🎭 Weekly Topic: Favorite Musical

Arcade
1

Hi everyone! Sorry the weekly topic is a bit late this week. This week we’re getting a bit niche. I know that musicals aren’t for everyone and it’s possible that some of you have never seen a musical, but I think musicals are pretty fun. It’s always so cool to see how music can communicate so much and tell stories.

I would consider a musical to be any long performance–movie or live stage performance–that uses lyrical music numbers to advance the story. For reference, here are some musicals:

  • Lion King (on Broadway and the movie)
  • Tangled
  • Wicked (on Broadway and the movie version)
  • Hamilton
  • The Greatest Showman

So let’s chat about our favorite musicals!! I also want to preface that you don’t have to have seen a musical for you to love it. There are plenty of musical scores that I just listen to but have never actually seen the performance.

Mamma Mia is great!! It’s definitely a comfort musical for me and ABBA in a musical setting is just brilliant.

Even though I do love Mamma Mia as I just said, I think my favorite musical is Dear Evan Hansen. It has some really uplifting lyrics, some fun songs, and Ben Platt’s voice is incredible. I haven’t ever seen it, though! Not live or the movie!

P.S. this was hard for me, I really like musicals :grin:.

Best one I’ve listened to has to be The War of The Worlds by Jeff Wayne, it’s just such good music + it’s an adaptation of one of my favourite books (and I literally live where it’s set too!!!)

I don’t know any musicals (because I don’t watch TV, movies, etc. :skull:) but I really liked Anastasia’s songs when I was crew for our school’s musical one year.

LITERALLY IN THE EXACT SAME BOAT AAAAAAAAA

My favourite is Sherlock Gnomes but it’s true… I absolutely hate musicals. I would have said Hazbin Hotel but it would be because of animation bias, the animation is too good for its own good. My sisters are OBSESSED with Hamilton and won’t stop screaming about it, which is fueling the eternal, bottomless pit of hatred I have for musicals.
