Your Favourite Musical

The only "musical" I've ever enjoyed was 'The Singing Detective."  Does that qualify?

 

Ground-breaking and extraordinary, over thirty years after being broadcast.  And some superb, evocative songs from the golden era of the mid 20th century.

If we're   talking stage shows there's no contest, it's got to be Bat Out Of Hell The Musical!   Seen it seven times starting with the first ever performance at Manchester Opera House.   Absolutely awesome!

I saw 'Kinky Boots' at a theatre in Times Square about 6 years back, then watched it again with an English cast at The Lyceum. Fantastic set of songs and I was please that the Yanks hadn't turned it into an American location (like they did with the High Fidelity film. Boo!).

I'd also agree that the BBC's Singing Detective is one of the best examples of choosing songs to fit a period and a plot. Majestic piece of work and just as watchable today.

Big shout-out here for the recent(ish) stage adaptations of Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.

I watched it two days ago Cressy, love it,  Reminds me of when it came out and I was a lot younger.

 

Also love Dirty Dancing, GI Blues and Blue Hawaii amongst others
