periodictabledancer Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Jersey Boys. I didn't realise Frankie Valli was a right tearaway when he was kid and that he saved the life of one of the band members (who owed the Mafia a LOT of money) by agreeing to play in Vegas to pay the debts off. And the music was good too. Edited February 6 by periodictabledancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to my first ever musical the other week, to see Wicked in Edinburgh Playhouse and bloody enjoyed it. Was thoroughly impressed. Not much point rating it as the best though as it's the only one I've been to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micole Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Spamalot in London, also Blood Brothers liked them and I hate musicals.When we were in New York a few years back she persuaded me to go and see Miss Siagon, a lot of pish, hated every minute of it....😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CostaJambo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I was at one tonight funnily enough, Mrs. Doubtfire. Would definitely recommend but the best one I have been to was Mary Poppins. N.B. Not sure if these are strictly "musicals" as such but they have plenty of singing in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 18 hours ago, AyrJambo said: There are only two musicals worthy of attention... West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar I'm fairly sure it's safe to add Les Miserables to that list. Caught me by surprise how good it was. Shows like Jersey Boys and We Will Rock You belong in a different category. Reverse engineering a set of well established songs into a story is not the same as starting with with a story and interspersing it with songs written to fit the story. However, in that other category, I'd give a thumbs up to (gulp) Someshite in Leith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the music was good too. Saw Jersey Boys in Hull in May 22. Love the music anyway and the show was great. Did a bit of wiki searching afterwards and found out that Frankie Valli was still touring at the ripe old age of 88. Not only that but he was coming to the UK in June so got tickets to see him at Nottingham. Obviously not as mobile as he once was but still sounded great.

Basically i love a musical but would rate Matilda and School of Rock highest simply because the whole family loved them. But thought Wicked was dull and Rent was absolute gash.
