This is the version I really want to see. XD I've currently seen neither, but I would so prefer to see the original before I see the lolTim Burton remake. XD Is there a live recording of that version somewhere?

Les Miserables is the greatest musical in the world! at least, IMO <3
The Phantom of the Opera, but stay away from the sequel. the sequel=blech.
Wicked

I didn't think there was a Phantom of the Opera sequel, just a million remakes.

I've no idea...I was lucky enough to watch it in class in 7th grade...well, I guess that means there must be a recording. Thinking back...I seem to remember that maybe it was a PBS special?

THere is- I've seen it on Amazon. My library has the dvd version of it, too, which is how I saw it.

There is one that came out last year in the UK or something like that but I heard it's awful. Even if ALW did it and it is an official sequel, I heard it butchered everything including the characters so I have no interest in it. Also likely that it'll never come to the US so yeah.

Just watched the 1997 Disney production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella. It's pretty good. My only objection is... well, it's Cinderella. They "fall in love" knowing nothing about each other. But other than that, it's fantastic. Especially the 1997. It has Bernadette Peters in it, so you know at least one performance is going to be delightful.

Dude, you should watch the Julie Andrews version. It has lines that were cut from later movies, and I remember it being so much funnier. XD Also it's Julie Andrews, so yeah. XD

This post serves two purposes:

One, to bump the thread. Two, to encourage people to watch:
The Muppet Christmas Carol

This is not only one of my favorite musicals, but it is also one of my favorite Christmas movies. What better time to watch a Christmas movie than in the next few weeks?

^ Own it! And am so totally watching it this coming weekend.

"We're Marley and Marley, whooooaaa!"

I really don't like musicals; I find them almost impossible to take seriously and get very bored with them very fast (when I was younger, I would often fast-forward through the songs in a musical so I could get to the normal story parts - my favorite song to fast-forward through was Truly's "Oh what a lovely, lonely man" song in Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, where she's just lolling around in her garden and swinging). A few exceptions:

The Sound of Music (favorite song: the version of "The Sound of Music" the children sing to the Baroness)

Mary Poppins (favorite song: "Supercallifragilistickexpialidocious", or however you spell it)

The Wizard of Oz (favorite song: "Over the Rainbow")

Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang (favorite song: "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang", especially the first time they sing it)

Do the old animated Disney classics count? 'Cause I really like the way Disney used to tell their stories with the songs, and some of the songs had really clever lyrics (I love "Under the Sea" even though I don't care for The Little Mermaid at all). That first song that plays in Beauty and the Beast has an especially musical feel, I think.
