Description
This in no way represents all the musicals I have ever seen (whether I've viewed them live on stage right in front of me, through a film adaptation or fan-recorded clips on Youtube) just the one's whose soundtrack I own. And also are stage plays, not certain special tv episodes or web creations!From top to bottom: Avenue Q, Beauty and the Beast, Cabaret, Chicago, Grease, Hairspray, Jekyll and Hyde, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Les Miserable, Lestat. Little Shop of Horrors, Lord of the Rings, Oliver!, The Phantom of the Opera, The Producers, Starlight Express, Sunset Boulevard, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, We Will Rock You, Wicked.
There's a video that goes with all this as well. Check it out here: [link]

I love them, especially the Sweeney, Phantom, Wicked, and Jekyll&Hyde ones!

Amazing! I recognized almost all of them.
Say, LotR had a musical?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! It didn't last very long though, a couple of months at least although I think the creators are hoping for a revival sometime in the future.
I think the original show was too expensive and complicated to keep running for long.

Well, I don't blame them. Those books are HUGE.

This is brilliant!
I love the Joseph and the Jekyll and Hyde ones!

Thanks very much! Surprisingly the Joseph one didn't take very long considering all the detail on his coat!

You're welcome!
I'd hate to think how long the longest one took!

haha this is pretty epic. I love how you did The Producers, Avenue Q and Hairspray. xD But all of them are great of course! <3

i love this! i also love how Kate Monter's face is like 'oh hell no bitch.' also love how Max and Leo's faces just scream 'we're so screwed.'
i was able to tell all of these, except for Lestat, LotR, and Starlight Express, mainly because i didnt know Lestat and LotR had been made into musicals and i have never heard of starlight express. this is great!
π: 0 β©: 1
Glad you love the faces!
Lestat only lasted a month on Broadway and LotR, I think about four months in the West End so I'm not surprised if no one's heard of them but... never heard of Starlight Express...?
Actually, to be fair, due to the play being performed entirely on rollarskates, Starlight Express requires a very specific stage for the actors to race around on. It can't just be performed anywhere which is largely why it stayed in one theatre in London for 15 years! It eventually attempted a touring run a few years ago which I saw but it was a largely diminished show with the train races being played on a movie screen rather than being performed live right in front and all around you.
Ooh, someone has one of the races on Youtube! Take a look and you'll see what I mean about the stage: [link]

Enjoying the fact that you placed Grease,Hairspray,and Joseph closely together;seeing as those are three of my fave musicals ever.
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually arranged them all in alphabetical order so the grouping is a happy, colourful coincidence!
π: 0 β©: 0
Well I don't know 10% of those, but I'm faving it 'cause the art is marvelous. Again I love the way you portray the chars' emotions.

Needs moar Spamalot, other than that, perfect.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've never seen Spamalot hence the lack of it but thanks anyway!

Oh well, never mind then, my bad

The "Les MisΓ©rables" one is made of lol - and that for a musical that honestly made me cry!
I didn't even know half of them - I have to listen to more musicals.
Oh, by the way, did I ever mention that your earlier fanarts got me into "Jekyll & Hyde"? So yeah, I did a little fansqueal at that one. That and "Sweeney Todd".
π: 0 β©: 1
Glad to hear it!
Yeah, I thought people would get a kick out of the Les Mis one!
π: 0 β©: 0
OK.
THIS IS MADE OF SO SO SO MUCH WIN I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF.
Like, seriously. Smilin' ear ta ear. This kinda made my night.
I guessed all of them but Lestat and We Will Rock You simply cause I haven't seen either. :/
And I am super duper uber happy you drew Sweeney Todd to resemble George Hearn. Just an extra thrown in piece of epic right there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!
Oh, yes, George Hearn truly scares me in the role of Sweeney Todd so there had to be a little influence there in the drawing!

Yuuuuuusss...!

I adore you so much right now for having Sunset Boulevard on there.
And I really enjoy your interpretations of the Avenue Q characters.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks very much!
I had to include Sunset Boulevard; it's secretive and rich, a little scary, you know!
π: 0 β©: 0
I'd be interested to see you do Seussical! XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I may have to pass on that as I know very little about Seussical the Musical other than it partly involves Horton, The Cat in the Hat and the Grinch. It's a bit of an extremely unknown production in the UK.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. That's fine!
I love the poses and expression throughout the peice!
π: 0 β©: 1
I've had a few suggestions about Spamalot but that's another one that I have to say, "Sorry, but I've never seen it!"
Darn, these shows costing so much money to see!
Thanks, anyway!

The only Broadway show I've seen is Wicked. I've also seen a few school/college/off broadway perfomances of shows like Cats, Guys And Dolls, Hairspray, Once Upon a Mattress...and of course I've seen movies of many more!
personally, just hearing a soundtrack of someting can help me understand something. I'd known the soundtrack for a year or two before I actually saw Wicked.
π: 0 β©: 1
Me too. I owned the Wicked CD for a couple of months before actually seeing the show. Lending said CD to a friend then convinced her to go see it as well!

it really is great music. Every time I hear it, I'm surprised once again by how clear Idina Menzel's voice is...
π: 0 β©: 0
I love this! I could tell what they all were except for sunset Boulevard... But that's because I've never seen it. Your style is awesome and the fact that I can tell what characters they are says amazing things about the artist. Great job!

Thanks very much for the kind words!

Guessed them all right! (Heh, such a nerd. 
Brava for including Lestat, Jekyll & Hyde, and We Will Rock You. Definitely three musicals that get overlooked.
These are amazing! Your cartoon style is so fantastic!
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't want to just include all the "obvious" musicals. There should be some of the "lesser known" ones in there as well for variety!
π: 0 β©: 0
Aaah, I got most of them right. <3 This is so awesome, Expression!
(Did I fansqueal at Jekyll and Hyde? Yes. Yes I did.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Perfectly understandable... It's Jekyll and Hyde!! Wooo!
π: 0 β©: 0
8D I was so proud of myself! I knew all of them except for Lestat, Sunset Boulevard, and We Will Rock You. ^^

Wooo! 17-out-of-20! Not bad!
