I have to say the Lion King is truly amazing to see. Not sure what my favourite is though, Barnum with Michael Crawford was brilliant, The King and I with Yul Bryner was so very special.... okay i give in, i cant choose a favourite i've loved all the ones i've seen.

I love G & S...
Pirates of Penzance is awesome live. And recorded for that matter. That said, I can never resist My Fair Lady. |

I saw him in that at the Empire! I really enjoyed it too! I was closer to crying at that than I was for Miss Saigon!!! Strange, I was just thinking about posting this topic last night in bed!  Seen Whistle Down the Wind twice, really love that! Blood Brothers was great, me and Mam liked "Tell Me its not true before" we saw it and when we realised it was in Blood Brothers we knew we'd be in tears by the end! Waiting to see Beauty and the Beast later this month, and to get booked for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!!! [IMG]  [/IMG] This is the original car from the movie at the Sunderland airshow in July

Miss Saigon - without a doubt one of the most emotional musicals i have ever seen. have seen it far too many times
 and have yet to see anyone manage to not start crying when Kim sings The Sacred Bird and then shoots herself with his gun  Les Miserables is also a bloody good show - plenty of powerful songs. I'm quite in to rock and roll muisic so things like Buddy and "three steps to heaven" also rank fairly highly with me. My current list of things to see are Woman in White, Phantom (preferably with Crawford but that ain;t gonna happen!), Tanz Der Vampires (preferably the german version) and the newish Elvis musical (can't remember the name!) And I seem to recall a chappie on here is waiting for me to win the lotto so i can fund his meat-inspired musical!!

Just seen Needmoremeat's post and it reminded me of Blood Brothers!
Fantastic!!!! When I saw it I was at the Alhambra in Bradford and when we left at nearly midnight, the little church tower behind the theatre was playing "Tell Me It's Not True" on the bells. Everyone was just stood in the middle of the road listening to it again!! |

Forgot to mention Jesus Christ Superstar and Starlight Express!
Love the song "Rolling Stock" from Starlight. The actor who played Jesus I'd seen him in the first Messiah series only a couple of weeks beforehand on UKGold! I had to prevent myself from laughing when Jesus came out on stage to a really cool electric guitar riff! Loved that bit! While I was watching it I thought it could do witha little humour, but when it came in the form of Herod, I thought it had came at the wrong time.  During the crucifixion scene there was not a sound in the auditorium for ages, simply awesome.Also, liked it in blood Brothers when the disco ball comes down at the beginning and it reflects around the whole auditorium, it was beautiful!
