My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, West Side Story, South Pacific, & The King and I.
Here are my favorites:
The King and I (with Yule Brenner)
Evita – Madonna
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat – Donny Osmond
Chicago – Richard Gere, Rene Zelwigger (not suitable movie for young kids but its a fun movie)
Nightmare Before Christmas – Tim Burton movie
Little Mermaid – Disney
Sound of Music is by Rogers and Hammerstien, here’s a link to see all of the musicals they made in case you want to check out their stuff. For me I am more of an Andrew Lloyd Webber fan.
