The movie adaptation of Into the Woods wasn't bad, but I feel like they really left out a lot of the humor and heart that went into the original version. I also think that some of the things in the original would be weird if you saw the movie first, like Jack being a young adult instead of a kid.
Seriously, though, why has no one mentioned Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog yet?

DHSAB is fantastic! I tried for quite a while to do a stage version of it with some friends but never got it off the ground.
I'm currently a little obsessed with The Last Five Years. I watched it mostly on a whim a couple of weeks ago because it was on Netflix, and my instinct says that its not a particularly great show, but the other night I had a sudden urge to rewatch it, and I've been listening to the soundtrack almost continuously for the past 24 hours while pulling an all-nighter.

I have more experience playing in pit orchestras than acting/singing or viewing from the audience. I have to say I really like Little Women and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
I've heard very good things about Book of Mormon, Wicked, and Newsies though. I'd like to eventually see them.

No one's seen Chess, and that makes me sad. Similarly, has anyone here seen Galavant?

I'm a sucker for anything Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg and anything historical so I am just in love with The Pirate Queen. It didn't get as much love from critics as Les Mis but its got a fantastic story and some bomb ass songs. I also love Ragtime since it covers my favorite era of history and the soundtrack is just A++

This relates to video games and musicals, but recently a
Portal 2 Musical was released. Not too bad, in my opinion.

Finally, a thread perfect for my tastes.
One of my favorite musicals is Dear Evan Hansen. I'm actually going to be doing a recording session with a couple of those songs, so I'm pretty excited.

I don't think anyone could realistically argue that Hamilton isn't a musical. It's on Broadway.

My favorite musical is probably one of these:
- Into the Woods
- Newsies
- Phantom of the Opera
- Jesus Christ Superstar
- (I like lots of music genres; just some good old "regular" theatre like into the woods, pop operas, classical singing, and more shouting than singing- yes, Newsies)
I'm trying to get into new musicals. Ideas?
