I've seen The Lion King and Wicked. I thought The Lion King was amazing and Wicked was pretty good aswell!
Film-wise I really like RENT, it's not really that popular but it's fantastic (:

Oh we've seen loads of musicals, I really love going to see them.
From what I can remember.. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Lion King, Grease, James and the Giant Peach, The Snowman, Acorn Antiques, Blood Brothers, Mamma Mia (in Vegas :P), Beauty and the Beast (in New York :P).
I think my all-time favourite has to be Blood Brothers - the ending is simply amazing; it's so well crafted. We've got two planned within the next year - To Kill a Mockingbird and also We Will Rock You. Anyone seen either? :P

Blood Brothers is brilliant. The end is amazing I agree. I saw Wicked it the songs are very catchy as well. I remember seeing Lion King when I was younger and I thought that was good too. I don't really have a particular favourite musical tbh. All the ones I've seen are good.

We are reading to kill a mocking bird in my English + My Btec performing arts class are doing blood brothers the play. I'm auditioning next week :P
On topic LOL - I've never seen a musical in my life except the ones at my school ( we do a musical every year.) I want to see wicked and grease.

I've seen Greese, Joseph, and Blood brothers (and some I cant remember the names of) but my favourite was blood brothers :D It was amazing and the music was great!

Oh I've seen Joseph too... I have the music track for it on my MP3 :P
My favourite is RENT. Omg I love it so much. I haven't seen any done professionally but have quite a few planned for next year. I'm also going to see Scrooge this month can't wsait for that. I've been in a few shows. From the ones I've been in I've gotten to love Fame and Hello Dolly.
I always perform in musicals e.t.c, and the best I've performed in is Wicked, it's basically the story behind the Witches of Oz, e.g. Elphaba Thropp, the wicked witch of the west, and Galinda Upland, the good witch of the north. It's great! Also, it tells you how the tinman got to become the tinman, the scarecrow got to become the scarecrow, and the lion got to become so cowardly! You should watch it.

I've seen an unprofessional society put this on. It was okay,looked like a a lot of fun!
K this sounds gay but I went to see Cats the Musical with the feeling it is going to be absolutely rubbish! I came out wanting the musical soundtrack LOL!

Wicked is amazing. Although I've pretty much seen every one, that and Phantom of the opera really stand out. But, being a complete music geek (I want to BE a west-end player at some point), Oliver is the best, music wise. LOVE IT. <3

My parents have seen Cats several times. Think I might go with them to see it when it's near us again :P

I can't really get into that musical, I mean, It seems good but... not, in a way.

Yeah apparently it doesn't really have a main structure in terms of a storyline, but more about showing the audience different types of cats. Not sure if it will be my cup of tea and all, but I'd see it just to say I have :P

Blood Brothers has to be my favourite too! Have seen it about 5 times. Once in London and then it visits annually in either Cardiff or Swansea.

I don't know if it's the same actor for each performance, but the lady who played the mother when I saw it was genuinely crying at the end of it. I jumped a mile at the end too :'(

I frickin love musicals!
My favourite when I was growing up was always Joseph.
Then when I 'matured' it was Phantom. I never ever thought anything would budge Phantom from the top spot, but then ALW decided to be all amazing and stuff... and made Phantom 2. Which blew my mind. Love Never Dies is now my favourite musical.
But I love Priscilla, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror, Joseph, Cats, Wicked, Phantom, Love Never Dies, Evita, Lion King.
West End forever <3
