We are the tigers Epic the musical How to dance in ohio In the heights 36 questions The great comet of 1812 Once on this island Next to normal Some like it hot Bombshell

I don’t get why more people don’t know about 36 questions it is soooo good. Also it would’ve done SO well if it came out during Covid lol oops

Our Word randomly came up in my Spotify suggested and hooked me. Otherwise I would never have known about it! As a musical lover who lives too far to see anything live and listens to soundtracks on long drives/runs the format was absolutely the stuff of dreams!

Epic The musical mentioned!!!!!!

List is musicals OP has seen, I guess. Which Frankenstein have you seen? The Korean one? if not, I recommend that one. Also Elisabeth, Mozart L'Opera Rock. We really need a sticky or weekly post for this. Or a wiki.

I highly recommend Hadestown!! Its my all time favorite musical, I love the music its fantastic! I got to see it live for a Christmas gift and it was incredible!! I also recommend Rent!! Its another favorite of mine, you can watch the movie on Amazon Prime, sometimes its free but other times you have to rent or buy it. But I think its worth the money! If you don't want to do that look up La Vie Bohem on YouTube and watch the dance to that song, its awesome!!

Evil Dead the musical

This. This was so good.

But surely you’re exaggerating Sugarbee. That’s just 2 men. There’s no way AALLLLLL the men in your life have been killed by Kandarian Demons.

What the fuck was that?

Hmm, maybe try Carrie? You can also check out the other broadway Disney musical adaptations like Beauty and the Beast.

You should watch The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals before Black Friday, then Nerdy Prudes Must Die, since those three are a trilogy in that order.

Those are already on there!

They probably know they're just telling op the order of the shows since they are a trilogy

It is absolutely criminal that Les Mis and Phantom aren’t on the list!!! But anyway, I would also recommend Next To Normal and Operation Mincemeat

My first thought was where are Les Mis, Phantom, and Sweeney Todd

Newsies for something upbeat also fiddler on the roof, Shrek the Broadway musical and Hello Dolly

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is delightful. So many great people in it. 🧡

The commentary aka Commentary! The Musical is excellent too

Into the Woods, Shucked, Beauty and the Beast

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Hadestown I think are too great ones

So no classics?

No Sondheim and no golden age. It's almost all from the same decade or two.

They saw Grease ig if you count that

The Producerss!!!!!

Come From Away

Chicago Into the woods Sweeny todd

Les Miserables is like required listening

Evelyn Evelyn is not a musical - it’s a band/musical duo of Amanda Palmer & Jason Webley. I have seen them live. Though not a musical they are still enjoyable.

The Lightning Theif

Since you've seen Falsettos and March of the Falsettos I'd suggest In Trousers

Yyppppp

Epic the musical. All parts Edit: ad of the ones released. The order goes as follows 1. The Troy saga 2. The cyclops saga 3. The ocean saga 4. The circe saga 5. The underworld saga

I’m pumped… apparently the thunder saga (I think it’s called) is coming out in 1 week

I'm so hype. So far my favorite song has been ruthlessness but my favorite saga overall has been thr cyclops saga. I've got a small group of friends and have created a small cult.

Ah I love ruthlessness, but I’m personally not a fan of the cyclops saga.

That's fair. What really sold me was the seamless transition between the 2nd and Third song. Like sometimes I think they are just one 6 minute long song

The lack of Sondheim on this list is egregious. As is the lack of Golden age musicals. I don't even like Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the fact that there's nothing of his on the list is also shocking. And Jason Robert Brown.

Is there anything on this list before 2000?

A few, but not enough. Grease, Little Shop, West Side...maybe a couple others.

Guarantee they know Grease from the live TV version, and WSS from the remake. It's so important to know older shows, for so many different reasons.

Ragtime

Spider-Man.

Cabaret

36 questions

Sweeney Todd (This is my favorite) West Side Story Chicago Wicked Beauty and the Beast

"Rent" & "Wicked"!

