I’ve kind of done myself a disservice by writing musicals off as “cringey” for most of my life, since most of my exposure to them is from things like Hamilton or Heathers, which personally aren’t really my cup of tea.
Anyway, I recently discovered a French musical that i really enjoy (Mozart l’opera rock), and it’s kind of left me wanting more. So I thought, since people here have music tastes that generally match up with mine, please feel free to recommend some!
Beetlejuice (2019 run), Be More Chill qre some kf my favs!
Avenue Q
I love the classics like Phantom of the Opera and Cats (it’s also really great dancing! And don’t judge it by the terrible movies).
I also love the Austrian musical about Empress Sissi “Elisabeth” and Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires) is also an all time favorite.
I absolutely would love to see Beetlejuice, Sweeny Todd, Wicked and Rock Horror live if I get the chance. (Written while waering a Beetlejuice costume for Halloween.)
The Disney musical are also pretty great productions if you like the music.
Book of Mormon is fantastic.
