There isn't a poor song in it.

Yes, I'm shortlisted for Nancy and today they tried my voice out...

I did not get the part as Nancy, but a stupid character called Ethel who only says 2 things.

Since it has not been mentioned, Dancer In The Dark is an affecting musical

Ooh, it is indeed! I loved that film, despite really not being a fan of Bjork at all - she gave an excellent performance & the direction was superb.

:that:

 

That's not a completely bad thing Tiger, as you get to have a laugh and enjoy the production without the weight of the responsibility :lol:

Yeah, I suppose that it's also a good thing that I'm not Nancy as I would have been practicing tons and tons of lines over the school holidays.

 

thank you for making me feel better about it!

I went to see Miss Saigon at the Bristol Hippodrome on Wednesday (a pressie from my friend for my 40th birthday!). It was amazing. Such a fantastic show, with an excellent cast and the scenes and scene changes were awesome.

 

It was very, very sad in places, but such a great story. I'd totally recommend it!

 

Other musicals I've seen are:

 

Mamma Mia

The Phanton of the Opera

Grease (twice)

High Society

Loads of Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas

I'm going to be predictable and say Singin' In The Rain-you've got to love Gene Kelly!

 

Singin' in the Rain: That's my absolute favourite film, musical or not! I love it! I took some friends to see it on the big screen last year, and it was nerve wracking - I was so worried thay wouldn't like it. But it seems to be a truth universally acknowledged that any person who hates that film, must be in want of a soul :roll:

 

I also love Little Shop of Horrors, Cabaret, Evita, Oliver!, Gypsy, The Sound of Music (first time I watched it, I was 18. How was it possible to be 18 and not seen it??), Moulin Rouge!, and I am quite partial to a bit of Les Miserables... :blush:

I've a warm spot in my heart for The Music Man -- watching Hermione Gingold in the movie version spoofing Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis (One Grecian Urn ... trickle, trickle, trickle) is just priceless!

 

I will always love Singing in the Rain -- it is brilliant on so many levels!

It really is: so beautifully shot, so funny and just life affirming. I don't necessarily believe that the point of all films is to cheer you up, but that film has never failed me. I always save it for times when I'm feeling really low and watch it.

 

Would anyone else care to grab a brolly and go dancing in the street? :blush:

I have four favourite Musicals:

 

Cats

Evita

Joseph

Wicked

 

I've seen Wicked twice that show is amazing! And I've seen Cats too, that's also very good.

 

Would love to see the others, fingers crossed one day!
