Ooh, a moderately easier question! 1. Elisabeth (my first foreign language musical) 2. Phantom of the Opera/Love Never Dies 3. Les Mis 4. Repo! The Genetic Opera 5. Romeo et Juliette 6. 3 Musketiers 7. Rent 8. Lion King (My childhood favorite) 9. Dracula (Wildhorn version) 10. Wicked (Haven't seen yet, but it's coming to my city in the fall!) 'Mozart l'Opera Rock' will probably make this list once I see/hear more of it. Ditto! Well, I prefer Du bist meine Welt and Die Fäden in der Hand... but still, lovely music. 'Dracula' and 'Rudolf' are the only Wildhorn productions I'm really familiar with. Based on clips I've seen, I think I prefer his music to the actual staging of his shows, if only because he favors minimalistic sets and overly romantic plots. Still, when he's good he is really good. Umm, can someone please post a Youtube link of him? I'm afraid I don't know who he is... but if he's getting this sort of praise I definitely want to hear him sing!

I know both those songs. Anthony Warlow -- My absolute favorite musical theater actor ever! Not to over sell things. Montage of different clips: "I Need to Know" from Jekyll and Hyde: He's hugely talented. He can sing both tenor and baritone. He can do both comedy and drama. You'd never recognize him for the same person, even his voice, between some of his rolls. I swear his Enjolras in Les Mis scares me and then he'll be hamming it up the next minute ( see here, after the song -- YouTube). He has incredible vocal power and vocal stamina. His "This is the Moment" ( YouTube)-- that final note. I swear the man has two sets of lungs.

Wow! Anthony Warlow sounds amazing. I've listened to a few songs from Jekyll and Hyde and they were really nice but This is the moment was the only one that (in my opinion) really stood out.

Thanks so much for sharing those clips! I see what you mean about him having 'two sets of lungs'! What an incredible voice. Has he released any solo CDs?
Oversell as much as you want. I'm just as bad when it comes to John Barrowman. ;D
That should be what our next Top 10 is! Top 10 favorite Musical Theatre Performers. Who wants to start? (Or have we done something like this already?)

I don't care if its been done before.... I'll do this one when I get around to it. They probably won't be in order as this changes even more than my favourite song. Philip Quast Alfie Boe (Not really a musical star as such but he did Les Mis) Idina Menzel Kristin Chenoweth Kerry Ellis Uwe Kroger Maté Kamaras Pia Douwes Rachel Tucker Drew Sarich

What about favourite songs from a certain musical. If you have ten, put them in order, if you can't think of ten only write as many as you think are your true favourites. (Elisabeth) 1) Wenn ich Tanzen Will 2) Prolog 3) Ich Gehor nur Mir 4) Elisabeth, mach auf meine engel 5) Act 1 finale 6) Am Deck der sinkenden Welt 7) Die Schatten Werden Langer 8) Der Schleier Fallt 9) Eljen! 10) Kitsch
