The way your entry was worded, I assumed that you meant "watch" as in on tv or dvd, not live.
There are many many more, but here is just a few to get started

Answer 3

Seeing as how you posted this in Performing Arts, and not the television section, I'd say the South Park and Blazing Saddles don't fit here. And they are mediocre at best.

Some really good newer musicals I recommend are "Wicked" and "Whistle Down the Wind". Of course, "Whistle Down the Wind" is only being performed in London, but if you ever get over there, it is highly worth it.

Some other musicals I would tell you to see are: Sunset Boulevard, Jeckell, Fiddler on the Roof, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Into the Woods, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Lion King, and Sweeney Todd.

I loved ALL of these musicals, and they are played all over the country in Off-Broadway performances.

Answer 4

One of my favorites is Fiddler on the Roof, we're doing that this year for my school and I'm Hodel, so excited... (it's symbolic for my high school because it shows that you need to stick together through all the bad times, and my school recently had a student die and six hostages from a shooting, so I can totally relate)

I also like Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge, and the Music Man

Answer 5

The Producers
Moulin Rouge
Dreamgirls
Chicago (super good)
Grease
The Sound of Music

Answer 6

Orlando babe, luv 2 dance, and jess-

thank god you guys said RENT. i would have had to do something very violent if no one had said that. although RENT is the all time best musical production, its not great to see as a first. you might want to start w/ something more classic like POTO or Annie or Oklahoma, The King and I ect.... because those are more classic and give you a better taste of the drama industry. THEN SEE RENT. it gives you a whoel new prospective on life. its so raw and fresh. set as a rock oprea, its completly new and totally mind-blowing <3

Answer 7

My personal favorites are Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and Jekyll and Hyde.
Other one's that I love are Into the Woods, The Secret Garden, RENT, Wicked, Avenue Q, and Sweeney Todd. Hope you enjoy them!

Answer 8

Man From LaMancha

West Side Story

My Fair Lady

The Producers

Blazing Saddles

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

Answer 9

Greese, Phantom of the Opera, White Christmas, Fidler on the Roof, and EVERY disney movie every made.

Answer 10

Bye Bye birdie, phantom of the opera, fiddler on the roof, wicked, lion king, les miserables, beauty and the beast, rent.
