....Moulin Rouge.
Seriously. love that movie. Mock away.
And, 'Once.' I think that counts.
Also, now that I think about it, Spinal Tap should count.
Oh, and if we're being really flexible, then the musical episode of Scrubs, too. Why not.

You know how President Hinckley said he doesn't worry about those who pray? The same can be said for men who are self-aware enough to know when there's a life to be lived outside of the world of video games. - Anonymous

Fiddler on the Roof.

I love this musical. It is about traditions and old ways running up against new ways. Perchik coming back from University with new ideas then taking Hodel with him. Tevye having to let Tzietel marry the poor tailor for love rather than the rich merchant he has struck a deal with. Chava falling in love with a Russian soldier. The struggle that Tevye has to try to answer all of these challenges with what he already knows but finding that he must allow that he doesn't have the answers. He must find new ways. Ways to let his children go as well as his traditions (but not all).
The joy of a manly dance (I'm serious). Dreams of a little wealth. Dialogue with God. The love of ones spouse.
Oh, and a half a dozen songs that you walk away humming.
My favorite, and the one I know best.

Best musical? The Producers. That Hitler dude can be hilarious.
