I don’t know how many musical lovers we have but as I can’t do links I hope those who appreciate this form of entertainment can.

That was based on you DA wasn’t it?

I have, but doubtful Rogers and Hammerstein would have approved of my rendition of NO NAY NEVER...

You got it , I was called the Shirley Bassey of my time

Guys and Dolls. To see Marlon Brando singing and dancing is something else.

Not really my thing but took Mrs W to see “Hairspray” in Liverpool and it was a lot better than I expected.

It had Les Dennis and Michael Starke (Sinbad from Brookside) and for one scene they had to restart as they both got a fit of giggles and couldn’t stop.

I still find myself tapping my feet when I hear the songs being played now

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 11:08 pm

No got it wrong , it was Easy Rider. Close enough though

Speaking of Shirley Bassey, and I know it’s not from a musical, but just how good a song is “diamonds are forever”?

She was on my table , but it’s hard for a man to live with a successful woman I understand that now

Rent is very good.
Spamalot for the win though.

nil_desperandum · Post by **nil_desperandum** » Sat Feb 27, 2021 11:03 am

For me they have to have a good "book" / storyline /script, so:
West Side Story
Fiddler on the Roof
and Cabaret
Chicago is also superb though.

Strange one, but - love music, can't be doing with Musicals.

I suppose Quadrophenia was ok.

I hate musicals, and really detest show tunes, but Anne Hathaway’s acting as Fantine while singing in Miserable Les was amazing

Isn't it a retelling of Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly"

Like "Rent" is of the opera La Boheme
