Favorite Musical(Livetheater not film)

My hair like Jesus wore it Hallelujah I adore it
 Hallelujah Mary loved her son Why don't my mother love me?
 Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
 Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair!

Cats and Phantom are two other great ones.

Cannibal?

I'm not a cultured person that's ever been to the theater for a play


I have to go with This is Spinal Tap

Cats and Phantom are two other great ones

Hate loyd Webber post Evita. Most of his stuff is bubble gum. Should have stayed with Tim Rice.

My vote is for anything involving serving those who anger you as food for hungry vagrants.

I go Les Miz and Phantom, but I'm old school like that.  

Big fan of Rent.... first musical I ever saw on Broadway. Love Wicked... ruined the Wizard of Oz for me. I'm also positive once I see Book of Mormon it'll be my favorite

Haven't seen The Book of Mormon, but have seen everything else on here.  A couple of them several times.  Hair is great, if it has a director who doesn't pu$$y out.  I've seen it 3 times.  But one production cut the nudity, cut Berger/Claude Bukowski kissing, and some of the other really sexualized stuff.  When it was over, the audience booed the director for his "stylistic choices".  

I really hated Evita.  

In my 20's I met a chick with a tattoo based on "The Origin of Love" from  Hedwig and the Angry Inch.  Within 20 minutes of talking to her, she had slapped me twice.  Once for making fun of her "unique" tattoo.  And once for asking if she was a dude, when she asked me back to her place.  She wasn't.  We dated for 6 months.  






 

   

Coach_This! thats some great shiet you posted. Hahah.

And yeah Hair if done harcore is mezmerising. Dont bother staging it if you can't handle the content.

Somebody actualy downloaded the entire Book Odf Mormon on youtube. A pirated version of course. It has been taken down twice. Funny show. Beleive it not alot of Mormons like it. they take adds for their church in the playbill.

I would just like to say that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Of appearance are nothing more
Than the male's emergence from his drab camoflage
Into the gaudy plumage
Which is the birthright of his sex
There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the male
When aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac-tu
ally
That is the way things are in most species

When I was a kid I saw Hair in theaters like five times.  I think I might have been in the womb when my dad took my mom to see it on Broadway.  My grandfather owned a hip beauty parlor.  I know Hair.  
 

Wow

I just saw Bye Bye Birdie not too long ago with the girlfriend.  Much better than I thought it was going to be.

Bops, I also saw it with my parents the first time.  I was hooked.  


And Francis, that's absolutely true about the content.  I don't know why people shy away from it, but they do.  The movie did the same thing.


Speaking of racy content: Spring Awakening ... any good?  Or just rehashing stuff that other people already did, and passing it off as "new" and "edgy"?    

Yeah the movie of Hair was nothing like thes stage show at all. I was surprised how nothing was the same. Hair had me feeling the era and you get a rush from alot of the numbers. Pretty liberating.

I saw the Original Broadway cast of RENT about 4 months after it opened at the Nederlander in NY. Electrifying. Again the movie version was weak just as i thought it would be,

Muicals work on stgae because they deliver a fantasy setting instead of a real wolrd and the result is you get pulled in and accept that they are communicating through music. On film they always distract you with big sets. reality settings that brake the spell and make it awkward that they are singing. Also too much mildly sung songs where they talk sing more then belt. Usualy can barely here the orchestra as well. Not to mention they always cast people who cant sing. Whats the point of doing a musical and hiding and muting the music?

The stage is something once you start going you get hooked. People that don't go usualy have bad film versions as their only exposure so they have little concept of how good these shows are on stage.

Les Miserables was the first big show i saw back in 1987. Epic show. Saw some seens from the movie and it looks terrible. I wont bother. Learned my lesson.

Candidate for worst thread of the year. Congrats Jerry.

You're right, Neo.  Musicals are gay.  But in college, I was in Grease, and I can't think of a single time where I had more fun or got more pu55y.  Course I was playing a T-bird and didn't have to wear spandex, so that helped.  Plus, the married director was living vicariously through my exploits, so he wingmanned me whenever he could with the hottest dance partners, moves, etc.  When I see the old man these days he still makes me buy him a beer and I buy him the best.

No way nedonuts. Live stage rocks. Your screename however.......

Nothing against theatre whatsoever Drake. I actually saw Les Mis at The Curran in San Francisco last year...the actors were extremely talented but that ish was depressing as hell man.

...that being said this is still top 10 worst threads of the short year.
