Im just back from London, a 3 day school trip.

We shopped, we ate, we rode the london eye, we had performance workshops. WE SAW THREE MUSICALS.

Mama mia= Really fun and lively

Hairspray= OMG MICHEAL BALL, COLOURFUL AMAZING

Billy Eliot= IVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO EXCELLENT IN MY LIFE, ITS AMAZING AND ITS A MUST SEE WESTEND MUSICAL.

Any others have opinions on musicals ? (Westend and/or films)

Wicked= also fantastic

I thought this deserved a thread as it rocked.

I went on a trip to London last year with my school. We went to see les miserables which was VERY good. It did drag on a little bit towards the end, but that's probably because that was the first time I've sat through a 2hr+ performance. The music was definitely my favourite thing about it because it was so powerful and great to listen to.

I also went on another trip to London last year and we went to see Blood Brothers, but that one wasn't in the west end. It was still very good, and I liked how it had some humour in it as well.

Les Miserables is just an amazing story. I really want to see it live, but I haven't had the chance. I'm jealous!

I haven't seen Wicked, but I've heard the soundtrack numerous times. It has fantastic lyrics. I saw the movie Hairspray and liked it a lot.

I was in Annie, Fiddler on the Roof, and Oklahoma. Oklahoma isn't really that great, but it was pretty much the first musical ever, so I guess it's historically significant. Annie and Fiddler are both pretty good, although the movie version of Annie is kind of atrocious.

I've seen quite a few West End Musicals over the years.

The last one I saw was 'We will rock you', it was brilliant, with great audience participation, clapping along to Queen's legendary songs!

@matthew
HAHA, "You shall not pass" is like... part of my daily life. I use that quote in everyday conversation.

As for musicals, I've only seen a few, but I LOVE them. The Music Man is one of mah favorites. ^^

Woo!! I've seen that too! Really stunning effects and songs...the only thing that annoyed me was their insistence on giving every hobbit a fake west country accent..oh well
