Awwww. No-one agrees with me about Gypsy. It's a fab film and it's a musical about strippers. You just can't go wrong with that :D

Classic tunes!

Let me entertain you..

You've gotta have a gimmick (with a bump, a bump and a boom boom bump :D )

Evvvvvveryyyyy things comeeeeeeeeeing up roses!!!!

Obviously the original with Natalie Wood is better than the one with Bette Middler

I'm starting to suspect i was a gay man in a previous life :D :D

I don't think that many people have seen Gypsy - I know I haven't

It'll surely be on the telly somewhere at xmas. Look out for it :cool:

The talk of strippers has lured you in. I can tell....;)

I have indeed heard the tunes, but i remember Dame Shirl's version more than remembering it being in a musical.

*returns to wondering if i was indeed a gay man in a previous life* :D
 
I've never see Gypsy either, possibly not Sunday afternoon watching ;)

OU I didn't know the origins of the musical :eek:

Nooooooo!!! Despite the talk of strippers it's a total afternoon musical :)

*quick google* The film came out in 1962 ffs!
 
Gypsy and Sweet Charity would make a good sex for sale musical double bill, one being about strippers the other one being about prostitutes. Both are very tame though. Gypsy is based on the life of Gypsy Rose Lee, probably the most famous stripper of all time. Sweet Charity is a musical remake of Fellini's Nights of Cabiria, btw. It also has got the greatest party scene ever IMO.

add a bit of Cabaret in there too and you'll have a right ol' gebumst werden. :cool:
 
Too much Grease overload for me too, but this Urinetown thingy that Firly's on about sounds quite interesting :D

I forgot to mention Jerry Springer, The Opera...

"Thiiiiissss is my Jerry Springer Momeeeeent"
:D
 
Madusa said:
I cant sit through Grease anymore... the songs just remind me of drunken nights in bad bars. :o

Just cant do it.

That's probably the reason why I like it so much... :o
 
rocky horror show followed by chicago and grease. not a huge fan of musicals though.
 
I *heart* musicals but my all-time favourite is Singin' in the Rain. It never fails to cheer me up. I might watch it this afternoon, aksherly. :)
 
Alex B said:
Sweeney Todd, anyone?

Yes, absolutely. Also "A Little Night Music" and "Follies"

"The King and I" is great, as is "Chicago"

Performance wise my favourites have been "A Little Night Music", "The Threepenny Opera", "Lust" and "The Baker's Wife".

Can't stand "West Side Story" though. Sorry.
