Musical Theater Nerds Unite!!

[ArcticRain]

I know this is a long shot, but... Is anyone else on here a Musical Theater Nerd??
Musical theater is my life! Between all the acting classes, dance classes and voice lessons i have something to do every single day of the week, even Saturday! On top of all the acting, dancing and singing i am also in choir and I'm a assitaint director for an acting class with 2nd through 5th graders! This has been my normal life for five years!

So, is anyone else crazy about theater?

I envy you greatly. My biggest dream was to be a Broadway actress but it just didn't work out. Musical theater is amazing but I'm kind of sad about the way it's been heading lately. Too many movies being made into musicals, not enough original plot/original music musicals.

What's your favorite musical?

[ArcticRain]

My favorite musical would have to be Les Miserable! It's my dream to play Eponine, to perform every night and tour all over the world!
Other musicals i like include West Side Story, Music Man and Oklahoma.

I know what you mean about all the movies. I always say i was born in the wrong time period. I wish i born in the time when Bing Crosby, Shirley Jones and Julie Andrews were famous.
One of my favorite musical movie that Bing Crosby was in is White Christmas. I just love the style of music and acting that you just don't see today.

Jekyll and Hyde, and Cats.
In terms of musical movies, I can't go by the Phantom of the Opera. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a god.

[ArcticRain]

Bombalurina- I agree, I love the Phantom of the Opera movie! And yes, Andrew Lloyd Webber is most certainly a god.

ArcticRain, I totally understand. To play Eponine. I always wanted to die in Michael Ball's arms. XD My favorite musicals are Ragtime, Scarlet Pimpernel, and Spamalot. But what musical theater lover doesn't love Les Mis and Phantom? I may be in the minority but I loved the movie version of Evita.

Spiderman as a musical. *shakes head*

As far as hilariously comic musicals go, I reckon Joss Whedon does pretty well. Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog and Once More, With Feeling were both quite amazing, even though they aren't really high art. :p
