Musicals-

---

I love them, but I have never actually been to one... Does anyone know if people still re-enact a musical called 'Zanna, Don't!'?

I think they're great, even though I've never been to one live. I missed out on the Lion King when it was here in Hollywood, but Wicked is still playing. I'm still broke but I want to see it before they leave by the end of this year. But I do remember in middle school I saw The Wizard of Oz at the Pantages , but I don't remember if it was a play or musical.I saw Legally Blonde the musical on TV, and that was fantastic! It was actually better than the movie. I also loved Sweeny Todd, but that was the movie version. I have yet to see Mama Mia, Hairspray, and Rent. My college theater group did Oklahoma, but didn't see that also.If there is one musical I'd kill to see, its Spamalot.

I liked RENT, it's the AIDs awareness movie. :laughing:
I like... The Last Five Years too. :laughing:

In Zanna, Don't!, it looks really interesting, because like, the normal thing is to be a homosexual, and if you're a hetero people look at you funny and stuff, it just looks really amazing. I need to see this musical, haha.

Moulin Rouge hands down.Chicago, Hairspray, Rent (risque) etcBroadway shows I've been to are Les Miserables, Lion King, and Aida, I have a feeling there's something else but I can't remember.

Lol, yup yup! I really, really, really want to go see it. I loved the Holy Grail, so how can miss the musical? :laughing:

I looove musicals...One's i've been in- Chicago, Fame, High School MusicalCommunity theatre i've scene- Music Man, Grease, Kiss me kate.Broadway-Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Rent.Favorite movie musicals (of the top of my head)- Chicago, hairspray, grease, rent, fame, moulin rouge, both high school musical movies (ill admit it...),legally blond when it was on MTV, and anything disney.There are so many more I want to see though. If I had the time i'd get into doing theatre again, but i'll just stick to movies and stuff for now...

2 months ago I went and seen "Wicked" live and it was freaking fantastic!

Grease is one of my favorites!But, almost any musical "The Last Session", "The Sound of Music", "Hair", ("Rent" was OK), etc are all good! "The Sound of Music" is one of the few I like, but I like it a lot. It's a classic.

Same here, I'm not real big on musicals but I really like the Sound of Music. The rest I can do without... unless it's a live performance. Being in the theater instead of on the screen makes a big difference, somehow.

lol yeah but it's not like I can go all the time. It's very expensive but the excitement is great. City that never sleeps I can't tell you how many people I ran into. Some singer/rock star? guy named Adam Pascal I saw at Aida. He was friggin hott in his little red suit lol and really sweet showing me to the bathrooms and helping me get "unlost" in the huge theatre... long story. Julia Roberts... omg... I think I screamed my head off and she was only two feet away. Looking at me like I'm crazy. Zac Efron (BOOOOOO) he was at Hairspray in the audience. And all the girls were swooning. Claire Danes I saw outside of Phantom of the Opera though I didn't get to see it for myself. Paul Walker was with some chick outside of Rent. Don't know if he was actually going though.

as a thepian im offended at you who dont like musicals!!!lol, okey they're not for everyone...I love RENT! so much, im a renthead, seriously, but Aida was good, as was Fiddler on the Roof, Avenue Q, Spring Awakening, and Sweeney Todd. Ive never been to broadway, but there is a broadway theatre league which is basicaly the same people who have been int he show on broadway and now tour with it, seats are usually upper twenties maybe as high as 40, but compared to broadway its really good.Never count out community theatres alot of them are better than the professionals, and so are alot of high schools.

If we're talking about Broadway shows (absolutely sucked that all the theatres were on strike for the week I was in New York), then nothing is better live than The Phantom Of The Opera.

My cousin and i were talking about this just last night, He had always wanted to see it, and i was telling him about all the pyrotechnics, and fog machines and light changes, and now hes really psyched, we're heading in to the city to see it sometime soon... ^_^ can't wait!!!!!

I've been in productions of The Sound of Music , Carousel, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. Last fall I played Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, in February I played the Rev. Shaw Moore in Footloose, and next spring I will be directing a production of You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.But my favorite musical is Les Miserables.

fave all time?Here is a fucking shocker!Chance likes musicals!all tiem fave?because it was so fucking good and funny, and what not it doesnt matter that they cant sing worth shit...Paint your wagon. Movie version, clnt eastwood and lee marvin, followed by fiddler ont eh roof.Idid fiddler in high school, way back in my freshman year...1985 what part?NONE! I did stage craft, built the scenery and moved it on stage, had to wear a costume so if I got cuaght up on stage with eth ligths on or curtains to early I looked like I belionged ther and could jsut walk off, but I refused to sing shit! I can sing understand, I do it all teh time, careeoke! and showeroke! but noone would wnat to hear me sing Oddly enough another forum I beloing to we got a thread going now that is jsut us video taping ourselves in teh car, singing along to the radio, open road, top of your lungs shit.I am considering torturing those poor bastards with my own video, and a horrid song, I was thinking of that piece of bubble gum pop bullshit in the commercial... Rock me Gently I mean it is a utah outdoors forum, climbing, caving, camping, backpacking, campfire parties and drunkem madness.... that song was used for the jeep commercial recently...I think it would be funny as hell, I jsut may do it, but it hast owait till my budyd gets back from JOrdan as he took my video camera with him, and now he wont be back saturday, maybe the 31st, got sick and has been in teh hospital for about a week, If noone else int eh group does it... Ill be singing that horrid shit at the top of my lungs, windows down west desert with a smoke inmy mouth, sun glasses on and a voice that sounds like the devil shit on a cherry bomb! Rock me GENTLY,ROCK ME SLOWLY...take it esy dont'cha know glass breaking that i have never been luved like this before!

Iv been called worse!
and was it because of the musical or the song selection?
cos that song.. MAN! if your gonna do somethign to make an ass of yourself, it may as well be in total bad taste!
adn the musical?
piss off! its a great show!

I'm wondering whether "showeroke" means singing in the shower (with or without audience), or whether it means getting up on stage and not just singing, but also giving a show. Both seem plausible.

That's actually a good song.
