    My drama tutor just introduced me to "Songs For A New World"

    It's bloody marvellous!

    I particularly love "Just One Step" and the song about Santa Clause.
    Anyone else love this musical?

    I go for Rodgers and Hammerstein Musicals like Sound of Music, South Pacific, Oklahoma!, Carousel, State Fair, The King and I.

    I also have a penchant for the Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Operas, though not strictly 'musicals' as such, I number them nonetheless: HMS Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, Trial by Jury, Ruddigore, Utopia Limited, The Gondoliers, Patience.

    Here is some Trial by Jury:
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FiOmiiX48I&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

    Others include: My Fair Lady, Anything Goes, Sweeney Todd, Rent, Oliver!, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and of course Bernstein's West Side Story.

    West Side Story is my favorite. (And as long as I'm on Bernstein, I really like the score to On the Waterfront.)

    I'm a big Cole Porter fan, so after WSS I'd go with Anything Goes and Kiss Me Kate.

    I like Cabaret, but I've only seen the movie, not a live show.

    I think on stage it would have to be Wicked (I absolutely love it, seen it 5 times) followed by Avenue Q and Phantom of the Opera. In terms of movies I think I would have to say My Fair Lady.
