The close thing was that recent version with Mel C and Tim Minchin a few years ago.

How was that one?

That ratio of God tier songs in any musical is absolutely insane.

Tim Minchin is a genius. Lin Manuel Miranda is overrated

>>80737615

Here's my musicals 3x3
Les Misérables - A Chorus Line - March of the Falsettos
Sunday in the Park with George - Assassins - Sweeney Todd
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying - She Loves Me - Passing Strange

>>80738926
Haven't seen
>Matilda
>Gentleman Guide
>Something Rotten
Avenue Q is fine but hasn't aged well, Spamalot is great,and in the heights is ok.Also Turn Off The Dark is patrician art.

>>80739003
nice taste lad

>>80738723
>Rent anything but shit tier.

>>80738723
Also,
>Parade, Spring Awakening or FUCKING PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
>in God-tier
>or anywhere higher than Assassins, Sweeney Todd or Les Mis to begin with.

>>80738523
>Heathers
I unironically believe this is a the best musical of the last 5 years and the fact that it didn't get a proper Broadway run is a fucking travesty

>>80739059

They only reprised it like twice.

It's not that bad

>mfw watching when I Grow Up live on stage for the first time

>>80739123
Sorry, Andrew Lloyd Webber is a hack and POTO is overrated as fuck.
Spring Awakening's songs are purple prose as fuck but it's a decent musical for what it strives to be.
Parade is alright but nowhere near God-tier.

>>80739009
What about Fun Home?

Is Sondheim /ourguy/?

>>80739173
Was it hard to type with Sondheim's cock in your mouth?

>>80739245
I mean, Sondheim's one of the greatest musical theatre composers of all time, so I have no problem rating his musicals higher than the schlock ALW makes.

>>80738027
You do realize the last one in these memes is ironic, right?

>>80739212
haven't seen. hear it was pretty gud.

>>80739284
shitty meme's aside he's written a lot of great stuff I agree (accept for passion) so yea as a composer he is better than ALW i'll meet you halway on that.

>>80739009
I heard Avenue Q for the first time a month ago and I think it's really special even among the musicals that have since arisen

I wonder how many of you were salty that Kinky Boots won Best Musical at the Tonys a few years ago

>>80739505
Musically it's fine but a lot of it is dated

avenue q shits all over hamiliton but in the heights in broadway kino

>>80739989
In the heights was just westside story but worse, shut the fuck up

>>80739505
avenue q ages like wine for me because as I get older the lyrics hit closer to home especially "for now". just last week it came on when I was listening to music via shuffle and it made me tear up.

>>80739571
some of the jokes for sure have aged bad but the heart of the show still shines bright

>>80740097
it was nothing like westside story the fuck you talking about? parallels exist but that's like saying angels in the outfield is the sandlot but worse

>>80740186
in the heights is pointless. I think its fine, it's the only show by Lin I actually kind of like, but it's absolutely pointless in a kind of comfy way i think.

>>80739284
>Makes a 2 shows that run for over 20 years
>both considered staples of American Musical History
>Calls him a hack
You Sondheim cucks never learn...

>>80740243
everything is pointless. what's your point? does everything need to have meaning?

in the heights shows how important family and open communication are. love and compassion and all that gay shit. it also showed you how that culture operates and approaches different situations. maybe I appreciated it more because I was able to relate to some of the struggles and because I'm a bean myself, but I'm also a huge fan of musicals in general and in the heights was a good musical.

plus the music was great.

>>80740540
>Cuz i'm a bean
that explains why you like it. thank you that'll be all

>>80740685
I liked it for many reasons. I don't even speak spanish.

>>80740540
>muh familia
>muh love and compassion
>muh diverse cast
fuck you.fuck musicals. fuck this gay ass thread. I'm going to shitpost about Batman V.Superman away from you gay musical loving beans.

>>80740186
This. I'm in college rn, and "wish i could go back to college" perfectly articulates all of the dread I have about graduation

>>80740824
didn't say a goddamn fucking thing about a diverse cast nor would that ever be a pro in my book.

and family is very important, anon. does your family suck or something? if so I'm sorry because having a loving family that will always be there for you is one of the great treasures in life.

>>80739571
I think that "if you were gay" perhaps is dated because that's such an ubiquitous idea now. However all the other shit is still relevant, and the existential shit like "purpose" "for now" and "I wish I could go back to college" is especially timeless.

>>80740944
"for now" is one of my favorite songs of all time but that "george bush!" line sticks out like a sore thumb

>>80740928
it's extremely generic is what it is. The show is literally watching beans you don't give a shit about running around. Lin's a winy little shit who i wished would just fuck off to wherever it was he was bitching about for the whole show but then autisticaly chickened out of going. Gay, poorly written and dishonest.

>>80741053
I'm sure any recent showings would replace Bush with Trump.

>>80741053
I thought of that as well. However when I heard that line recently I thought "well they were certainly right, he was temporarily president and now he isn't". I think that the George Bush line ages well in a sense, given the context.

>>80741453
bush jokes in general are kinda dated though lad. That's my only issue with the show, moments like that which stick out

>>80741154
I honestly can't remember usnavi almost having a gay moment or whatever it is you refer to. I'll have to rewatch it later. but if you don't care about the characters then of course you aren't going to like it for the plot/story. so I get that. but what did you think of the music? the performances? the blend of hip hop and spicy ethnic sasla type music?

it's okay that you don't like it. if you're still the same anon that called it a worse version of west side story then I'm still not sure you would call it that aside from a few overlapping things.

>>80741535
nah i'm the anon who freaked out an said he was gonna post about Batman V superman. I actually kinda like In the Heights. I've just been drunkenly shit posting this whole hthead and trying to rustle some jimmies. I'm going to fucking bed now man

>>80738640
Minchin is based

Revolting Children is so fucking good

>>80737615
Wow, those all suck. However Weill's Street Scene really needs a good film adaptation.

I'm cast as Mark in a production of Rent right now. Any of you AZT-popping buttfuckers have tips for playing this character well?

>>80743018
>playing a white man that gets cucked by a nigger

how fitting

Honestly, I just want ANY version of Shoggoth on the Roof.
It can be a movie, it can be a broadway production, I don't care.
I just really want it to happen.
