1JC Superstar/ 2? Phantom of The Opera
3 Love Never dies
4 Les miserables
5 Frankwildhorn Dracula
I can’t think of any others

 

[Limoncello4021]

I’m still a sucker for The Music Man.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

My favorite is probably The Music Man. With 1776 a close second (can’t believe I forgot that one in my initial post)

Others I like, in no particular order:

• West Side Story
• Brigadoon
• The Sound of Music
• Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

That Japanese one about the lawyer…
I don’t really know anything else.

 

[TheLittleLady]

Fiddler on the Roof
You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown
R & H Cinderella (the original, not the re-make)
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Little Shop of Horrors
American Idiot

 

[Tis_Bearself]

R & H Cinderella (the original, not the re-make)

I forgot about that one. Loved it as a child. Didn’t realize till many years later that the Prince resurfaced as Alan Quartermaine on “General Hospital” in its heyday.

 

[BartholomewB]

1. The Blues Brothers
2. Jesus Christ Superstar
3. Singin’ in the Rain

plus the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers musicals in general.

 

[Limoncello4021]

Funny, I’ve never thought of The Blues Brothers as a musical. I love that film! Made in my hometown.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

Yeah, there are a bunch of films with music that I don’t think of as “musicals” per se, like the original John Waters version of “Hairspray” (which started as a film with music in it and got made into a “musical” later), and Prince’s “Purple Rain”. I didn’t count those.

 

[TheLittleLady]

like the original John Waters version of “Hairspray”

A bajillion times better than the remake film OR the stage musical!

 

[Greenfields]

I like The King and I

 

[DisorientingSneeze]

South Pacific
Sound of Music
Mary Poppins
Little Shop of Horrors
Grease
Moulin Rouge

One that I’m going to try and sneak into the category because it is my top 3 favorite movies: Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

 

[jesucated]

If we’re talking stage musicals, then my two favorite have to be Les Miserables and Hamilton.

 

[TheLittleLady]

South Pacific

How could I forget this one? (While Mandy Patinkin is my favorite cover of this, there is something about hearing it from the composers)

Also to add, Pirates of Penzance AND Hamilton!!!

 

[lilypadrees]

The Sound Of Music
The King & I
Jesus Christ Superstar (the original not the one with John Legend)
Fiddler On The Roof
The Rocky Horror Show (my naughty pleasure)
Hair

 

[0Scarlett_nidiyilii]

A toss between
The King and I
and
Brigadoon

 

[catholicMO]

Les Mis
Jekyll and Hyde (the gothic version)
The Phantom of the Opera

Not ordered by favoritism…they are all pretty much #1

 

[7_Sorrows]

The Sound of Music
My Fair Lady
Bye Bye Birdie!

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

Rossini’s Stabat Mater. Pon Pon is a close second, but not really.

 

[TheAmazingGrace]

Sweeney Todd.
