Ailaena Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) A clockwork Orange. Fine, it’s not a musical, I guess, but a great soundtrack. The magic flute! You’re right, not a musical. Hair!! eta: Evil Dead, the musical! Edited March 10, 2022 by Ailaena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I admit it...I love the Annie soundtrack with Aileen Quinn as Annie. Not every day, you know, but once in a while it does me good to belt out, "The sun will come out, tomorrow..." ☀️ The Sound of Music, of course. "Do, a deer, a female deer..." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hamilton, Sound of Music Child of the 70's here - I know every word to every song in Jesus Christ Superstar, Oliver, and Fiddler on the Roof and can torment with them at will/when required. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hamilton The Book of Mormon Come From Away Mamma Mia Les Mis Phantom of the Opera Camelot West Side Story Fiddler on the Roof Before we moved to Florida we lived in NJ about 15 minutes from NYC. My mother and her friends used to go to Broadway plays often back when they were affordable. Musicals were her favorite. The oldest ones on my list (the last three) are there because she bought the soundtrack albums and I grew up listening to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Sound of Music Oliver Lion King Les Mis Mary Poppins Greatest Showman (is this a musical or just a movie?) I enjoy watching Hamilton, but don’t find it sing-along-y. Lots of shows have a couple of standout songs while the others are just good. What does the Hive think of Dear Evan Hansen and Hadestown? We will likely see the latter this fall. Edited March 11, 2022 by ScoutTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Once More With Feeling (musical espisode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) I listen to it anytime I'm angry cleaning, which has been a lot recently. @ScoutTNWe just saw Hadestown a few weeks ago. I liked the music a lot, minus one song which sounded like nails on a chalkboard to me. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbard Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The Secret Garden musical is a nice one (Marsha Norman), with some good songs. Paris by Jon English, might be hard for you guys to find as it was an Australian/UK effort, but a brilliant rock opera about the Trojan war. War of the Worlds (Jeff Wayne), it's really exciting.

Ali in OR Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I worked on a college dorm production of The Fantasticks, so I like to sing those songs. I don't know the titles, but I sing When the Moon Was Young and Hear How the Wind Begins to Whisper to my disabled dd (no one appreciates my singing like she does!) I can also do a bit of Sound of Music (Edelweiss and 16 going on 17). I've had a bit of Jesus Christ Superstar going through my head so far this Lent. I like the older stuff best I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Rock of ages!! I love many of the ones mentioned but this is one of my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I listened to the 1957 original Broadway cast recording of West Side Story for the first time last night. Really good. Always liked the original WSS film and we re-watched it recently. And we also streamed Spielberg's new one this week, which I think is spectacular. Also Jesus Christ Superstar (I prefer the Original Concept Album cast). When I was a kid my maternal grandmother, who knew I liked listening to music, gave me the soundtrack recording of Oklahoma!, which she loved. I must admit when I opened the present my heart sunk. Not my thing. But I owned it and played it, and I came around. Bill 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabercro Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I like a lot of the ones listed here, but Mean Girls is the one show where I like every song from beginning to end almost equally. It’s not necessarily my all time favorite show (though it is really good and funny) but it’s my go-to for cleaning and driving since I don’t feel the need to skip songs.

teachermom2834 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 My dd and I listen on long drives and we have mostly listened to ones we’ve seen over the last couple years: Joseph Finding Neverland Cats Godspell Jesus Christ Superstar Newsies (I don’t know why this one is my favorite. It is stupid how much I love this show. I can’t even explain it.) Hamilton (we only saw the recording on Disney+ but we have tickets for July so we’ll be playing this one more and more). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the pro shot version is so well done, I feel like I 'know' the show better than a lot of others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Haven’t see it mentioned yet - Miss Saigon is one of my favorite soundtracks. Also one of my favorite shows, possibly because it was one of my first trips to Broadway and I had no idea how much I was about to be impacted. I have a special fondness for The Lion King because my kids were in what I consider a TERRIFIC production for our little co-op. Still don’t know how they pulled it off with our small group. But I hate the live action soundtrack. Rock of Ages gets a lot of play here. It was better in person. I don’t listen to the American Idiot soundtrack as much as the album, but I deeply regret not getting to see the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Hopper Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Gosh, it depends on my mood. So I rotate. Les Mis & Phantom for the drama Godspell for inspiration (this is one of my favorite full shows) Dear Evan Hansen for the feels Hairspray and Come From Away for fun Hamilton for energy Hadestown for a change of pace I think West Side Story has beautiful music, but the story is overwhelmingly sad to me, the tragedy overwhelms me. Now if you are including movie soundtracks I’ll have to think a lot harder. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it will come to Orlando once Broadway tours start up again. An aside - A high school graduation present from my mother was a cassette tape player (they were new and exciting!). Along with the player was my first cassette tape ever - Carole King's Tapestry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I mostly like the musicals I was in as a kid or that my kids have been in. Otherwise I don't care too much about musicals. Anne of Green Gables Brigadoon Oliver Aladdin (Broadway version) Spamalot (Love this one!!) I will sing a few songs from musicals but watching the entire show is out 😉 Jesus Christ Superstar Les Mis Chess Edited March 12, 2022 by wintermom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
