El Hombre de The Spot
I can't say I am familiar with a lot of musicals, but back in high school I played trombone in the "pit orchestras" for a community production of Cabaret and a high school drama production of Man of La Mancha (Don Quijote). I had fun being involved, and I think the music is well-written.
For Cabaret, the band dressed up in sleazy costumes like you would see at a burlesque house in the 20's or 30's. The guys wore these really cool black hats - the kind that men typically wore back then. I'm not sure what they are called. They look kind of like cowboy hats, but a little smaller. We also took a small role in the acting - in the celebration scene at the end of Act I, we clinked wine glasses and pretended to drink wine (which was actually Kool-Aid). For La Mancha the band didn't have to dress up because the audience couldn't see us.
Though the one setback was that from where I sat, I did not have a good view of the actors, so I was unable to really experience the plays. Mostly I could only hear what they were saying, and it got annoying just listening to the same scripts over and over again when I really wanted to watch the acting from the audience's view.

The "old" musicals are my favorites, but, of the what I call the "newer" musicals Grease(the movie) is my favorite. My two girls just "love" that movie.

ano eiga wa subarashikatta desu! (that movie was excellent)
OH, OH, OH!!! I forgot I also watched the movie West Side Story!! That was excellent! Wanna watch it again!! My high school marching band played West Side Story songs my junior year. We played Maria, Officer Krupke, Tonight, Somewhere, and parts of Cool.
My second older brother also played a role in a musical. When he was a senior in high school, the drama performed The Music Man for the spring play. At the very end of the play, the marching band guest-performed (thou I don't remember what songs they played) and was in it on the trumpet. This was before I was in high school, though.
By the way, he lost interest in playing the trumpet, and since it was still laying around, I decided to start playing it myself. So for the last couple years I've been learning to play trumpet. The music is hard to read since it looks a whole step higher than it sounds. (for instance, trumpet music written out in the key of C is actually played in the key of B-flat. Many of you probably don't know what I'm talking about.) Because of that, it's hard for me to read. It's like reading tenor clef and transposing up an octave, subtracting two sharps. (Again, some of you are totall confused.)
But I enjoy confusing you guys.

El Rey Le�n / O Rei Le�o
A lot of animated films are kinda like musicals, I think. I know that The Lion King and Prince of Egypt are two animated films in which the characters broke into song from time to time. I'm sure there are many more.

I really liked Grease 2.
Ok, maybe I didn't. In fact, I hated it. Despised it. Loathed it. Made me want to hurl.
But I must say I did like the original Grease.

The thing I like about some musicals is this. Whenever I'm with a gang of people and we're about to rumble, we first break out with a song and dance.

My brother and I watched Grease 2 so many times when we were kids that we can still recite dialogue from it.
"All 300 pounds of it!"
Hey we were little. Kids have no shame.
