La Cage aux Folles

God damn autocorrect.

 

I even checked it myself....thought it was “faux”....wrote the correct “folles”....ended up with “folds”

 

lmao. Some days, you just can’t win.

I failed miserably. I became so enthralled with the music and the talent I lost interest in identifying titles. ?

[+ WilliamM]

Ragtime

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

Certainly, Gypsy

 

Agreed.

 

I'd also say that the West Side Story is right up there as well. It's iconic music.

 

Ragtime, spot on.

 

My Fair Lady.

 

The King and I.

 

Crazy For You.

 

Okay, now I'm really just naming favorite overtures.

In my opinion one of the best overtures of all time.
