Hi, Peter!
Head over to Talking Musicals (http://www.talkingmusicals.com) and in the "General" category, you can see my complaints about Chitty. I grant you, it was only second preview, so I'm hoping some things get better.
But I want to emphasise that in spite of what I say, it was cute and amusing and I'm going to go back again just because Richard O'Brien rocks and when else will I get to see Rocky Horror Man be hissed at by a theatre of children? *g*

I'm afraid that I'm one of those people who has been viewing but not posting mesages, so I'd thought I'd say 'hi' here. I've only managed to see MFL once a few weeks ago with Jo Riding; student finances are a bit tight at the moment!
I have the same problem as Peta - I loved the show, but don't listen to the CD so much as I do other shows. It's not that the performances are bad, but I have to be in a certain mood if I am just going to listen to the music.
Favourite musicals are The Witches of Eastwick and Martin Guerre (incidently, are there a few names from (the now defunct) Centerstage MG board here?). I'm hoping that Chitty and Bombay Dreams are going to be good . . .

I think it would be easier to name the musicals I didn't like! I just love musicals! I have so many on cd and I see about one every month. Some one once said 'music speaks where words can't' and I truly agree with that! Just watch 'Moulin Rouge'. Other than being a feast for the eyes (how can Baz Lurman not be nominated for the best director oscar?) it upholds everything I believe about love, and the music catches the true emotion better than words. Say the lyrics and they sound daft, sing them and they wrench at your heart strings!...and the 'look my dear, a little frog' moment is hysterical! LOL!
P.S. Bravo Nicol! Your ditty is v.good!

Braxclax. Great username!
I always happy to talk Chess. I think it's a brilliant show. JCS too.

| I think my all time favourite is Les Miserables. I can listen to it over and over. With My Fair Lady I enjoy watching it on stage, but I don't play the CD a lot.

Thanks:-)
If you do make it this weekend, I'd be interested to read your review. I'm waiting now until Alex joins. You think you've got it hard, try a 15 minute bus journey, 4(+) hours on the train and a half hour walk or two tube changes...
Peta, I can never answer the question about favourite musical because it changes with the weather, my mood and the particular cast and production. But My Fair Lady is up there, along with Candide, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Mis, Chess etcetera etcetera etcetera. How about you?

LOL! Brilliant.
In response to Peta's question, no, my favourite is Les Mis, and I regret to say I haven't made it back over to MFL yet. In my defence, it entails a long walk home in the middle of the night or else the use of three different tube lines, which would take just as long and be just as tiring.
I'm looking into tickets tomorrow for this weekend, though, since it should be a bit warmer.
I love MFL because Pygmalion is one of my favourite plays, and MFL fills in some of the gaps in scenes, plus it's often easier to find a production of MFL than to find a production of Pygmalion.

Ha Ha. That's very clever. And it got me posting:-) Lets keep the
conversation going. Is my Fair Lady your favourite musical?

Seems
Lots of �fans of MFL check here
But if no-one posts we'll disappear
What a pity no-one's feeling witty
Bet this ditty too will be ignored
At the gate are all the mouses
Waiting for the cue to run away
What a gripping, absolutely ripping
