Oh sheesh, I can't remember the name... was it Nunsense? It's got a song that goes like,
"We've got to clean out The freezer by tomorrow morning Cuz the Jersey board of health has sent the Final warning."
Given all the replies on the Buffy thread I'm surprised nobody has suggested the Buffy musical episode. Or Xena or whatever other show did a musical episode.

Well, it hardly seemed fair to compare common musicals with something as amazing as the Buffy musical episode...

My parents are big Lloyd Webber fans, and I loved "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" so "Cats" was a hit with the whole family. I also like: Les Miserables (of course) Fiddler on the Roof Tommy (not perhaps strictly a musical but hey) Grease (both movie and stage versions) Starlight Express (not that keen on the music but the roller skates rock!) Bombay Dreams Into the Woods
and movies: The Full Monty Oliver Evita (Antonio Banderas as Che is wonderful, Madonna much less so, I thought) Chicago My Fair Lady (oh and our school production of it rocked too)
I haven't seen, but like the songs from: Phantom Blood Brothers (is this a Brit thing, no one's mentioned it?) Miss Saigon and odd songs from A little Night Music, Cabaret and others - my housemate Lizzie is very into musicals so I know a lot of odd songs (all the ones she plays and sings regularly) without knowing the full musical.

amira, Blood Brothers is *very* British, and pretty obscure in even the theatre community. So, yes, that's probably why no one's mentioned it!
and Alicia, the musical you're thinking of with the leprechaun is Finian's Rainbow. "How are things in Glocca Morra...."

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Must see it. It's espically for or the sci-fi geeks out there. It was almost a cult show here for years with people going to a midnight performance dressed as there favorite characters I think you can get it on video...

Nobody remembers the leprechaun musical? AAAugh! I've been thinking all day and I do remember some of the music... "Look, Look, Look to the Rainbow" and "That old devil moon in your eyes..."
the answer to your question --that was given earlier on this page.
oh.

BtL, you're combining Finian's Rainbow and Finnigan's Wake -- the latter is decidedly NOT a musical with a leprechaun

Finian's Rainbow was silly and kind of weird, but it wasn't very good. On the other hand, it was the first Fred Astaire movie I ever saw.

It's amazing. It's got everything. Mormon polygamists. Cowboys (sort of). Fighting. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. And best of all, it's got Clint Eastwood singing a solo. ("I talk to the trees")
Okay, so it's also really cheesy. The Simpsons had a real point when they did a spoof of it. But it's still one of the greatest movie musicals ever. Seriously.

Yea guys... Finians Rainbow. Thank you! I knew you would help me. You are right tho, the movie was really dumb, but I saw a live production and it was so well done that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
