favourite musical.

Am catching up on things I missed - so just found this one. Loved Return to the Forbidden Planet. saw Rocky Horror in Weybridge of all places, six of us in French maid's outfits with fishnet stockings and stilettos - the sight of Nicholas Parsons in fishnet stockings will stay with me for a long time!
 
Ceejache mentions West Side Story. Great film, but the best version of the music that I ever heard was by Oscar Peterson.
 
:drink:its got to be the buddy holly story,it was fantastic to see all the audience up on there feet,young and old dancing in the aisles.
 
got tickets for blood brothers in blackpool next weekend never been to a musical before but a mate of mine loves em so said id go

My favoutie screen musical is Brigadoon. I know it's ancient, but so what.

I was seven when I first saw Brigadoon. I must admit I have enjoyed it since and it's not bad at all. But I must agree with Staggeringman The Buddy Holly film must be up there among the top 10 or 15......
 
Only ever seen two stage musicals Evita along time ago and Joseph, thought Joseph was superb but ended up with a sore back through having to sit in one seat so long.
 
''Phantom of the Opera'' has to be my favourite. All of us were reduced to tears by the time we came out and were trying not to look as if we were having a good old sniffle.
 
I was reduced to tears at Phantom too. Saw it in 1990 at the Prince of Wales in London. Hope you have a great time at Blood Brothers Rockrabbit, it's hilarious in parts and very sad in other parts.
Anyone seen Starlight Express? It's coming to Manchester for a few weeks starting November and I would like to know if it's worth seeing...:)
 
thx should be good from what ive heard so far just got tickets for derek acorah as well at same place but thats in 3 weeks

Don't really like musicals, can't see why every song is sung twice. Love theatre, Blood Brothers & The Woman in White are 2 of my favourites, also saw one done by Moorhead pupils when my son was there called 'Killed', About a young World War 1 soldier shot for 'desertion', it is a true story and was very moving and extremely well acted.
