I thought there was already a thread for this, but ive searched and not found it...so..

 

Whats is your favourite theatre show or Musical?

 

Until yesterday my favourite was Rocky Horror followed by Little Shop of Horrors and Grease...BUT, yesterday i saw "The Book of Mormon".. WOW!

 

If you enjoy theatre, musicals and Southpark... this is simply genius, superb story, brilliant music and dance and fantastic performance.

The best musical ever!

I have a few favourites, its quite hard to just pick one. The best ones I've seen are The Phantom of the Opera, Aladdin, Rocky Horror & We Will Rock You. All brilliant for very different reasons.

 

 

One to avoid at all costs: Cats. Utter nonsensical drivel - but my wife loves it for some unknown reason

Spamalot. Seen it over a dozen times, I even flew out to New York to see it with the original cast. As a Monty Python fan I just had to go and see it. I can still remember that first time. Everything about it was just perfect. 

 

I've only seen Book of Mormon once but I ****ing loved that too. I'd love to see it again but tickets are so expensive these days! I quite often find myself listening to Hasa Diga Eebowai and Joseph Smit American Moses - Parker and Stone are part of a very small group of comedians that could have got away with that.

totally agree, it is quite simply, the ONLY show i have seriously considered leaving at intermission.

 

BTW, If easily offended, Book of Mormon may not be the right choice..lol

Sunny Afternoon is great if you like the Kinks.

I feel like we've had this conversation before. Are you sure there wasn't a Musicals thread somewhere? 😆

The Jersey Boys movie is absolutely shocking! The musical is so much better!

It’s all about Spooky Mormon helldream to be fair.

 

Seen it twice, ridiculously good.

Hamilton, no contest!

 

Seen it twice and ready to go for the hat trick. 

 

Mormon was also excellent - went when wife was 7 months pregnant...I swear she was about to give birth due to laughing so much

I’ve left at half time during Wicked (awful) and Billy Elliott (worse). Also sneaked off early during Rent...

 

Would honestly recommend watching a season of Puel football over all of these...

I really can't be doing with Musicals. My wife is mad keen and has dragged me along to loads of em over the years.

 

The only one that I remember being half decent was 42nd Street and that was probably only because we saw it in NYC.

The Lehman trilogy

 

Book of mormon in second, but the production, cast, props, budget etc are massive so it's always going to be good entertainment. Lehman on the other hand is three actors performing out of their skins in multiple different roles, over three hours with only one stage set up. Superb

The last 'Musical' if it can even be classed as that i went too, was Mary Poppins (the original version) when i was about 10. 

 

I seem to be very uncultured, but tbh they hold zero appeal to me.

Not sure why, but I can imagine you being the sort to dress up too. It's always the ones you least expect.... 😆

Too right, narrator style. Nice sports blazer and a tie, stockings and suspenders / high heels.
