    If it is a musical, it has to be seen in live theater imho. My two favorites have been The Merry Widow and Showboat.

    It's not my favorite but since it hasn't been mentioned, I love Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin singing?! Lee Marvin's I Was Born Under A Wanderin' Star is lovely. I have the soundtrack on vinyl.

    ETA that the Muppet Movie is my favorite, probably followed by Annie. (I have both of those on vinyl too)

    Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. It's a musical that is also a 3 episode tv show. It's easy enough to watch in one sitting, it's about 90 minutes long.

    It's awesome! My son can sing the entire thing, lol!

    My favorites: Rent, Chicago, Wicked

    OH OH OH , and Spamalot!!!

    Mine's 7 Brides for 7 Brothers :drinker:

    I LOVE this one! Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is also really fun... but my favorite has to be the Phantom. Particularly the recent 25th anniversary production. I could watch that all day. Sometimes I do.

    Love love love it...

    Probably because you don't leave the show with the tunes in your head. The musical is great and very moving but the songs just aren't that catchy.

    You can't leave a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical without having songs in your head.

    Totally agreed.

    My son would belt out "Popular" in the car at the age of 8, that's how I knew I was doing this parenting thing right!

    Wicked


    ^^^ This

    All of my children love listening to the CD and I can't wait until its playing near by so they can see it live. I was lucky to be able to see it on vacation.

    I can't pick one. I can't even pick three.

    I pick:

    Rent
    Spamalot
    Evita
    Music Man
    Once Upon a Mattress
    Pippin
    Rocky Horror
    Wicked
    I love you, You're Perfect, Now Change
    The Producers

    By the way, these are in no kind of order, because of course, they are all fabulicious.

    My favorite will always be Rent, but there is a special place in my heart for Godspell. I performed in a community theater version about 3 lifetimes ago.
