Find the 1987 edition, it's my favorite, but if you have a chance to go see it live, do so.
Seeing live theater is an underrated recreational activity in general. The only people I know who dislike it are humungous faggots
>>65814754
I prefer the 84 one
yes
hell yes
so many killin' songs
I'm a Sweeney Todd guy myself.

>>65814820
You mean 1985?
>>65814970
YEah british
>>65814985
Yeah, I started with the 87 Broadway record maybe that's why I prefer it, well as being a yank myself
It's the plebbiest musical of all time. Literally the Queen/Shawshank Redemption of musicals

thanks for stopping by and contributing. what are your patrician picks, anon?
Is the original 1970 Jesus Christ Superstar patrician
>>65815465
Andrew Lloyd Webber is a talentless hack
>>65814292
Saigon is better.
>>65814754
just saw it on broadway a couple weeks ago, it's a really awesome musical. if you're ever in New York and get the chance to see it, definitely go.

>There are people who like the Phantom of the Opera
Stop.
>>65816816
I can't stand the Phantom of the Opera. Even fuckin' Cats is better than it.

>>65814292
Le Mis sucks though
>>65815084

I liked the movie, but i'm a pleb who's never seen/heard it before that.
When I was in high school chorus, I had to listen to faggot normies sing stuff from this musical everyday. I'm gonna go with no.
>>65815465
I only like ALW when he's doing bible stories JCS and Joseph are both amazing for completely different reasons.
>>65817557
Does that make La bohème the plebiest opera?
>patrician
Well it's one of the most famous musicals ever, so that alone takes away patrician status. Musicals in general can't be patrician (inb4 rock operafags)
>>65819667
>the plebiest opera
what is Carmen
>>65817557
Musically it's not great and the plot is too melodramatic to take seriously. Of the musicals I've heard it's the worst.

You're making the bait too obvious. You should have just said:
>Musicals in general can't be patrician (inb4 rock operafags)
It's more believable and will still get butthurt responses.
Les Mis is one of my favourite books ever. I've never seen the musical performed live, I've only seen the 2012 film adaptation of the musical and it was pretty good. I don't know if you can call something immensely popular and very accessible "patrician," but as far as a story goes it's great and I highly recommend the book to anyone looking for something to add to their reading list.
>>65819932
Do you mean Rent or Les Mis? I've never seen Rent.
>>65820363
Rent. I've heard the cast recording which I didn't like and I'm not really interested in seeing it performed. It has a few good songs but a lot of crap. Some of the stuff (like the "Tune up" tracks) are just fucking abominable.
>>65820363
yeah i was gonna say this, the book is great.
