I like musicals when they're more artistic. Think Moulin Rouge or Sweeny Todd. I'm not a fan of musicals where the music is more pop-influenced.

Love them! My favourites include 'A Chorus Line', 'Cats', and 'Cabaret' (er, no, beginning with a C isn't compulsory!) and though it's a bit naughty I also like Avenue Q!

I really love musicals, my mom is a musician and whenever a musical is released we go watch it together. The last one I saw was '' the greatest showman'' featuring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya.

Yes! The Greatest Showman is amazing! I even bought the soundtrack! Very emotional film and Hugh Jackmans voice is divine 😂

No, I am not into Musicals and then... "Rock of Ages" was released and even with Tom Cruise singing, I loved it.

Every person should get to experience at least one musical in their lifetime! For my first musical, my mother and I saw “Wicked” in New York! Awesome show!

I love a musical. Both modern and classics. Wicked has to be my favourite stage show musical. Movie would either be calamity Jane, lala land and singing in the rain. 😁

I love musicals and I especially love that the best musical of all time, Hamilton, was inspired by the autobiography. I hope this trend continues. Anyone with me?

My favorite genre, by far. The first cassette tape I owned was the score from Funny Girl.
My grandfather played trombone, so I love Music Man.
Preparing for the Easter Sunday live airing of Jesus Christ Superstar, I watched the 1979's movie tonight..

I love musicals. My dream is to see Dear Evan Hansen. It's so honest and real. I'm hooked on all of the songs and I'm hoping I can sing Requiem for my next audition.
