My wife and I are opposites on this.  She dislikes musicals, and I actually enjoy them.  Generally, it is the other way around, or so I am told. 

I once made her listen to the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack for three hours on a road trip down to Florida.  I didn't get that CD back for two years. :naughty:

What? Was there singing in that? I only remember one or two, but I wouldn't count that as musical.

A Chorus Line.  Never saw it.  My Mom and StepDad did, and my Mom loved it so much, she bought the album.  I played it over and over and over again, and memorized every song. 

Musicals I have seen?  West Side Story, and Sound of Music.
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.

I don't mind playing/performing the soundtracks to them (Steven Sondheim is especially good), but don't ask me to actually sit through one and watch it.  :yawn: Lights out, baby, here come the snores.

I really like musicals.  Annie, Fiddler on the Roof, and Seven Brides for Seven Daughters are my favorites.

Dude, much of the story and character development is advanced through song.  It is a total musical.  Just watch it again.

It's a double musical if you watch it with the Pink Floyd album.  Which I have never bothered to do.

I downloaded a version of it with the music added in but have never watched it.

Musicals I have seen more than once:  Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Rent, Les Miserables, Chorus Line, and  Sweeney Todd.  I think I've seen all of them at least once (on and off Broadway!)

Do I win?  :-)
