I just really like watching people sing and dance for me on stage what can I say
Rn I’m obsessed with muscials and stuff and my fave is probably
Sweeney Todd
? idk but I like it
Stephen Sondheim is a beautiful man and I literally never get bored of any rendition of Sweeney Todd, which is why I happily sat through a high school steampunk version one time
Other musicals I like:
Bat Boy
Little Shop of Horrors
Into the Woods (1989 Bernadette Peters version )
Shrek
Mean Girls (kinda)
And yes, I know how all of these make me look like a child but I like magic and hope what can u do
Hamilton, Les Miserable, Falsettos, Book of Mormon, Be More Chill, Heathers, Phantom of the Opera, Dear Evan Hansen, Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, Dreamgirls, Chicago, Hairspray, Wicked, Anastasia, Waitress, Company, Rent, Kinky Boots, Bring It On, Avenue Q, and Carrie (that’s all i could think of so… )
I only knew it cause I was an avid fan at Stephen King and I saw in the comments about the play and I was like “CARRIE HAD A MUSICAL?!? Omg I must see ”
Into the Woods, Hair, Funny Girl, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, Wizard of Oz (yes I consider it a musical, ok?), Annie, Matilda, Spring Awakening, Hedwig, Anything Goes, The Great Comet of 1812 (kinda), Newsies (almost hitting me), In The Heights, Mamma Mia, Singin’ in the Rain, Westside Story, Cats, and Cinderella (impossible )
(And all of this because I heard a song from Love Never Dies, and revived from the Hamilton… I still got a few more musicals that I have yet to discover, but interested. Sue me.)
I actually can’t stand musicals… they irritate the hell outta me, I usually fast forward the singing if I watch Mamma Mia lol.
But, if I had to pick a favourite in that genre, is go with Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, just purely as Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are incredible actors and their on screen double act is amazing to watch.
Hey Yesterday I saw a musical (Chicago) and I realized that it’s my 10th musical/opera that I’ve seen so I started making a list of the ones I want to see in the future.
Have you seen any musicals, operas, etc? Which one is your favourite? Or do you only see the ones that are on television? Which ones do you think are the worst?
Mean Girls (saw it twice when I lived in NYC, I think it grows on you… the first time I thought the songs were just ok, now I have distinct go-to faves like Apex Predator, Stop, Sexy, and Meet the Plastics- esp Karen’s part)
Book of Mormon
Hamilton (because basic)
Avenue Q
And I adore the show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! Got my husband to admit he sometimes likes musical stuff with this + Avenue Q.
