West Side Story - A retelling of the Romeo and Juliet tale set in the background of New York's racial gang warfare. All of the music are consistently good and
inspired - some are full of passion (Tonight
nike air huarache bleu marine , Maria, One Hand, One Heart, Somewhere), some are rousing (America, Tonight Quintet), and some funny (Gee, Officer
Krupke, I Feel Pretty). When seen with the dancing
nike air huarache blanche pas cher , it's one of the most memorable experience! 2. My Fair Lady - This witty, funny, very delightful musical is a
classic that defined a generation (early 60's). Story of a dirty flower girl
whom an English professor taught to speak proper English until he was able to
pass her off as a princess in a ball. Great music includes "I Could Have Danced
All Night", "On The Street Where You Live". Other delightful music that Rex
Harrison half-sings and half-recites include "Why Can't The English", "A Hymn to
Him" and "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face". 3. Jesus Christ Superstar - This
once controversial rock musical about the last days of Jesus actually contains
music in a variety of genre. It's mostly rock of course, but there's also pop (I
Don't Know How To Love Him) classical (John 1941) charleston (King Herod's Song)
and opera (The Last Supper)! My other favorites are "Getsemane" and
"Everything's Alright". A feast for the ears! 4. The Music Man (Meredith Wilson)
- Set in Iowa, the story of a con man who sells musical instruments but gets
caught because of his love for Marian the librarian. Every number is a delight -
from the opening "The Traveling Salesman" to "Goodnight My Someone" to "Ya Got
Trouble" and "Seventy Six Trombones". Even the quaint "Lida Rose", sung by a
barbershop quartet is delightful. And of course, "Till There Was You" is so good
the Beatles even recorded it! 5. Chicago - This cynical musical from Kander and
Ebb set in the 1920's is a satire about how society turns criminals into
celebrities. Every song is a vaudeville number
nike air huarache noir femme , and two songs are my personal anthem, "Razzle Dazzle" (if you don't have anything substantial, razzle dazzle 'em) and
"All That Jazz". Became famous for the movie adaptation winning Best Picture of
2002. 6. Grease - A fun romp full of 50's inspired music about the youth of the
50's discovering love, friendship, class conflict and pregnancy. I like it
mainly for the toe-tapping choruses "We Go Together", "Greased Lightning" and
"Born to Hand Jive". 7. Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat - The story of the
Biblical David the Dreamer with enjoyable songs that parody many genres - French
Cafe (Those Canaan Days) country (There's One More Angel in Heaven), calypso
(Benjamin Calypso) and Elvis (Seven Fat Cows)! This early Rice and Webber is a
lot of fun to listen to. Famous for "Any Dream Will Do." 8. Fiddler on the Roof
- a tuneful musical about a Jewish father whose traditions are being challenged
by his five daughters and the changing world. Best songs to me are "Sunrise,
Sunset", "If I Were A Rich Man"
acheter nike air huarache noir , and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker". "To Life" and "The Bottle Dance" are rousing, while "Tevye's Dream" and "Tradition" are
fun. 9. Company - differs from the traditional musical in that it is comprised
of vignettes (linked by Bobby's 35th birthday) instead of a straightforward
plot. Sondheim's clever music and cleverer lyrics are not immediately
accessible, but they grow on you. You will also empathize if you're into
marriage and relationships. My favorites include "Being Alive", "The Ladies Who
Lunch" (two songs made famous by Barbra Streisand), "You Could Drive A Person
Crazy" and "Side by Side by Side". 10. Kismet - full of wonderful, tuneful,
exotic music based on themes by Russian composer Alexander Borodin. All of the
songs are so good, with "Stranger in Paradise" and "Baubles
nike air huarache rose fluo , Bangles and Beads" becoming classics. My personal favorites are "Fate" and the beautiful quartet "And This Is My
Beloved". 11. Follies - the other pastiche Sondheim musical with theme about
relationships has many wonderful, classy, intelligent songs that are
surprisingly tuneful. The best of Sondheim songs here include "Losing My Mind" ,
and "I'm Still Here". I can relate to "The Road You Didn't Take". "Broadway
Baby" is a guilty pleasure. 12. Oklahoma - the granddaddy of them - the first
musical with depth and psychological complexity - is as fresh as when it was
created by the genius of Rodgers and Hammerstein. All songs are great from "Oh,
What A Beautiful Mornin" to the rollicking "The Surry with the Fringe On Top" to
the beautiful "Out of My Dreams" and the bitter "Lonely Room". 13. Carousel -
another great musical from the great Rodgers and Hammerstein about a bad
Carousel barker whose life is changed by the thought of having a daughter. "If I
Loved You" is to me one of the best Broadway song ever, but "You'll Never Walk
Alone" is a bit on the annoyingly cloying side. Another of my favorite is the
"Soliloquy". 14. Camelot - this musical takes you to the time of King Arthur and
tells the story of how love can destroy a "brief, shining moment that was known
as Camelot". "If Ever I Would Live You" has become a classic. Other enjoyable
songs include the comically self-confident "C'est Moi", Guenevere's melodious
songs "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood", "The Lusty Month of May
acheter nike huarache , and "Before I Gaze at You Again". My favorite though is Arthur's self-mocking song "I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight". Go figure.
15. Hello, Dolly - very delightful musical with a farcical plot about a widow
who puts her hand on matchmaking penniless clerks. Rousing numbers include "Put
on your Sunday Clothes", "Before the Parade Passes By", "Elegance", and of
course, the title song "Hello, Dolly". "It Only Takes A Moment" is a beautiful
ballad. Author's Resource Box This and other lists by people like you can be
