I love musicals--and this topic is just in time for tomorrow when my mother and I go to see West Side Story at the Aronoff Theater!
Oklahoma, Brigadoon, West Side Story, Annie Get Your Gun, Anything Goes--give me a Cole Porter score and I'm there, even if the staging is terrible!

I'm with Jonni; any one of them and I up for it. My top favorites, though have to be: Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, Sound of Music, and Showboat...

Oh, I just love musicals. My youngest daughter shares that love with me, too. My favorites are My Fair Lady, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, and the Sound of Music. I have many more I love to watch over and over again.

My favorite musical is The King and I--loved the movie with Yul Brynner and LOVE the music, especially the March of the Siamese Children. Also love the score from West Side Story. And I'd love to see The Phantom of the Opera...

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Love the music from CATS and Evita. 1776. The Music Man, that one is a total family favorite.

Holy wow, last night's Broadway Series production of West Side Story here in Cincinnati was great! Really, really great! Mom and I had dinner at a little Italian place across from the theater called Tratoria Roma and then walked on a 70 degree evening to the theater. Had box seats right over the orchestra and it couldn't have been better!
A few others I thought of while sitting there waiting for the action to begin--some of you know, some don't, that I was a classically trained ballerina who danced professionally for about a minute until I was seriously injured, so a lot of my friends are actually on Broadway, or dancing in companies (like the Martha Graham Company) or other classical reperatories, so I'm always up for a show. Some can be really good and some can be...ahem.
I, too, love Into the Woods
Newsies
Rent
Sunday in the Park with George (original cast with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters as Seurat's muse)
Follies
A Little Night Music (from these three, you might be able to tell I'm also a Sondheim nut)
Gypsy
My favorite stars have always been Bernadette Peters, Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin.
