I've never been to New York, so I'm pretty much stuck with what is touring. I'm not a big fan of just getting the music without being able to see the musical, so that's kind of out for me.
My city (Tucson, and for a show I care enough about, Phoenix) hasn't been getting anything all that great lately. I just saw Les Mis on its final pass through on the last tour, so I'm happy about that. We've got The Lion King in August and Rent is coming again in March. But other than that, almost nothing. The biggest show on next year's schedule is probably Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. While that's supposed to be good, it's not gonna get me to pay a small mint to see it just because nothing else good is coming.
We used to get 3-4 quality shows every year. :\
My favorites? Well, I've always loved Les Mis and Rent. My favorite music in a show is Chess (it's the only musical I've ever liked without actually seeing live, which is fortunate because they haven't toured it ever, I think). I've always loved Joseph (the only ALW show that I'm really fond of) and Mamma Mia!, and I absolutely love the music to The Full Monty. Those are the ones that come to my head first, but I've seen a lot of other great musicals that I liked quite a bit.
In school, I was a bit part in Guys and Dolls and 42nd Street. My crowning achievment was getting to play the son in Bye, Bye, Birdie with two cool, little (extremely!) high solos in the middle of some of the better songs in the show.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
