Inanna Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I love watching musicals, from the old ones to the latest blockbusters, I find them so colourful and entertaining. From the stage to the big screen I'm usually glued to them and am always looking out for new ones Some of my favourites are: Seven Brides For Seven Brothers Phantom Of The Opera Jesus Christ Superstar Hello Dolly Sound Of Music Mary Poppins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanna Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I wasn't sure if you'd class it as a musical.. even though it has music! lol LOL anything that has people singing again and again in it counts as a musical in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've seen the west end musicals: Cats 4 times Starlight Express 2 times I would love to see: Phantom of the Opera I love musicals and would be happy seeing them all but for some reason people kept treating me to Cats lol....Not that I'm complaining. It changed everytime I saw it and I've loved each visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanna Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd love to see more musicals on stage I think they are so breathtakingly wonderful. Last year I saw 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and I adored it, it has always been my favourite musical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarahrob Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm not a huge fan of stage musicals (just can't stomach Andrew Lloyd Webber). I do love all kinds of film musicals, from Calamity Jane to How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying). I have on DVD: Chicago Calamity Jane 7 Brides for 7 Brothers The King & I State Fair Oklahoma The Sound Of Music Oliver Annie Mary Poppins Gigi The Wizard of Oz Little Shop of Horrors Cabaret West Side Story Guys & Dolls High Society Easter Parade Meet me in St Louis Can't think of any others at the mo (though I'm sure I have others).

Sarahrob Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I do love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but whenever anyone mentions it I get an overwhelming urge to break into song: "oh, me old bamboo, me old bamboo". Mary Poppins affects me in a similar way. Cor bloimey guv'nor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassenach Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm always worried that I'll start singing along when we go to see a musical. If you heard me sing you'd know why this is a particularly bad idea. Mia, one of our cats, always leaves the room when I sing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahrob Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm always worried that I'll start singing along when we go to see a musical. Try going to Eurodisney and being completely unable to stop yourself shouting at Mary Poppins. Cor Bloimey! :oops: I wouldn't be me if I didn't make a fool of myself at every given opportunity!

Acesare* Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 When I saw Grease for the second time, I went with my Mum who was supervising a trip for the school she worked for. My Mum and I were in a minibus with teachers and sixth formers and I basically did a one person performance of Grease - from start to finish in the correct order - on the way there. I was 12 and, with hindsight, am increadably embarrased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