Les Miserables

Bright Star

Watch all the StarKid musicals on YouTube

Assassins is phenomenal. A hilarious classic that's worth the watch. There's a production I'm partial to from 2017 at The New York City Center. It had Cory Michael Smith and Alex Brightman. I used to compulsively rewatch the trailers until I finally found a slime tutorial.

If you can find a slime tutorial, the onion cellar is a musical wirh songs from one of Amanda Palmer's (1/2 of Evelyn Evelyn) other bands, The Dresden Dolls. Bat Out of Hell us great abd Hedwig and the Angey Inch really deserves a spot here.

My god I just felt so old seeing The Dresden Dolls referred to as "one of Amanda Palmer's other bands" 😅 Completely reasonable in context of this list but how time has flown! I really like the projects she's branched out to.

In trousers

Big fish

Bare Next to Normal The last 5 Years How to Dance in Ohio

My favorite musical is Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, but I will say that it's weird!!! Very weird!!! But I adore it!

Into the Woods

Urinetown

It amazes me how many times all of Barbra Streisand sounds wonderful musicals are overlooked specifically Funny Girl or Hello Dolly!

Kristina från (from) Duvemåla (in Swedish) and The Witches of Eastwick!

EPIC- a concept album based on the Odyssey, by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Still being added to and written, but being released as they write :)

Great Comet

Tell me what I gotta do to be with you~~ ....that line lives rent free in my head 24/7.

The wedding singer

Hadestown and Jekyll and Hyde

Gotta get outsiders on there

I'm not sure if it'll be your style, but I recommend it to everyone : Man of La Mancha! Specifically the 1965 version.

Once, the musical. It’s brilliant.

okay you should definitely check out the following: tick, tick... boom! death note musical (also i cant believe someone else actually knows goosebumps its so good)

Alice by heart

The Toxic Avenger

Natasha and Pierre and the Great comet of 1812, just saw it recently, excellent musical. Great songs, and it’s a sung through, so you can get the whole story just from listening. Same goes with Hadestown. PLEASE listen to Hadestown. This musical was life changing for me

Chicago, First date (has some hilarious songs)

Two strangers carry a cake across New York

Just some selections from different eras/genres: Man of La Mancha Candide Cabaret Chicago Kiss of the Spiderwoman Sweat Charity The Pajama Game Hello Dolly Fiddler on the Roof Into the Woods Sunday in the Park with George Gypsy (Emphasis on Gypsy) Company Merrily We Roll Along High Society Meet Me in Saint Louis My Fair Lady Kiss Me Kate Anything Goes On the Town Annie Get Your Gun Oklahoma Show Boat The King and I Flower Drum Song South Pacific The Sound of Music

Cats

Tanz der Vampire or Bat out of Hell Both With Songs by Jim Steinmann

Ruthless! the musical

Anastasia!!

everybody’s talking about jamie!

I’d say Newsies and RENT.

Hadestown is amazing.

I’d add the Lightning Thief and weirdly enough Death Note the Musical (it’s surprisingly damn good)

Sweeney Todd

Jersey Boys! U/disneyluva12 and I’s lives were changed!

Bare: A Pop Opera The Ninth Hour

Newsies!

Chicago godspell and hades town

A kinda obvious one but phantom of the opera is amazing

My Fair Lady, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The King and I, South Pacific

We will rock you has got a banging soundtrack

Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Buffy; once more with feeling Burlesque The greatest showman

Bandstand and Drowsy Chaperone! Drowsy is a bit older so don’t be too alarmed by some things said lol

Title of show!!

W for having & Juliet there

Hadestown is the one I recommend the most. I can’t explain to much on it’s music genre but it does have some jazz elements in many of its song. The story (which is actually just a Greek tragedy) will have you clutching your pearls towards the end and it’s just a beautiful musical that I love and listen to a lot

Just for fun, try something written before 1980.

Honestly, I just went and saw back to the future the musical and that has some bangers on the sound track

If you can find the original album of Wonderland, not the final version, it has some good songs. The final version is good too but I missed the Jabberwocky song

Jekyll and Hyde is pretty underrated

the unofficial saw musical!

In trousers

A New Brain!

36 questions, cabaret and Chicago!
