I have been obsessed with musicals since before I could remember. I have always loved the theatre and the beauty of the stage can bring. I have seen some amazing shows online, on the stage, and have recreated a few of my own when I was in high school--something that I miss dearly. And I will continue to love the stage and the wonder that it has brought me and countless others with it is musicals and plays over the years. So here are some musicals that you have to see--if you have not seen them already.
1. "Hamilton"
Of course, this musical made its way to the top of this list. It is a wonderful piece of art, with amazing music, and lets people know that people of color are here and they can do jobs just as well as their white counterparts and even better.
2. "Grease"
This one is just iconic, I mean really?
3. "Aladdin"
I love the Disney movie and the story but I fell even more in love with it after hearing the music for the musical. It's just amazing.
4. "The Lion King"
ICONIC, AM I RIGHT!? A true work of art.
5. "The Addams Family"
6. "Chicago"
7. "Dream Girls"
8. "Bring It On: The Musical"
9. "Wicked"
I know this one is overrated to many but the music is classic and the story is amazing so I always add it to the list of my favorites all the time.
10. "Hairspray"
11. "Avenue Q"
If you haven't seen this musical, you need to. Like ASAP. It's amazing! It's kind of like a raunchy sesame street, honestly.
12. "Catch Me If You Can"
13. "Kinky Boots"
Everybody say yeaaaaaaaah!
14. "Rocky Horror Show"
Just amazing!!
