In reply to the discussion: Can anyone recommend some musicals I should listen to? [View all]soleiri
(955 posts)33. Another yes for Sondheim.
He is a genius.
A living legend.
Into the Woods
Company
Assassins
Sunday in the Park with George
Follies (which is touring, I believe)
Basically, anything Sondheim.
other musicals I like include:
Hair
Wicked
Avenue Q
Spring Awakening (not everyone likes this one, I love it)
Book of Mormon
Urinetown
Next to Normal
The original Evita with Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin is Heaven! I've been listening to that endlessly.
and of course, Chess. Personally, I like the NY benefit concert better than the London benefit concert because Sutton Foster was in the NY concert. It may be harder to find, however.
and others, of course.

The only Kurt Weill opera I have seen is "Street Scene". It was wonderful.
