That's a tough one, but I'll go with 1. Les Miserables - first show I was in! 2. Phantom of the Opera - first professional show I saw (and included Anthony Warlow!) 3. Godspell - grew up listening to the soundtrack then got to perform it! Buff |

Well, my top two have to be the lovely pairing of Eureka which I saw 17 times and Wicked which I have never actually seen in full *coughs* and in third place it's Oliver! - loved the film version ever since I was 4, finally saw it on stage for my 21st...absolutely amazing experience It's been a lifelong obsession, but granted there's some bits of it I didn't care for as much as the rest - not so with Eureka and Wicked which have no skippable parts whatsoever. or sweet charity......i really wanna get home now to see it before it closes lol! Heard Christina singing I'm a Brass Band on the Today Show - so much fun! She's not the best singer in the world, but she has so much energy |

If that was directed at me, I intend to take offence  Is that similar to/based on the film Twentieth Century at all? |

Yes, it was turned into a musical in the late 70's by Cy Coleman, Adolph green and Betty Comden. It starred Madeline Khan, John Cullum, Kevin Kline and Imogene Coca.

I'd say probably...
The Secret Garden
Les Miserables
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Though, that 3rd place constantly changes.

She really is - it's a good thing she got the chance to prove it. I'll *probably* be seeing SC myself - I really want to see Janine LaManna as much as I want to see SC as a whole, as I've never seen it before and heard such good things about this production, and already know and love a few of the songs. So I was glad when the Tony noms came out as well, because from all the kerfuffle in previews, I was pretty sure SC wasn't going to last the distance |
