A slightly embarrassing fact about myself is that I used to be a theatre buff. In fact, I was in a musical continually from 8th-11th grade. It's funny looking back and remembering how I dreamed of going on to Broadway and making it "big." Anyway, I still have a strong love for the music and love how emotional it all is. I saw that the new Center Point Legacy Theatre in Centerville, Ut is about to start a production of
Civil War and I am desperately wanting to go. This is seriously a favorite of mine.
Civil War and I am desperately wanting to go. This is seriously a favorite of mine.
watch this
but here is flexible list of my all time favorite musicals
1. The Light in the Piazza *sigh* the most beautiful love story in the world that shows the healing strength that comes from love.
2. A Christmas Carol *tear* I was in the musical I think like 3 times and I loved singing about forgiveness and change. Soooo amazing!
3. Jane Eyre
The music is soooo haunting and absolutely moving.
4. Les Miserables *no need for an explanation there*
5. Civil War *the most moving display of sacrifice
6. The Last 5 Years *note: I have never seen this production and it seems to be a tad racy, but the music is incredible.
7. Wicked *cliche, I know
8. The Secret Garden *Lily's Eyes: could there be a more beautiful song? I think not.
9. The Sound of Music *makes you feel better every time you are sick, without fail
10. West Side Story *absolutely stunning.
A million more are flooding my mind, but I really do think that these are my toppers.
Favorite songs that I have sung:
Someone else's story: chess
With One Look: Sunset Boulevard
I still Believe: Miss Saigon
Mamma I'm a Big Girl Now: Hairspray
I'm Still hurting: Last five years
All I ask of you: Phantom of the Opera
My Bill: Civil War
Forgiveness: Jane Eyre
Just a place called home: Christmas Carol
Defying Gravity: Wicked *this was probably the scariest performance of my life. President Eyring was sitting on the 2nd row of the auditorium and I had basically given up singing and was pretty rusty. An extremely unforgettable, exhilarating moment.

So I thought I loved musicals but I haven't heard of most of these. That's so fun. Don't be embarrassed that you love musicals. There's no reason for it. : )
Totes agree with you on number one
