Well, I had a pretty
Well, I had a pretty long meeting today, and I made this little list to keep myself awake. Here's a list of my favorite musicals, in ascending order (the best is first).
Les Miserables - This was the first show I went to, and my favorite. It's got everything, great story, beautiful music, visually beautiful
Miss Saigon - Who couldn't love the story of a whore who falls in love? Best music out of the bunch.
Cirque du Soliel: O - This was just amazing and breathtaking. Cirque du Soliel at its best. A MUST if you go to Vegas.
Rent - I cried. Multiple times. A great musical for our times.
Phantom of the Opera - The scenery is beautiful, and the music haunting.
Chicago - Jazzy, funny, and a good 'ole time. And hey, it's named after my favorite town.
Mama Mia - Who'd have thought that all the Abba songs I grew up to would make such a great story and a fun musical?
Beauty and Beast - This wouldn't have made the list if I hadn't seen it on Broadway, with my childhood idol, the original Annie, Andrea McArdle as Beauty.
Blue Man Group - One of these things is not like the other. Which is why you've got to go see this. Is it art? Musical? Social commentary?
Tony and Tina's Wedding - I hope my wedding doesn't turn out like this. The best thing about TnT is the audience participation.
