Nothing beats a good musical. You not only get to watch great acting, but you also get to listen to some really, really great songs. The songs can be anywhere from catchy tunes to beautiful, breathtaking masterpieces. Most of the time we like to hide the fact that we are, indeed, in love with musicals and their songs. But not anymore! Let us proclaim our love for these amazing productions and be proud of it!
Musicals can allow actors to show a number of talents, and the result can leave you breathless. There is acting, there is dancing, there is singing, and there is beauty!
1. “The Phantom of the Opera”
Did you know Gerard Butler could sing? I didn't either, but his voice is seriously heaven. Even though I have seen it a million times, I still always hope for a different ending; damn you Raul. Christine, why?!
2. “Les Miserables”
Russell Crowe + Hugh Jackman + Anne Hathaway + Amanda Seyfried = an all-star cast. Yes. Yes, they can sing, like heavenly voices from above singing.
3. “High School Musical”
Hey, who says we have to let it go? If you’re from my generation, chances are this was how you envisioned high school to be like. We were so very, very wrong!
4. “Cats”
Ever wonder what stray cats do when they get together? Sing some amazing songs, that’s what. Oh the memory of it!
5. “Grease”
Oh, the 1950’s, what a time to be alive. Greasers, pink ladies, beauty school dropouts and innocent goody-two-shoes all thrown together to make one heck of an electrifying school year for Rydell High.
6. “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”
Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frankincense and Gideon, though a little rough at first, turn out to be heartthrobs. Wish I would have been one of the seven brides! Milly sure put up with a lot of shit!
7. “Into the Woods”
With a mash-up of all of your favorite fairy tales, this musical will connect them all in an amazing and crazy way.
8. “Oklahoma”
Every morning is a beautiful morning when you are watching “Oklahoma.”
9. “Rent”
Because of this musical we know how many minutes are in a year: “five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes!”
10. “Annie Get Your Gun”
Forever answering challenges with, “anything you can do, I can do better.”
11. Any Disney Movie
These were the songs of our childhood, and let’s be honest, we can still remember every word to every song. From "Lion King" to "The Little Mermaid" to "Hercules" to "Pocohontas," we love, love, love, the songs!
