I love musicals. I watched Hamilton on Disney+ yesterday and found myself singing along to most of it. I also love Wicked which I have seen at the West End.

I am! I've always loved the movie Anastasia and when one of my classmates told me that she saw the Broadway musical of the famous film, I was instantly jealous. It's my dream one day to attend musicals, soap operas, and musical concerts!

Musicals aren't really my thing but I will admit the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog is a musical I still, to this day, sing along to. I am glad that movie is a musical. Rent and Mulan aren't that bad either. If someone could explain, in-depth, the appeal behind musicals I am certainly willing to listen.

I've gotten into musical recently, I'm obsessed with Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. They're fantastic and I can't stop singing the songs.

Yes! The Greatest Showman is amazing! I even bought the soundtrack! Very emotional film and Hugh Jackmans voice is divine 😂
Same! I still rock to that soundtrack and even its cover versions

I don’t mind musicals but It’s not always my first pick so I don’t know many. It was nice to see many suggestions!

I absolutely LOVE musicals! They are wonderfully written and are intriguing on multiple facets. I have seen Phantom of the Opera and Mamma Mia live and were amazed by both! I am always open to watching new musicals.

I watched "Fiddler on the Roof" when I was a little girl which for me was interesting because I have an uncle named Richard and the most famous song from that musical is probably "If I were a rich man" - haha. "Grease" might technically have been a musical. "Chicago" is also a musical.

ME! Hamilton is my favorite. When I get to see the show live I will be so happy. But I also love Heathers and Dear Evan Hansen. I find it so funny. Those might be basic but they are my favorites.
