Bretleigh's Top 10 Favorite Musicals of All Time

The other day at an institute activity, I was asked what was my top 10 favorite musicals were. I did not have an definite list. And so, for the last five days I have been pondering. I have thought about every musical I have ever seen, which is a lot, and I came up with a list. Here it is:

*My All time FAVORITE musical is: Les Miserables
Not a suprise, I know! Why do I love this show? The music, the message of the show, pretty much everything about it! There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this show. It is perfection!

*My 2nd favorite musical of all time is: The Scarlet Pimpernel
I feel the same way about this musical. The only reason this is my second favorite and not the first is because I feel the message is not quite as powerful as Les Mis.

The rest, I could not put in an order:
*Wicked
All right, I have not actually seen this show, but I have listened to the music for six years without getting sick of it. That has to mean I'm in love with it.

*Little Women
FANTASTIC music! Great emotion, wonderful dialogue. Love it!

*Jekyll and Hyde
THE MUSIC!!!! Oh my heck!!!!! And the Plot!!! Wow!

*Legally Blonde
This show is different from the other shows I like. But the girl power in this show is tangible! The dialogue is very witty. The music makes you want to stand up and dance.

*Fiddler on the Roof
My Jewish Heritage is probably what draws me to this musical! It is timeless. I laugh, I cry...it is awesome.

*Thoroughly Modern Millie
TAP DANCING! Hilarious plot! Wonderful music! I have been in it two times and am still in love with it!

*1776
Most people dislike this show. It bores them. But the history in it is incredible! AND, it is so freakin FUNNY!!! I about pee my pants every time! No, the music is not incredible, but it is still good, and so hysterical!

*Lion King
Two Words: African Harmonies. I cried within the first 20 seconds.

And, here is the runner up. I love it too much to not mention it:
*Light in the Piazza

This plot is so sweet. And the music is amazing.

And that is my list. Someday, it will probably change. New Musicals are being written all the time.
