Musical Sunday

I used to watch musicals with my roomates on Sunday afternoons and I decided this is a tradition I want to carry on with my family. A week ago Dan and I had "Musical Sunday" and he described it as demasculating although he stayed up to finish watching The Sound of Music after I had gone to bed. Both The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins were on tv and I was so excited. Am I the only one that grew up watching these movies? Any suggestions on great musicals to watch?

We just started watching musicals too! Of course my first suggestion is Fiddler on the Roof. My second is 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. I LOVE the dancing in that one!

Yeah for musicals!! I love My Fair Lady and Fiddler. A sad but brilliant musical is West Side Story. Also, don't miss Man of La Mancha...the music is great!

Ohhh I miss musical sundays. Mary Poppins was always a favorite. --Clear throat here--- Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down.
