Post your personal experiences with musicals here. For those who haven't watched one, would you consider going for one if you ever get the chance to do so?The first musical I watched was Chicago, when I was about 8. I was so young then and the details are all foggy. All I remember is the tune to "Mr Cellophane". I hope I'll get the chance to see it again so I can appreciate it a lot better. The second one that I watched was Chang and Eng. It was based on the famous Siamese twins namely of course: Chang and Eng. Again, I was a bit too young to recall the storyline in detail..
I also watched Oliver! which is based on Oliver Twist a few years back. Splendid show with heart wrenching melodies and a great plot. Last but not least, I watched Forbidden City: Portrait of An Empress, a local musical that tells the other side of the Empress Dowager Cixi's story. The music [a fusion of East and West] is stunning and the story is a gripping one. It should be going on tour soon, so if any of you hear of it, please give it a shot and enjoy a deeper insight into our Chinese culture~

You mean on stage? I saw The Secret Garden on stage when it came to the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans years ago. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I loved the music, especially Winter's on the Wing and Race You to the Top of the Morning. I bought the cd of the original Broadway cast afterwards so I could hear the music again.

No, the other titles were songs in The Secret Garden, not different shows.

I haven't actually gone to a REAL theater to see a musical. The only musicals I've seen were movies and high school musicals. I've also BEEN in a few high school musicals! Most of them were fun, but others were kinda lame and I wasn't too fond of being in them. Oh well...
