If you want a live show: “Wicked”  
If you want a movie: “The Wizard of Oz” (which I only recently consciously though of as a musical)

_Godspell_ is wonderful, particularly when performed by a college or high school group.

I generally hate musicals, and I am an atheist, yet I love _Godspell_! Go figure. It must be the music, then.

Godspell is awesome! And the young Victor Garber is just adorable.

Seriously. It’s got everything; comedy, drama, an orgy, blood and gore, love and hate, good and evil, and even zombies!

Oh, and the music _rocks_. Like, not Broadway-style rocks (which I love too), but Pete Townshend/Keith Richards/Jimi Hendrix rocks. 🙂
