I love the Sound of Music (the hills are alive with the sound of music)

 

[PuppyforChrist]

Annie is my favorite. That and the Sound of Music. Fiddler on the Roof is pretty good too.

I was in one 10 years ago as part of the choir for a national production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Australia (ah, the days when I could sing!) I loved The Phantom of the Opera and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but don't really have a favourite character as such.

 

[AngelAmidala]

I love musicals....so many to choose from.

If I had to pick a favorite character from one though, I love the Witch in "Into The Woods"...though that's mostly because it was a role originated by Bernadette Peters...who I think is awesome.

Musicals are great! My fav is probably Fiddler on the Roof.

Les Miserables is the all time best musical, I have all the lines memorized...I always envisioned myself as Eponine, but my voice is just not what it used to be...
If i was a man though I would dream of playing Javert though, just for that one note, his suicide note, the one he sings as he jumps to his death, the most beautifully horrific note ever.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

Yes, Fiddler on the Roof is also a Fantastic Musical... but so is Jesus Christ Superstar mind you, that has some fantastic songs in it. im off to see Les Mis soon... im sure i will enjoy it greatly! heh heh.

 

[Lexi]

I love musicals! I don't think I've ever come across one that I don't like. I LOVE Into The Woods. And Grease and Fiddler and... I could just go on and on!

 

[Miss Mayberry]

My favorite character that I've portrayed in a musical would be Louisa from The Sound of Music.
My favorite of all time is Les Miserables...though I can't pick a favorite character.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

I think everyone has a favourite musical, another good one is My Fair Lady. And BIG.... heh heh, i could talk forever on musicals.... and those are just the well known ones!

 

[Slina]

Beauty and the Beast is a cool one too. And Hello Dolly. Those are 2 of my favorites. I love musicals!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

almost forgot about them!

 

[Slina]

Alright, I've only seen the movie of Hello Dolly which is different, and I have the soundtrack to the broadway version, but I really want to see it. Have you read the script for The Matchmaker?

 

[Marinville288]

My favorite musical is one I'm starring in now - Little Shop of Horrors!! Another top-notch musical that's high on my favorites list is Mamma Mia!. I've seen it 5 times in 4 different cities. Even cooler - I'm going to see Little Shop on BROADWAY in NYC this June - my first Broadway musical!!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

my first Broadway Musical was Cats, (London West End). that was amazing!!!

God Bless

My mom used to think it was weird that as a young child I was mesmerized by movie musicals. I think I discovered "Oklahoma" in 2nd grade, and "My Fair Lady" shortly thereafter. Yes, it grew into quite an obsession for many years!

My all time favorite composer is Stephen Sondheim (with Bernstein running a close second)! My favorite musical is Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park With George."

My favorite role I've played is Hodel in "Fiddler," and the roles I would most like to play are The Baker's Wife in "Into the Woods," and Ado Annie in "Oklahoma." Oh, and Fantine in "Les Mis."
