even though i was not technically a theater kid (since I can't sing, dance, or act), I still have a love for musicals, and these are some of my absolute favorites. I've seen 5 of the shows on a stage, but the others I've seen professional recordings ...
this is my favorite musical ever. it's so much better than the movie. elle and emmett have a more believable relationship arc, and the songs are soooo catchy. i need them to bring it back to broadway so i can see it in person. but at least there is a...
Legally Blonde the Musical
i got to see this on broadway and it is just incredible. I'm a big greek mythology nerd, so this is the perfect musical for me. i literally get chills whenever I watch or listen to it
Hadestown
i know it's basic, but I do have a soft spot for this musical
Hamilton
this was the first musical I ever listened to, so it is so special to be. plus, it's jeremy jordan
Newsies
the vibes are so amazing, the women are bad*ss, and the songs slay
SIX
this musical is so weird and chaotic I love it
The Book of Mormon
whoever casted this movie musical deserves an award
Hairspray (musical)
i need a professional recording or a movie adaptation of this asap
Anastasia
this was the first play i ever saw in the theater, and even though it was so long ago, I can still remember so much of it
Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella
this was one of the plays I did in middle school. I was just ensemble (again, I am not musically gifter), but it was still so much fun
Disney's The Little Mermaid
this was the first play I did in middle school. I got to play a mermaid and I even had one line
Peter Pan JR.
this was the last play I have been in. I love the lion king, but I don't love the play because I was ‘head zebra’ and allergic to my costume. but the music is sooo good that I still love it
Disney THE LION KING
this musical is so iconic. it is basically the movie with songs, but the songs are what make it so much better
Mean Girls The Musical
belle is my favorite princess, so I obviously have to put this in here
Disney BEAUTY AND THE BEAST The Musical
i mean… it would be wrong to make a musical list without including this icon
