i love a good musical

The Sound Of Music (i get chills at the begining....with Andrews in the Austrian mountains....and i cry when i hear 'Edelweiss' i watch this at least twice a year)
Little Shop Of Horrors (it's just such a classic and the cast in the film is perfect)
Cannibal: The Musical (so bad it's good)
Kenickie! Good character. And you got to sing Greased Lightening! You lucky dog you, Bob. I used to practice those fun arm motions all the time after I first saw the movie. Better than the macarena!

I've never seen "Cannibal." "So bad it's good" sounds promising. I've seen a very non-professional production of "Little Shop of Horrors" and actually forgot it *is* a musical because I probably was trying to blank out the singing, which I may not have liked.

Speaking of musicals (since we are), I saw "Mamma Mia!" quite a few years ago in Chicago and, having very low expectations, was favorably impressed. The ABBA songs were worked into the drama quite well, I felt, and the plot was fairly interesting...even if it is just a variation of the ol' tired love story plot used over and over again in musical after musical and song after song. At least "The Little Shop of Horrors" has a human-eating plant. That's fresh.
