Best Andrew Lloyd Webber show

[Paddington]

Definitely Phantom of the Opera, though Sunset Boulevard is a close second.

I like POTO but basically only for the music and ive heard many JCS clips and songs and it sounds grat and im going to see it this Nov.! I also like Evita and like someone said if you get to much u get sick of it thats whats happening to me so does anyone know of any non Webber good musicals?

 

[ttreg]

and one thing is its hard for me to get into the story because the music distracts me sometimes ill be like "man that was a great song!..........but why was he singing it?" idk i guess i only like the music..............

 

[Paddington]

Good non-Webber musicals? There's loads! Boubil and Schonbourg are really good, they did Les Miserable and Miss Saigon (And Martin Guerre, that's not on anymore but the CD is well worth a listen!)
Jekyl and Hyde is really good, as are Sound of Music, Carousel, The Producers....

 

[Menuet]

I love Phantom of the Opera so hands down there!

Evita

Joseph...but I'm biased, I was in it...if I'm in another one of his, I'll probably like it best, too...

Love Phantom. Love Whistle Down the Wind!

I love Cats-The dancing is phenominal

Ok this post is old, but I love Phantom so I am going to put my 2 cents in anyway! Lol.

I also like Evita, which I hear is playing in London? (Unfortunately, as I am on the other side of the Atlantic, I have no way of getting there. )

His music is cheesy, but it's great to listen to when you just want to relax and don't require anything too complicated!

Yep Evita's in London at the moment and the new cast is incredible

Oh I wish I could see it. Any projections as to how long it will be on? Maybe if I scrimped and saved this year we could go on a little trip next year.

(A relative of mine loved Sunset Blvd so much that he flew to London just to see it and took the next flight back!!! :-o He also saw it close in NY too.)

I'm not sure how long it'll be on.. if it's really popular it'll keep going for a bit! It looks that way at the moment. I've got to say it's not my favourite and I'd much rather he'd brought back Sunset Blvd!

I enjoyed Sunset very much!! It is one of his best!

Definitely, probably my 2nd favourite after Phantom! What's your favourite song from it? I have to have two - 'Too Much in Love to Care' and 'Sunset Boulevard'.

My favorite would have to be "With One Look"

What is your fav from Phantom (which is #1 in my book! )?

That's a great song too, I adore Glenn Close's version

Phantom... thats a tricky one because in my opinion all the music is amazing and I like songs for different reasons!
Phantom of the Opera is obviously brilliant and possibly the best theme ever.
Music of the Night is gorgeous and so calming to listen to!
All I Ask of You is one of the nicest love songs ever!
and.. The Point of No Return is so different and amazingly sung.

Ok so that's a cop-out What about you?

I do love the title song.

Music of the Night was my wedding song.

I read an article once about a philanthropist who adored the play so much that he had a theme wedding. He got someone to make the same wedding dress for his bride as Christine's in the play. He even wore the mask.

Personally, that is what I wanted for our wedding....
but funny how no one would listen to me. Lol!

Haha yeh in a way I think I'd really like that... but it would be weird Christin's dresses are gorgeous. I love the Phantom. I know he's psychologically disturbed, but there's something about a man in a mask Have you seen the film with Gerard Butler?

But he is so sensitive and just wanted to be loved. It makes you able to forgive all the murders. Lol!

Yes I saw the move. I have a love/....dislike....relationship with the movie. I love the lush filming in Paris. Emmy Rossum was fabulous for the role and the guy who played Raoul was also very good.
I really liked Gerard Butler's acting....but....he couldn't really sing. And isn't that the whole point, after all? Every time he sings I tune out and pretend it's Michael Crawford.

What did you think of the way the movie ended? I kinda liked their take on it, actually.
