Choosing a favorite Broadway musical can be tough with so many incredible shows out there! Personally, one of my favorites is 'Les Misérables,' and I absolutely love the song 'One Day More.' The powerful vocals and emotional intensity of the ensemble cast always give me goosebumps.

The Lion King and The Circle of Life. The cast would be dressed in their animal costumes and parade down the aisle towards the stage and it was an exciting opening number.

This is going to be a weird answer but my favorite musical is one I haven't seen yet - Wicked. The songs alone make me cry and it's one of my biggest dreams to actually see it live one day and get the full experience. Mamma Mia is also one of my favorites, it's SO fun and everyone in it was great. Incredibly thankful that I got to see it in the West End before even seeing the movie.

I live musicals! I would love to see one live (Wicked is one that I definitely would love to see on Broadway) but i did love the local production of Matilda the Musical. However, my favorite musical is probably RENT, it's quirky with an important social message. My favorite song from that is probably “What You Own”

Hamilton and Chicago are probably my favourites. Hamilton definitely takes the cake though, I love every song but Cabinet meeting #1 is probably my favourite. I did recently see Mean Girls though and I did enjoy that one too, it was upbeat and fun.

One of my all-time favorites is Hamilton. The entire soundtrack is phenomenal, but if I had to choose, "My Shot" and "The Schuyler Sisters" are definitely at the top of my list. Another favorite musical of mine is Les Misérables. The song "One Day More" always gives me chills. :lol:

I have only seen one but I was left speechless.that is a lot for me since not a lot of things impress me because i have been travelling for most of my life and feel as though I have seen almost everything.Musicals seem so repetitive after a while but the one on Broadway enchanted me completely. :)

Ooh I love musicals! My favorites at the moment are Hadestown (cliched I know, but so good), Spring Awakening, and Sunset Boulevard. I also really like Next to Normal and Heathers. I'm pretty picky about my musicals. I've only gotten to see a few live, and none on Broadway, but I hope to soon.

I’ve seen a lot of broadway musicals. I think I’ve gone to see RENT like 11 times and I also really liked Saturday night fever. All their songs are catchy.

My best Broadway musical is Mary Poppins. My favorites songs there are A Spoonful of Sugar and Chim Chim Cher-ee.
