Oh dear God, I could be here a while

I suppose my 1st love would be Joseph & no not just coz Lee's in it! :D It was the 1st musicl I got the lead role in (hehe) & I've played that role 4 times since. Vocally I found it challenging but great fun at the same time. Very scary though when you're performing at the Theatre Royal-Dury Lane :D :shock:

I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of Starlight Express. Mainly for the originality of it. Roller Skates-come on!!!!

Had an obsession with Chicago for a while but......kinda gone of it now. Think I've seen it waaaaay too many times :D

I'm gonna shut up now, I'll post more of my faves later :lol:

Has to be Singing in the Rain at home - best on a cold winter afternoon with hot chocolate and a comfy armchair!!!!

At the theatre - probably Les Mis or Phantom!

I want to see Les Mis but have to work out how to avoid going back to the Adelphi instead

Ive not been to many musicals at the theatre, but my favourite so far has to be Phantom. I saw that back in Febuary, and i loved it. The songs are so moving and i just love the story. But im seeing Joseph in September so that may change my view.

I cant possibly pick a favourite film musical, there are so many, some make me cry, some happy, some great to sing along to and some just to watch. So wont even begin a list, far too long.

On stage I'd say Phantom, for the music, and Miss Saigon.
On film, I love Grease, and also Dirty Dancing :D

God, almost forgot that classic !!! I love that whole dressing up, audience participation thing. Seen the show twice live, dressed up both times and took my daughter, who was 14 then, to see it earlier this year...she loved the dressing up and singing along. Somehow though, i never seem to put in a "musical" catorgary, although it definately is....but its a one of a kind :lol:

Phantom is my obsession show, I love it so much its quite ridiculous really. I also love Les Mis. And I wish I'd seen Miss Saigon because what I've heard is pretty awesome

ah i see how isnt he first choice though do u think if lee had stayed at phantom he'd have been first choice raoul in september?

princess_rainbow · **Joined:** Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:15 pm **Posts:** 148

i dont think lee was first understudy was he?

hm wana see that actor whats his name?

Angelie · **Posted:** Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:12 pm

Lee was 1st understudy Raoul, yeah. The main Raoul (2nd in my banner), is leaving in September, so if Lee had stayed then he may well have been offered the part... ohhh that would have been gooooooood.

And the bestest Phantom ever's name is Ramin Karimloo :D

I saw Phantom when I was down to see Joseph it was amazing.
We had a theatre fest and saw Lord of the rings and Mary poppins as well.

I'm so with you on this one, as far a film musicals go. I went to see it in the cinema when I was a kid and wouldn't leave when it was finished and made my mum sit through it again at the next showing. Russ Tamblin is so cute in this and the acrobatics a great.

Haven't seem many musicals in the theatre, but the best one I have seen is Les Mis. I saw it in Paris in French which was pretty cool! I've got the feeling Joseph is going to be my all time fave!!!!!

Luv

Karen
