tears.

Thought I'd start a new thread instead of ressurecting a 10 year old one. Are any of you guys into musicals? I've been going through Bettlejuice on repeat recently, and I love Matilda and Waitress. What about you guys?

My career is actually in Lighting Design, and my education is in theatre. I've designed lighting for many musicals through my career. American Idiot, Bare, Next to Normal, RENT, Jesus Christ Superstar, Matilda, Theory of Relativity, Spring Awakening, and A Chorus Line are among the Musicals that were my favorite to design.

I was blown away by Tick...Tick...Boom on Netflix. Totally awesome companion to RENT. Who knew Andrew Garfield could sing? Apparently even he didn't know.

Not particularly into musicals but Mary poppins and bed knobs and broomsticks were favourites when I was a kid.

I’ve actually performed in some musicals, but I’m generally, with a few exceptions, not really a big fan.
