I love it! 😊

Worst film ever. 

(might be slight exaggeration but it is an awful film)

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory is the best.

Agreed - Gene Wilder definitely rules on this one.

Well I still love it, but then I also love La La Land and Mamma Mia etc.

Never seen La La Land but I dislike musicals in general, exceptions being Singing in the Rain and Moulin Rouge.

I was really disappointed with Moulin Rouge, though not as bad as The Greatest Showman. lol

Cabaret IS the greatest musical of all time & I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!

Have you seen Summer Holiday???

[Homer]

Can I vote for Singing in the Rain please. Watched again on Xmas morning. Great jokes, songs and moves. The West End stage show was brilliant too.

Are we talking film musical or theatre musical?  Film wise, i’d go for Sunshine on Leith purely because i watched it just before Glastonbury 2015 and THAT acoustic set. Singin’ in the rain would be number 2 I think.

Theatre is a lot tricker as there are so many and it depends on cast, production, where you see it and who you see it with!

Watched the theatre version with Ray Quinn and it was ok but not the film version

[incident]

Surely the answer is Hedwig?

I genuinely believe that if those songs had been released as part of a standard album by a regular band, several of them could have been hits that would be considered classics today.

Same, to a much lesser and I suspect much more controversial degree applies to Josie & The Pussycats.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 

Nothing more to add.

The best west end musical I've seen would prob be Singing in the Rain, though Mamma Mia! is a very decent number two.

I think the worst would have to be We Will Rock You.

I have tickets to we will rock you when this all ends. Sure I’ll have seen worse though. You seen book of Mormons? Watched that (again) in the hippodrome just before lockdown and it’s up there. @Kalopsia needs to see the mama mia musical i feel (i think he said he hasn’t seen it on one of our meets but may have been mistaken because of drink). I loved it too but i think I’d have to go for Hairspray or Jersey Boys. Watched singing in the rain from the safety of the Circle and enjoyed that too.

Not seen it yet but had tickets and it was cancelled. I feel cheated as it looks great

Oh god. I'm still haunted by the child catcher! 😣

[funkychick2007]

Definately Priscilla the theatre production I loved don’t think I sat still all the way through!! I watched the film afterwards as hadn’t seen it before!!!

have to say I was also impressed by the theatre production of Dirty Dancing! Didn’t think they would be able to match the film but they certainly did!! The end scene had the whole place up and singing!!

For the record have not seen cabaret, hedwig or chitty chitty bang bang but sounds like a lockdown goal!
