Megabump, this topic is too awesome to let die.
Jesus Christ Superstar is a fantastic musical btw, by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and better than Phantom.

I didn't like Jesus Christ Superstar much. Better than Starlight Express, but not as good as Evita or Phantom of the Opera. Bout the same as Cats.
In my opinion, of course.

I haven't seen Jesus Christ Superstar yet, though I did see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - well, a local production of it - and I really loved it. I was iffy about it too. I don't like religion being mixed up in my pop culture, and that why I worry about Jesus Christ Superstar - but I'll give it a chance if it comes through my town again.

I'm kinda "meh" when it comes to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
My favorite shows are: Titanic (it has no relation to the movie whatsoever) Thoroughly Modern Millie Into the Woods Sweeney Todd Pirates of Penzance Chicago Moulin Rouge!
I also really want to see Spring Awakening, but that would definitely be one I would see without my parents.

Spring Awakening is good, but kind of overrated. It's becoming the Juno of musicals. A hip show for hip teens!

A couple of kids I do theater with at school tried out for Spring Awakening I believe.
Another show I want to see is The Drowsy Chaperone.
EDIT: And Les Miserables. I definitely want to see that too.

...I wasn't aware Narnia was a musical. *tries to envision it*
I think Thoroughly Modern Millie ranks as my number one favorite show ever. My school performed it a couple of year ago, and the tap-dancing and singing were phenomenal, IMO.

Sweeny Todd, was like the best musical I have ever seen. Such a good movie; and Tim Burton and Jonny Depp did an amazing job together!

Johnny Depp really did bring emphasis to the character,more so than anyone else ever has so that definitely made it more interesting to watch.

Les Misérables (I was one of the Students in my school play) Guys and Dolls (I was a crapshooter) Hairspray Moulin Rouge Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (I was in the chorus) Fiddler on the Roof (I was the Rabbi XD) Grease Nightmare Before Christmas WICKED
NOT High School Musical.
Next year, my school is doing Crazy For You. I haven't really seen/heard it, but I like Gershwin.

I did a lot of musicals in school too,most of them I listed,I had random parts but I don't think anyone would believe me if I said who I was lol good times. I heard Crazy For You was pretty good,what part are you going out for?

I actually don't enjoy working in musicals much. They always come across as just a less fun, more impersonal play.

I like doing a lot of backstage things these days,like working the light and sound boards,for me being involved like that makes the show even more exciting in the end because I helped with it. That probably sounds a little conceited but I can live with that :-) As far as that goes working behind the scenes with "Cinderella" was pretty awesome,I set up the strobe lights for the transformation scene when she changes for the ball. Crazy times.
