Musical Theatre

[Izzy H]

I went to see Grease at the West End back in October. It was fantastic, and Ray Quinn was just excellent. He got the biggest cheer.

I am hoping they put Rent back on the stage, however I believe they cancelled it when it was in London last year. I remember hearing the cast sing Seasons of Love on Children In Need back in 2007, that is what got be into watching the film and just wanting to go see the musical.

I really want to go see Wicked, Hairspray and Dirty Dancing. They are my top 3 to see.

Mum used to take me to a lot of musicals but it was such a long time ago that I can't even remember what I've seen. My earliest memory is of Les Mis, starring Rachael Beck . More recently I've seen Chicago, Priscilla, Billy Elliot, We Will Rock You, The Boy From Oz (Hugh Jackman - yay!), Mama Mia... Was Fame a musical? Because I feel like I've seen that, but I'm not even sure it exists...

I'd also like to mention Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Jesus Christ Superstar is my favourite musical, even though the only live version I've seen was at high school (same with Joseph). We had a great cast I'm still waiting for a couple of people I used to know to pop up as professional actors some day.

when you saw we will rock you did amanda harrison play oz? because she is BRILLIANT! i think she won a helpmann award for that performance. shes in wicked now as elphaba.

I've never seen Mamma Mia on stage and now I'm not sure I want to because I hate it when I've fallen in love with one version of a song and then it's sung differently but I think I will go one day.

I just love the way the movie's put together and how much fun everyone seems to be having, I bet it was the best set to be on! And Meryl Streep is just fab.

Any other enthusiasts out there or am I alone in my obsession!

Ah see i'm the opposite I saw the stage show a few years ago and absolutely loved it but was dissapointed with the film as they left some songs out and just couldn't get used to the fact Donna and Sophie are American not English but I think it's just one of those things where you usually love the one you saw the first the most

Excellent! I recently played Ursula in Sweet Charity. It's a great show and nice part - no song, which suits me!
