I guess I like theater that rocks more than "traditional" theater. I think that Jesus Christ Superstar (when it rocks) is one of my most favorite shows ever, along with RENT and the various incarnations of The Rocky Horror Show. I know many will cringe, but I do find myself listening to the jukebox musicals - Rock of Ages, Million Dollar Quartet, and American Idiot are all quite good. Of course, having seen We Will Rock You with some of you on this board and quite a few Meat Loaf fans (Patti Russo will forever shine as a brilliant talent), this show will always hold a special place in my heart. I have recently been listening to The Bodyguard - The Musical and Sister Act - The Musical lately. I guess my tastes are unsophisticated, but I like what I like. Oh...Once On This Island is brilliant, along with Hedwig And The Angry Inch and as someone on here said, my guilty pleasure is also My Fair Lady.
