I love the phantom of the opera.
However The soundtrack is quite repetitive.
Le's Miserables has the best soundtrack i have ever heard on any musical.

Phantom6, just a heads-up, I think you mean 'score' rather than 'soundtrack.' I know what you mean, but a lot of members get a bit snippy about words being used incorrectly.
My favorite musical is Spamalot, but my favorite score is Les Miserables.

snark, snark, snark...
to answer your question, Phantom6, at the moment my favorite is Light in the Piazza. I love the score, I love the story & I loooove Victoria Clark. I'm also a big Wedding Singer fan.
and I agree with Schmerg. watch your terminology - BWW posters can be pretty snippy.

West Side Story is my all time favorite.
Jekyll and Hyde I think is very awesome in a dark romantic way.

Posted: 1/31/09 at 10:35pmWell, for you Schmerg, my favorite musical would be too tough to pick just one, but I think my favorite musical theatre score of all time is Kiss Me, Kate.

Miss Saigon. I know it's not the best musical, but it is and ever shall be my favorite. 
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Aww, well, thank you! 
I like Kiss Me Kate, but the song "Too Darn Hot" has been ruined for me for a few reasons that I'm sure most posters here will understand.

Posted: 1/31/09 at 10:40pmIt's the same reason I can't listen to "The Boy Friend" anymore. "Won't You Charleston with Me?" makes me want to vomit.
