I like "Fiddler on the Roof" too, but "Porgy and Bess" is exquisite.
by Mr. Meaulnes on May 2nd, 2007
If we want stage musicals only here, then my choice is the 60s cult classic, Hair!
If they can also be screen musicals, then I must give my nod to the fabulous Moulin Rouge.

Little Shop Of Horrors
Hello, Dolly!
Grease
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Sound Of Music
There are many more which I enjoy, I just can't remember them at the moment.
by Anonymous on April 11th, 2009
Wicked , Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music.
Sorry, couldn't pick just one.
by randomperson on April 10th, 2009
Wicked and RENT - They are on a par!
People always scoff when I say Wicked in particular because it gets unfair criticism because it's successful, but it's lifechanging!!!
Les Mis probably comes third, and Spring Awakening is up there just behind the others - really good.
Of the obscure musicals I have the CD's for...
The Wild Party - Andrew Lippa
See What I Wanna See - Michael John LaChiusa
Tick, Tick...BOOM! - Jonathan Larson
Oh and I quite like into the Woods soundtrack!
by LaissezErik on March 7th, 2009
The Phantom of the Opera. It's really the only musical I enjoy.
by katemonster on March 7th, 2009
I'd have to say Beauty and The Beast, Rent, Grease, or Les Mis. They're all mesmerizing.
by swannie on February 2nd, 2009
Moulin Rouge!
It's just, uh, AMAZING!

Rocky Horror Picture Show, duh.
by outlaw heart on January 15th, 2008
I would say Moulin Rouge but it really isn't a musical.
The Phantom of the Opera (I know this musical word for word.)
Chicago (I also know this whole movie)
Across the Universe. this became an obsession for me when it came out I've seen it about 15 times and I love it.
West Side Story is also amazing.
Fiddler on the Roof I love love love.
ah there are so many!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
by Nuttsky on May 12th, 2007
Also there was a Frank Loesser musical called "Greenwillow" that had gorgeous, gorgeous tunes but perished after only two weeks because of some strike or other.
I tried to find sheet music for it the other evening. It's nowhere. If anybody has sheet music for "Greenwillow," please hunt me up.
There's a song called "Faraway Boy," and one called "Never Never Will I Marry," and a funny song by a clergyman containing the lyrics
What a blessing to know there's a devil
And that I'm but a pawn in his game
And though easily led
I can hold up my head
Knowing I'm not exactly
To blame.
What relief
Waht a blessed relief
That a thief is by nature
No thief
And a liar is only
An innocent buyer
Of lies
From the liar
In chief.
So of course
The remorse
May be brief.
by Nuttsky on May 12th, 2007
Porgy and Bess. gershwin. It's sublime.
by researcher for God on May 2nd, 2007

Im really fond of Caberet.
I could also say Sound of Music and Fiddler On The Roof. Not very decisive am I?
by needtoknow on July 15th, 2008
I like Hello Dolly too. I love musicals. Showboat is a great one for me, oh I don't know what is my favorite. I love musicals.. Even Man From La Mancha, I loved it... I find the older ones are better though. I almost forgot my all time favotite is Les Miserable, oh that song "Bring Him Home" by Colm Wilkinson is just so beautiful, it drives grown men to tears.
by thekingcobra63 on July 15th, 2008
Being a fan of musicals, I will give honorable mentions to 1776 and The Music Man, but the best has to be Singing in the Rain.
by Old School on July 15th, 2008
Nothing tops "My Fair Lady"
