I haven't seen it, but I would say Chicago.  It was a great movie, too.

I base movies/musicals based solely on my enjoyment of them.  It has to be entertaining and a good story, otherwise its not gonna be a favorite.  As an aside - I definitely agree about Wicked - I LOVE it (both because I enjoyed the story and that I saw it for the first time with my best friend.)

Well, "The Producers" isn't all that new.  The original movie that is was based on is from 1976 (I believe).  The Broadway show started in 2001, and won the "Best Musical" Tony Award, and 11 other Tonys (the most ever).  All 6 of the leads were nominated for Tonys.\n\nPart of the appeal is that it is a comedy (to quote the show "The theatre's so obsessed with dramas so depressed, it's hard to sell a ticket on broadway"), but there is also a plot within all the silliness.  It also pokes fun at American culture, specifically the theatre-going crowd.  Also the music is written in classic Broadway style.  Just listen to the overture and it feels like an old feel good musical.

I loved it. I saw it in Chicago with Heather Headley as Aida. It is my favorite play ever. So sad it closed before I got to go to NY to see it.

Humm I would have to say.. The wizard of OZ then Sound of Music and then Gone with the wind... only reason I chose Wiz as the best is that it took great imagination.. it is colorful and anyone can enjoy it.. and I love the songs.. Ding Dong the Witch is dead the wicked witch is dead... LOL See it still makes me laugh...

That was truly an awesome movie. Much better than the Robert Englund version, I couldn't tell which version I loved better, the movie or the music from the broadway play (I unfortulately have not seen it yet).

It depends on what you want to see.  There's always Ticketmaster, but their fees are usually pretty high.  Broadway.com is pretty good, but again high fees (but it has a listing of all the shows so it can give you an idea of what's out).  Also, you can always try TKTS when you get to the city, but then you can't be guaranteed of any tickets at the same time.

My favorite movie of all time is Music Man, yes it is a musical, but it was my dad's favorite when he was alive, so I take after him...\nMy favorite song would be Evergreen, it has a haunting melody...\nMy favorite store is Sears, where America shops!!!

I LOVED it! but I've always liked the music to the show. \n\nIf you enjoy musicals, I suggest seeing it!  Pretty much people love it or hate it, often because of the subject matter.  It's very liberal, so many people immediately hate it because of that.\n\nBut if you're an open person, I say see it...it may open you up to a whole world of musicals, etc. that you may very well like!

"Clerks" was good.\n\n"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"  was pretty amusing, too.

It looks like the musical was shown on television in 1982 but no one has made it commercially available - the only copies remaining are people who taped it off the television and still have them. \nYou can buy a copy of the original "short" from 1941, or the 1978 Original Broadway Cast recording on CD.

I think that the French Connection is the best.  There was a great chase scene involving the West End elevated train through Borough Park.
