How is that a musical? It has a lot of singing/performing, though not in the way real musicals do.

| Post subject: | Your Rankings of the Musicals of the Decade! |
Following on Dr. Lecter's own rankings of the musicals of this decade on the fourth page of the Dreamgirls review thread, I thought it would be fun for all of us musical fans to do our own rankings. Here are the candidates in the order they were released: Dancer in the Dark Moulin Rouge! Hedwig and the Angry Inch Chicago The Phantom of the Opera Rent The Producers Idlewild Dreamgirls Hairspray Across the Universe Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Mamma Mia! High School Musical 3 Repo: The Genetic Opera I have also added a poll in which you can pick your top three musicals of the decade to see if we can get any kinda consensus on this 'round here... |

I haven't seen the most recent two musical on the list yet (HSM3 and Repo: The Genetic Opera (what a crummy release they gave that one!)) - - but here are my rankings of the twelve I have seen: Moulin Rouge! Hairspray Hedwig and the Angry Inch Rent Chicago Idlewild Dreamgirls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Across the Universe Mamma Mia! The Phantom of the Opera The Producers Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Note: Those above the line are all-time classics which I hope to see many times in the future. Those below the line are crap which I wish I could erase from my memory.) |

1. Moulin Rouge 2. Dreamgirls 3. Chicago 4. Hairspray 5. The Producers 6. Sweeney Todd 7. Mamma Mia! 8. The Phantom of the Opera 9. Idelwild 10. Repo: The Genetic Opera Looks like I forgot some in that thread. Anyway, the first two are great, #3 and #4 are very good and #5 is solid too. The rest, I wasn't a big fan of, but #6 and #7 still had some solid stuff going for them. I still wanna see Rent. |

Dancer in the Dark is best by a mile, follwed by Moulin Rouge which is close behind. Scalely speaking. |

Yeah there is no Dancer in the Dark on there. DITD, Moulin Rouge! and Hedwig. Of the choices listed above, add Chicago. |
