I'm really awful because the only stage show I think I've seen from that list is Les Mis and it was so long ago that I barely rememeber it.. I may have seen others but it was in high school so that doesn't count and of course there are always the movie versions

Well, how about your favorite movie versions then? I only listed the ones I'd seen in person--I'm a theatre geek--but I love tons of musicals I've only seen in the movies too.

I've seen Fiddler on the Roof (DVD) Grease in theater and on tv both West Side Story was in high school...also I was actually in the musical Brigadoon as sort of an extra, of course and my brother was in I think Camelot ...as a tree, gargoyle, statue, table...in general scenery
I saw Oklahoma performed by my church..we do musicals sometimes...but i also saw the movie and the sound of music of course...I really don't watch much musicals...just phantom if I did

Besides Phantom of the Opera, I'd have to say that Cats, Evita, and West Side Story are my favorites.

Oh, I love CATS and West Side Story! (I'm sure I'd love Evita too, but I've never seen it and I only know a couple of songs from it.) I'm seeing CATS in San Francisco on February 25th, I'm so excited!
And Opera Angel, you've seen several of my faves. Is Phantom really the only musical you're into though?

Seems like it...I'm just in love with the phantom himself in general more like an obsession..it would be difficult for me to be obssessed in more than one thing..actually I love the story itself too

I did see Little Shop of Horrors at an outdoor theater...I didn't know that the play ended differently from the movie before I saw it...funny huh? I do remember seeing a professional production of Oliver but that was so long ago

I'm adding a few to my list...
- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
- The Light in the Piazza (I just saw it this summer...loved it!)
- Cinderella (The Rodgers & Hammerstein version.)
- Evita (Haven't seen it all the way through, but I know almost all of it.)
- Jesus Christ Superstar (I'm seeing it live for the first time on December 26th!)
Opera Angel, I didn't know about the different endings in Little Shop until I saw it live either! Which do you prefer? I think I like the stage version, but the movie's is cute too. A good friend of mine is currently in a community theatre production of this show, so I'll be seeing it again soon. ^_^
Oh, and I'm most likely going to be the assistant stage manager for an upcoming production of Seussical, which is cooleroonie. I love assistant stage managing.

Actually I knew the guy who played Seymour in the theater because he taught the music classes in high school which I was pretty much a a part of since I took special music in elementary school. I think Little Shop was a local production but whoever played in it did pretty good job, but I loved the movie as well.
