MakemineVanilla Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The Scottsboro Boys was the show to see but I think it ended just before Christmas. Racial politics, false accusations, great tunes and minstrels - very scary for white folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted January 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2014 Been dragged to many of the big musicals over the last ten years of living in London. Hated all but Avenue Q but that one was my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have always loved musical theatre, but never seen one. Keep meaning to take my wife to see Jersey Boys but havent got round to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I saw the Spike Milligan musical version of Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall (I was given a free ticket), but other than that I've never really had any desire to go to the theatre to watch a musical. Saying that, I'd really like to see the musical of The Harder They Come (if it's even still going?), but then I love the film and the sound track.

Xann Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Some great tunes - and I would have liked to have heard Julie Andrews sing in her prime, but I can't be arsed with watching that nancying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Many years ago I got my wife tickets to go see Les Mis in the West End. Obviously it would be off to send her on her own, so I went along. What's the worst that can happen, I thought. If it's truly dull I can just sit there for 2 hours mentally plotting and scheming my world take over. Bloody show just blew me away from start to finish, loved it. Many many years I pulled the same trick again and bought tickets for Blood Brothers. What a pile of trite crap that was, awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife still thinks an early production of Les Mis was the best, but had Hamilton as strong second. The kids had Hamilton as a strong first place 'best ever'. Personally, I've sat through my last musical. Whilst they were rapping away to american history lessons, I was touring Soho's grubby little back street vinyl dens.

I took my wife to see it a couple of weeks ago. It was awful. I just can't be having the songs. They sound like (and this goes for most musicals imo) they have been written by some posho 6th form drama club with help from a drunk music teacher. They just aren't for me. I'll go to others in the future, but purely because theatre tickets pretty much guarantee the Mrs will sit on my face and do all the other good stuff afterwards, so I don't mind suffering for a couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2018 Musicals from the 1930s and 40s (Busby-Berkeley, Astaire & Rogers, etc.) were great. The last decent one was South Pacific (1948?). All that Sondheim, Lloyd Webber, Les Mis stuff is shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
