We are firm believers that a good musical education should include at least an introduction to some classic musicals.

These are the ones we've had our 12 year old daughters watch so far.

1. Sound of music
2. King and I
3. Camelot
4. My Fair Lady
5. Fiddler on the Roof
6. Phantom of the Opera
7. Chorus Line
8, South Pacific
9. West Side Story
10. Gypsey
11. Mame
12. Les Miserables
13. Music Man

Can you think of others?

Nice to see someone remembers South Pacific.

Funny Face
Annie
Meet Me In St. Louis
Guys and Dolls
Singin' in the Rain
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp. Though that one's not bad, either.)
Are they too old for the Muppet Movie? (I mean, I"m not, but I don't know about tweens.)

I can't believe you missed "Mary Poppins". Are they old enough for "Grease"? Maybe you could add my wifes favorite musical, "Carousel" to the list. Let me know if you want to see it, I'll send you her copy, lol!

Great ideas friends. Porgy and Bess is a good one.

All these movies are a way to get some history lessons in too.
Pajama Game too.

And nobody is too old for The Muppet Movie!
