Musicals

[cprocks22If the donkey is rockin, don't come knockin!]

The Lion King (The intro nearly made me cry, it was fudging fantastic!)

I LOVE the intro to Lion King, I was lucky enough to get an Isle seat both times i saw it (on Broadway and on tour).

Other Favorites:
Phantom of the Opera, such an awesome story (the hopeless romantic in me talking)
Les Miserables, again amazing story, just an all around great play.
Spamalot, I had to leave the theater once cause I was laughing so hard.
Wicked, Defying Gravity blew me away.
RENT, have yet to see it live, but the Movie was amazing.

It's a shame to hear you didn't get what you wanted, but it's even better you're still going through with the performance!

Remember: saying 'good luck' is bad luck,
saying 'MacBeth' in a theatre will probably kill you
and last of all: Have fun!

Yes, there's no way I wouldn't do this show. It's too incredible to pass up.
It just feels weird that I stayed until the 6:00 after school with only three other guys and sang for Javert, Veljean, and Marius over and over and over and I didn't even get a part that has a name.
That, and I really don't like the voice of the guy who got Marius. I never have. It's completely a show choir voice, but it's way too light for musicals (especially this one) in my opinion. He played Danny last year in Grease and I couldn't figure out why.

For those who are WICKED interested...

www.broadway.com has just posted a video in regards to the special 5th Anniversary Fundraiser held on Monday, with bits and pieces from the evening itself, and interviews with some of the former Elphabas, Galindas, and other performers for the evening.

It's nearly ten minutes long, and it's quite good. Almost looks and sounds like the evening could make up a great new CD for those who love this show.

Like myself.

I have the soundtrack to and will eventually see (or would love to have seen):

A New Brain

I had to quote Hector here because I didn't know anyone else had heard of and loved the soundtrack to A New Brain. It's my favorite musical soundtrack and I would have killed to see it.

The Spamalot soundtrack is in my car and plays perpetually. It's great for singing along in the car. I also would have killed to see the original cast of this show.

I saw Curtains in NYC in June 2007. It was awesome and I got to meet my hero, David Hyde Pierce after the show.

I've also seen and really liked, but not on Broadway: Grease, Rocky Horror, Phantom of the Opera, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

My favorite movie musical (and movie) is Singin' In The Rain. Other movie musicals I love are Cabaret, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, The Sound of Music, 42nd Street and many others.

I love musicals!

Ooh, A New Brain is great!!

I've seen a ridiculous amount of musicals, but my favorite has always been Les Miz. I honestly don't even know how many times I've seen it.

I'm also a fan of tons of others, especially Rocky Horror, Cabaret, The Last Five Years, Spamalot, and Avenue Q, just to name a few.

[smartestcoasterkidever!X is the best. Tatsu sucks.]

My all-time favorite Broadway show closed on October 12th Legally Blonde: The Musical. I own the soundtrack to that. I memorized every song.

I really want to see RENT, the music from it is amazing. But it just recently closed after 12 years on Broadway.

Wicked looks EFFING AMAZING and when I watched "Defying Gravity" I was blown away. I downloaded it to my iPod.

Avenue Q looks funny as hell. Hope I can see it some day.

Hairspray (Movie) was amazing. I have the soundtrack to that too! I want to see it on Broadway. Or tour. Whichever.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love it. It's so bizarre and the songs are catchy, plus it's interactive with the "cult lines" to shout out. I'm actually going to a screening tomorrow night on my campus's quad.

I also love Wicked and I'm going to see it in April. Normally I'm not a musical guy but the story fascinates me and the songs are excellent.
