    Les Miserables is my favorite! I have seen it many times, and I could probably sing the entire soundtrack by heart. I LOVE it. I also like Miss Saigon, Annie, Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music and Rent.

    I directed over 40 high school musicals and like many of the ones mentioned here. Another one I like a lot which surprised me was Honk!

    It's not my all-time favorite, but no one has mentioned Gigi so I figured I should represent.

    Phantom of the opera, every once in awhile I break out the CD I got when I saw it years ago and crank it. Gives me chills

    Wicked, Avenue Q, West Side Story, Into the Woods, Anything Goes, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (so catchy!... I know it's terrible, but I do love it).

    ... and if we're going campy TV musicals, Cannibal the Musical has to be my favorite.

    Can't pick one.

    Into the Woods, Les Mis, Rock of Ages, Rent, Fiddler, Sweeney Todd.

    There are more. But I figured 6 was sufficient. LOVE musicals, can't wait to see a few on Broadway next year.

    having had an Aunt who lived in the Broadway district of NYC in the late 60's into the late 70's, I was raised on musicals, and I never saw one I didn't love.

    BUT for this journey I have a song, it's from Burlesque.

    This is the song that has stopped me from reaching for that cupcake time and time again, the song in my car, always at the ready to hit play when I see the Golden arches, the song that I play over and over while I exercise, the song I hear in my head, with fists clenched, and un-relentless determination, while I envision all those who have used, and abused me, put me down, told me I wasn't worth the effort, good enough, lovable, desirable, pretty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6l5VE1SC8I "You Haven't Seen The Last of Me"...

    I like My Fair Lady, but I hated the way it ended. I remember really vividly when I first saw Moulin Rouge.

    This is a REALLY hard question. but Les Miserables.

    I have never seen Les Miserables as a musical. I have only heard it as a Radio Theatre by Focus on the Family and it is so good in that version. I did not know until I heard the audio version that the story is wonderful.

    Phantom of the Opera or..... Guys and Dolls.

    I loved Phantom of the Opera as a young adult. I have not seen it in a while so I do not know if I would still like it. I like musicals, especially the music!

    It's a toss up of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, & There's No Business Like Show Business. The movie Goddess that recently came out was pretty fun, too.

    you should revise with the 25th anniversary production on DVD it had the 2 leads from Love Never Dies (Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo) the 2 of them nailed the part and almost surpass the greatness that was Brightman and Crawford. as for the music it never gets old, i could listen to that over and over again. Love Never Dies not so much that was pretty awfull..
