In a theatre, High Society at the old Vic.
Movie. Grease 2 and i don't care what anybody thinks, it's a masterpiece in cheesy brilliance.

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

The Student Prince

 

[mosssideblue]

Mary Poppins

 

[the blue panther]

Blood Brothers is superb

 

[bluwes]

It won’t be for everyone but for me, it is outstanding and tells a sad story beautifully.

I’ll have that, seen it 3 times.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Blood Brothers and Chess

Little shop of horrors.

 

[Beswick Prize Bands Big Drum]

Singing in the Rain.

 

[NPBlue]

None.

Musicals are shit, and I've thought that since I was about 5 years old.

I'm 64 now, and I've always detested them.

At the theatre: Hamilton.

I can’t imagine anyone who answers any other way has seen Hamilton.

I’m not the biggest fan of the art form, but there plenty one can enjoy as entertaining. I liked “Into The Woods” and “Book of Mormon” and “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” and some others.

But no other musical will be seen as having made an important, meaningful contribution to western culture, other than maybe West Side Story.

It’s seriously not even close.
