I'm currently having a pretty heady romance with Phantom Of The Opera, but other favourites include Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Sound Of Music, Cats & Joseph.
But what's your favourite?  |

I've just discovered something rotten'on Spotify which sounds quite good.
YouTube 'God I hate Shakespeare'.... Best line in a musical 'don't be penis, the man is a genius' 
Other than that I'm still hooked on the book of Mormon |

That is a very difficult decision. As stage shows go, Saturday night fever was pretty amazing (Adam Garcia played the lead), but I love Miss Saigon and Les Mis, because of the songs.
I really don't think I can pick a favourite, I love them all.

"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
Went through a phase of watching it once a week, if not more haha. "
Damnit. Forgot Joseph, which is annoying as I was in it as a kid. |

There are some very bizarre ones in my collection:
Carrie
Titanic
Jekyll & Hyde
Assassins.
Bonnie and Clyde.
All very odd topics or books to base a musical on!
I loved Book of Mormon and Matilda. Also saw Beautiful which was surprisingly funny (closing in the West End soon). Favourite is provably Evita - one woman from the past I'd love to have at my fantasy dinner party!! |

Without a shadow of a doubt, The Sound of Music.
It evokes very special memories of a wonderful Grandmother who meant the world to me.
She pretty much brought me up as my own mother was 'unavailable'. It was her favourite musical/film and every Sunday we would sit down, eat cakes or sweets and watch it, singing the songs together.
We must have done that for months and months on end...every single weekend. I still know a lot of the songs by heart, and each time I hear one of them it makes me cry.
A long time ago, for one Mother's day, I paid for us to have a nice meal in a lovely restaurant (Italian, bet fave) and afterwards go to a local theatre to see a performance of the musical.
What an amazing day..... made even more so by her strength.
Her health was deteriorating rapidly by this point. A few weeks previously she had a total hip replacement (only just stopped using a crutch to walk) and she was in severe pain having just recovered from a dreadful bout of shingles, but she never once moaned.
I cant watch that film/musical to this day without bawling the entire way through. |
