Yeah me too....not that I can sing that many though as they are far too high.....lol....but I love the music always have since hearing the original motion picture soundtrack and watching the film when I was younger.

I still don't think there is any scene like the one with Judas in the desert followed by a tank, with the driving rock beat and guitar in Damned For All Time...that image will stay with me all my life !!

actually.. Funny Girl is in another round and there is no Gypsy on SS.
we need more musicals on this site, it's a little limited. haha.

Wow, what a bummer, i know SS use to have some Gypsy songs, aw well. Hopefully the future of SS will bring more

Jesus christ superstar is amazing. My favorite song is Heaven on their minds (movie version). One of the most powerful songs in my mind. Would love to see a contestANT go on Youtube and get the karaoke to sing in this contest. That would rock

I guess I'm the only one who never saw Jesus Christ Superstar.......not sure why really over the years.

In fact, as much as I love Musicals, there are many I have never seen..... :(

I love that song! Is JC Superstar in the planned rounds? Will I make it? LOL. If I make it to a JCS round, I'd totally do it!

By my knowledge, dancing songs are in the next round and i don't know any of the final scores yet, I'm having a feeling the new board will be posted tonight.

I'm honestly not much of an Andrew Lloyd Weber fan at all, especially Jesus Christ Superstar.
What IIIII really think we need on this site is more Sondheim. <3333
Especially.. Into The Woods.

YES YES YES, "INTO THE WOODS", COMPANY, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, AND OF COURSE SWEENEY TODD. PASSIONS WASN'T BAD EITHER

OMG YES!!!!

there are karaoke versions of all the songs on youtube.. i might just do a few of them anyway.
i was in it a few years ago, played the Baker's Wife. =)

What a great role, I almost got to play the witch 2 times in my life. Still hoping it will happen

I thought the princes were funny in Into the woods. Would love to see some guys perform some AGONY

Sondheim is in the end of it. Love him.

OMG, THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME AND LIKE KNOWONE HAS HEARD OF IT. The best scene was where Fritz poisoned the girl who was trying to sing "The Ladies Who Lunch" that was sweet.

I also went to the same college where the kid with the guitar went

Last midnight would have to be my favorite

I've "never" been to a "Live" Musical.....always wanted to, it just never happened..... :(

Soooooo.......all of my knowledge of songs comes from the Movie versions.

Sounds like all of you are "way" ahead of me on seeing "many"..... :)

haha i lovee that part! she was totally better than the other girl anyway. now i wanna sing that songggg! i'll have to look it up later tonight after i get home.

Totally agree, I thought the reason the blonde girl had all the roles was because she was a good dancer. But clearly the other girl (fritz) could out sing and act her.

The movies are just as good and alot cheaper, I can't even affort to see broadway shows anymore. most of the time the movies are better anyway. When i saw phantom of the opera onstage i was very dissapointed. I had a really bad christine and phantom. I'll watch the movie anyday.

I love Linda Eder, too! She's so awesome.

I have the RENT broadway dvd, and even though the movie has the original cast (more or less...which I prefer), I like the broadway dvd much better. I don't like how they always cut songs from the movie versions.

I don't know why they don't do more of these! They're a great way to get exposure - especially for those who can't afford it or don't live near a venue to see shows live.

I bet it's a money thing...it's always about the money. :\

And I have the Jekyll and Hyde one, granted it's with David Hasselhoff but he honestly does pretty well. I love Colleen Sexton in it (even though she'll never be better than Linda Eder.. who is basically my idol. i love her)

Okay, I need to stop. haha.. I should get ready for work or something.

Definately more broadway dvds for sure. You gotta love Linda Eder

Rent stage dvd was 10 times better than the movie. Eden espinosa is aweseom

I haven't seen Rent and only saw Hairspray (older version) once years ago......I'm a sad person....lol

Well oddly my list of musicals is REALLY short. I've never seen a broadway show. Most I've seen is in the movies but even there I've seen very few musicals unless you count Disney cartoons.

I remember Rent, Chicago (where's Both Reached For The Gun?), Hairspray, JC Superstar, the Wizard of Oz (that's a musical right?), the Producers (terrible movie IMO), I think that's about it. And I've only ever been in one high school production of Leader of the Pack. And I only played the narrator/announcer. But I'd be down to do a musical.

Back to recent point, I do like the movies and I can't really compare the two. But I agree when they cut songs it sucks. But the production values are great. I gotta say Hairspray and Chicago were awesome movies. Queen Latifah belongs on Broadway IMO. She plays here part well though both roles were a wee bit stereotypical. I'd like to see her do a more serious part. Just to see how it rolls.

Too be honest, i loved her in chicago, but not in hairspray along with michelle phifer. I felt dissapointed with both of them in the movie personally
