Different day, different best musical -

melidasaur had a very good call with Sweeny Todd. I thought we could only mention one. I loved the stage version that had Angela Lansbury.
hums....it stings a little, but not for long....

I like the Sound of Music. Good music, plus they escape from the Nazi's.

South Pacific, Dr. Doolittle, Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, and The King and I are pretty good too.

the classic "Dr Zeus" forces me to say that my favorite musical is the Planet of the Apes, on the Simpsons.

This is so tough.
I would have to say "Oklahoma!" as the best "classic" musical (with My Fair Lady a close second), and .. modern... hmmm between The Producers and Sweeney Todd. A tough choice. |

This year's Tony winner, Avenue Q, is beyond fantastic. Already seen it twice this fall.
While it features fuzzy Sesame Street knock-off puppets and does not have the sophisticated charm of a traditional blockbuster musical, the show is quite possibly the most entertaining I have ever come across. It's a complete satire on life - the jests and pokes at how we act and go about in our middle-class ways are hauntingly true. It will make you seriously consider dulling the edge on your attitude - while pissing yourself because your stomach hurts from laughing too much. Great way to spend an afternoon/evening here in NYC. |
