Ooh, Tim Tams. I like Jersey Boys and Miss Saigon.

I'd love to see LES MISERABLES up on stage - my favourite by far. FIDDLER ON THE ROOF would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteWest Side Story!
ReplyDeleteI love West Side Story as well.
ReplyDeleteI have two favorite musicals -- Jersey Boys and Chicago!
ReplyDeleteThe Phantom of the Opera and The Sound of Music. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun pics! Definitely jealous as it looks like you had a blast :)
ReplyDeleteThe last musical I saw was Wicked. It was fantastic!!!
Mmm, tim tams are good. Aussie friend of mine did give me some for a belated birthday pressie.
ReplyDeleteNever seen any musicals but I read the book and have the soundtrack of Phantom of the Opera.
No need to enter me to win a book (I got so many new ones at RT!!), but I just wanted to say that I loved "The Phantom of the Opera" and I'm also a big fan of Tim Tams ;).
ReplyDeletemy favorite is also West Side Story.
ReplyDeleteThe last musical I saw was a production of The Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. It was spectacular. I did see the opera La Traviata when I went to Venice. It was a bare bones production but the singing was fabulous.

Wow I am sorry I missed all the fun, Someday Kim I will get to go too.....
ReplyDeleteMusical are my all time favorites to see Live & on TV.
LES MISERABLES has to be my all time favorite followed by mama mia phantom of the opera up there too 7 bride for 7 brothers there are too many to name.
Love Tim Tams.... now I have cravings....
Have a good one Ann/alba
Have never seen a Broadway musical.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first Broadway musical I actually saw ON Broadway--Woman of the Year, with Lauren Bacall. For touring shows and the like, I'll choose Monty Python's Spamalot. It is Hilarious. I've never laughed so hard or so much.
ReplyDeleteIt would definitely be phantom of the opera.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit that I have never been really interested in Broadway musicals. Have heard of some really goods one though.

Kim -
ReplyDeleteNext year you'll have to take your movie camera so you can send us a live feed! I loved the pictures and it looks like a great time was had by all!
When you mention favorite musical I immediately think of Man of la Mancha based on Cervantes Don Quixote! My husband save the movie and also the musical at a summer theatre and we loved the song The Impossible Dream so much we had it played for "our" dance at our wedding reception way back in1970! After all these years it's still "our song"!
PS: Man of la Mancha by Cervantes was first "romance" book I ever read!
I liked the ones I've seen. I don't have a favourite.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had so much fun, those are great pictures. I would choose All That Jazz as my favorite Broadway musical, although I like Chicago as well.

That's a hard one - I saw Phantom twice and Jesus Christ Superstar twice because I liked them both so much. I also enjoyed Lion King, The King and I and West Side Story.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! It was lovely to meet you and all the other wonderful ladies at RT this year. And would you believe it - I've never seen a Broadway show! I'm not really a musicals kind of gal, so I'm not lamenting it too much, but I will admit that Wicked looks pretty great. Maybe next time I'm in NYC I'll take the plunge :-)
ReplyDeletePS- I loved that flapper costume! I may have to start wearing it to the grocery store and dental appointments just to keep life interesting, lol
So THAT is what Tim-Tams are...they must be wonderful?
ReplyDeleteAhhh great pics, sounds like a good night of entertainment.
I have always loved The Phantom of the Opera, book format. Though the movie with Emma Rossum (don't know how to spell her name) was very good, could be because of that sexy Phantom...too bad he didn't have a kilt on too.
The last musical I saw - and not on Broadway - was many, many years ago. It was Cats and I loved it.
ReplyDeletePhantom of the Opera
ReplyDeleteLove phantom the opera in sf , great

I too like the Phantom of the Opera, seen it with Gerard Butler so :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! The pictures are so awesome! Everyone looks to be having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteI loved Phantom of the Opera!

It looks like you had so much fun. I would say Phantom of the Opera is my favorite although I also like 42nd Street.
ReplyDeleteDespite only living 2 hours from NYC most of my life, I am ashamed to say that I have never been to a Broadway Musical. Although, I think that I would like The Lion King the best. Thank you for the fun pics! And for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a broadway show but I love music and I have seen All The Jazz and Chicago on tv and loved both. Also Grease is a big favorite and Sound of Music. I have seen all four of these at local Little Theather and were very good.

OMG...I am such a musical lover. My favorites are probably My Fair Lady, Camelot, or West Side Story. But I'm also crazy for Guys & Dolls--it ends with a double wedding, what's not to like?
ReplyDeleteI saw the play Hair and loved it. That is one of the only ones I have seen. I loved the movie Rent and would have loved to have seen the play. Cats would have been another cool one. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeletechristinebails@yahoo.com
I have never seen a Broadway musical. Would love to some day! I'm not sure what I would like to see, they all would be great!
ReplyDeleteI'll go with either Phantom of The Opera or All that Jazz.
ReplyDeleteYour pics are great Kim. I have to try some Tim Tams. They look so good. :)
