An American in Paris 9. The Little Mermaid 10. Guys & Dolls I would have to add The Gang's All Here, if for no other reason, the insane Busby Berkeley/Carmen Miranda extravaganza The Lady in the Tutti Fruiti Hat. |
You're not gay if Cabaret isn't on your list. You're not a card carrying hag, either.

Alas, Cabaret is very far down on my runners-up list. I guess I need to watch it again ... it's been a long, long time (like, um, the original release long time).

I'm including it based on the strength of the work - the movie version may not be the best, but Sinatra is perfect as Nathan, even though he wanted to be Sky, and Nicely Nicely...Did very Nicely Nicely, thank you very much.
It's the dude-friendly musical. Plus, Nathan Detroit dodged getting married to Adelaide for just about as long as I stalled Melissa, so I totally relate to his character because we both got collared in the end. |

You know, much like I'm wouldn't put Guys and Dolls on the list simply based on the strength of the very-good material (because, among other things Marlin Brando is just BAD!) I wouldn't actually put Cabaret on a list of best stage musicals because of the strength of the film (because I think the material is actually much weaker than any number of other musicals.) But come to think of it, my list of best stage musicals ever would be very different than my movie musical list, and I'm not sure very many of the flicks would be on it. Movie musicals notoriously miss the boat (see Sweeney, Mame, Guys and Dolls, Phantom, Jesus Christ Superstar, etc) or the great stuff doesn't get adapted.
