How did I miss this thread?
I love musicals, and have many, many favorites.
Ultimate is "Fiddler on the Roof" because it really speaks to my soul.
I think "Music Man" is one of the most clever musicals. The incorporation of the songs is just genius -- the opening train song, the Barbershop Quartet, the different groups singing different songs against each other, the Marian the Librarian scene -- love 'em!
But I'm also very partial to
"High Society"
"Three Little Words"
"Holiday Inn"

Not a true musical.. but I really like The Glenn Miller Story with James Stewart.. no songs like in a muscial but it's permeated with the music of Glenn Miller which I quite enjoy.
I enjoy lots of the others as well.. a couple I didn't see mentioned.
The Happiest Millionaire
The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band
Doctor Doolittle (with Rex Harrison)
Holiday Inn

Oh, it's been so long since i've seen this one. I just love it!
Also "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" -- but skip the slow love songs.

This has been a long running thread.
I read my comment from 2008, and would still agree with these, but I will add Mary Poppins.
Its been running here in OZ, and finishes it run in Sydney soon, and we totally enjoyed it.

I haven't been here in a long, long time, but I got email notices that this old thread has been revived. Nice to "see" you all again!
Now that my girls are so much older, I have to add a few that I've seen with the older ones. We love, love, love Les Miserables and Wicked.
Songs from musicals are a mainstay on the iPods and MP3 players around here.

That is my little girls' favorite right now! My six year old wants to be a "good cooker like Millie, so all the men will want to marry me".
