I just saw this play and it was wonderful.

What is your favorite play or musical?

[LixyChick]

I've only ever seen Bye Bye Birdie and Arsenic and Old Lace. They were both good though!

[Oldfart]

Last I can remember is "Grease".

[musicman]

I have seen so many but my favourite is Les Miserables (seen it 9 times)

Love that show...

[1nutworld]

My favorite musical is Phantom Of the Opera, seen it 4 times, each time catching something "new" when I see it.

My favorite play is "same time next year".

[IowaMan]

Phantom was the best I've seen. Granted, I haven't been to all that many.

[Aqua]

I haven't been to very many, and most have been high school or local theater so it's not really fair to put them up against the full production of The Lion King. That was incredible. Although I will say that The Merchant of Venice production I saw at a local high school a long time ago was absolutely superb.

[IowaMan]

You know what, now that I think about it, I have seen one I liked better than Phantom. Don't laugh but it was "Aladdin" and was put on at Disney's California Adventure. It was absolutely amazing.

[dicksbro]

So many that I've loved ... Arsenic and Old Lace; West Side Story; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and others ... but my all time; no question about it; favorite musical was Fiddler on the Roof! Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic!

... and I liked it, too! :)

[VeryLonelyMan]

Huge Phantom fan right here, I do like Les Mis but I haven't heard the music to that forever now. Might need to hunt that up.

[Teddy Bear]

We have to pick one? Hmmm... not sure I can do that....

So many good ones, Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Annie, Jesus Christ SuperStar, Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, Romeo & Juilette......

Ok, if I have to pick one it'd be The King & I with Sandy Duncan as Anna!

:)... or maybe the Phantom or Oklahoma or .......

[Jude30]

Does Pink Floyd's The Wall count as a musical? :)

[Aqua]

Does Pink Floyd's The Wall count as a musical? :)
As far as I'm concerned it does. :nod:

[Jude30]

Then I pick that one.

[professor3699]

Hands down....

[osuche]

I loved....
- Miss Saigon
- Les Miserables
- Copenhagen (a play about nuclear physicists...of course I'd love it)
- Midsummer Night's Dream
- Taming of the Shrew

[ReaperWoman]

Not so much of musical fan, but plays...

Midsummer Night's Dream is by far my favourite. I've seen it about 5 or 6 times by various companies who set it in various times and locations. I love how it can translate so well...
Honourable mentions go to Passing Places, Waiting for Godot, Slab Boys (laughed my ass off and I rarely do that when I'm in a theatre...), and any Pratchett book performed on stage (but perhaps that's just cause I love Pratchett....? :blink:)

Also, Shakespeare in any way shape or form...






...so I like plays... :p

[wyndhy]

the stinky cheese man 'cause it's the first play i took my girl to see. and she got it! understood it ... the whole experience. why and how it's different than the movies or tv, what it must feel like to perform live on stage, how the set design is so important, how much a part of the theatre and the players and the play itself she felt.
she amazes me.
