21. "My Fair Lady" is mine, also!
It was the first real play I ever went to see, it's very sentimental to me. I also watch it on TV every time it's one. :)

Second: Les Misérables

Third: Rent

26. I could have danced all night
Though there is a constant fight in my mind with My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music fighting over the top spot in my affections.

I can sing the whole of T.S.o.M. from memory, but need the subtitles on M.F.L. to keep up.

19. Jerry Springer the musical
It was on TV on BBC2 about 10 days ago..... much controversy ensued, which as usual only served to increase the viewing figures, I watched it for the controversy at first but it was totally amazing.

29. Hair - my favorite guilty pleasure
Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy to hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini and Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one
One Claude Hooper Bukowski

I can pretty much perform the whole thing all by myself.

33. Sweeney Todd
I love this dark piece of musical theatre. Into the Woods is a close second. Urinetown would also be near the top of my list.

I'm not a big fan of big splashy shows like Phantom and Cats. I prefer quirky stuff.

34. Phantom of the Opera (Please don't flame me)
I loved the soundtrack with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. My beloved took me to see the performance in London a few years back. It was magical.

I also like Fiddler, and always wanted to play the part of Goldie someday, if only to sing the harmony on "Sabbath Prayer."
