I Love Musicals!
So to start out this thread, I'm going to present, for your entertainment, an original MASH-UP! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 1968.

Please to post your favorite musical moments. :)
I like musicals a lot. My favorite is South Pacific.
Great thread, IM. I could spend all day (and it would take me all day) with this. I love musicals.
I like musicals; but, I'm waiting for the I Love Manacles clone thread.
Do television show episodes turned into musicals count? I think there was Xena, Scrubs ...
The musical episode of Grey's Anatomy got a lot of criticism. But I really liked it.

I like musicals a lot. My favorite is South Pacific.
I like that one too. Love the old school musicals: My Fair Lady, Camelot, Fiddler on the Roof, Bye Bye Birdie...
I love the old stuff. I especially like Gilbert & Sullivan.
I'm listening to my soundtracks playlist right now, while I'm doing my organizing thing.
Grease (Travolta movie), Jesus Christ Superstar, Rocky Horror Picture show, Camelot (Richard Harris movie), Hair (Treat Williams movie), Great Expectations (Ethan Hawke movie), My Fair Lady (movie), Top Gun. I'd have more, but those were the only CD's that I had at the time I downloaded to my Ipod.
I've seen every film version of
Phantom Of The Opera.
Here is a clip from my favorite.
Grease, just watched that again yesterday.
My mom loved the Phantom. I got to go see that, and Les Mis, and The Lion King twice...the first time at The Ohio Theater in Columbus. My brother got tickets for me and my mom. We had no idea what was coming, this was years ago. We couldn't figure out why we were both sitting in the aisle seat (I was behind my mom.) Then it started and the animals came down the aisle and we were both crying it was so cool. God I miss my mom. :(
eta: I could watch John Travolta dance all day long.
Once More With Feeling, probably the best "musical episode of.."

That's an entire musical series, not a "musical episode of..."
I enjoyed both Grease movies. Actually, I saw Grease 2 first when it was on TV several years ago. Some of my favorite songs were Back To School, Cool Rider, Who's That Guy, and Turn Back The Hands Of Time.

I adore musicals. I was talking to Carr last night - I'm trying to get him to sing to me (with no success so far)
Being raised Catholic, pretty much the whole family will sing at the drop of a hat, because so much of Mass is sung you lose any inhibitions.
Choosing my favourite musical would be like choosing a favourite child.
But I think I like the ones which other people may not know better than the ones they do. Not out of superiority, but because they've ended up feeling like family currency.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for example. You cannot say, "Well it's been a long day" in my parents' flat without everyone present bursting into song. Or at least Mum and I.
Of the really well known ones, we all love Singin' in the Rain, but are more likely to sing "Make 'Em Laugh" than the titular song. Oh, and Donald O'Connor dances far better than Gene Kelly. Just FTR.
I grew up on opera (from Mum - because Grandad worked at Covent Garden Opera House) and Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals (Dads - he liked the tunes, I liked the lyrics).
When I was in St Anne's I often sang songs from Chess in the bath. Not one of their collaborations, but a splendeid match of Benni & Bjorn from Abba and Tim Rice. Sorry - SIR Tim Rice.
Loved Les Mis - not so much the film, but I saw it about 7 times live when it was at The Palace. Funny how your tastes change over the years. I used to hate Gavroche because he was a bratty child. But I was 16. Now I wish his full song had been in the film version.
Guys and Dolls - which I was in, in my am-dram days - has some really spanking songs. I hate hoovering, but I find it goes quite well with Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat if you really belt it out.
I can carry a tune in a bucket, but have susch a limited vocal range. Shower songs, and hoovering songs are great, because when it gets too high or too low you can just change octaves. No-one will hear or know!

The sad truth is that I am to singing, what Mozart was to skateboarding. :)
:lol2:
OFLH
One fairly loud Hah!!!
