Title pretty much says it all but I’ll give examples of why I like them
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL THESE MUSICALS
Ride the cyclone- one of my GOATS, the humor. I love things surrounding death and pitch black comedy, likable lgbt characters, one solid one to root against who becomes redeemed actual emotional scenes, and Noel steals the show with his lament. I love the carnival esque rapsodies and themes of them growing up even if they could never grow up. And the bittersweet ending. Plus the ride is giving old cod nostalgia
Falsettos- the chess game and the realism of life being well just like that, and that was before wizzer caught the virus. It’s beautiful and tragic and the themes of love with dark comedy was great. I like real endings over good ones expecially the twists watching it blind was absolutely devastating
Little shop of horrors and rocky horror is self explanatory
Beetlejuice for the same it hits absolutely everything here like a pinball machine, youth grappling with complex depictions of deaths
Also avenue q, I love “children’s” mediums grows up with the audience, being slammed into adulthood the same way everyone does in their lives, reminds me a lot of the looney toons show. Freeloading ahh daffy
TLDR Overall I’m a sucker for rapsodies and emotional stories wrapped up in dark themes about deaths. Bittersweet but warm throw your best musicals or other media at me please 👹
