You may hate musicals... theatre... moview. .. TV. .. I'm looking you buff. .. or even Doctor who and the pirates"...
Buts what's your favourite 3.
I've a huge soft spot for little shop of horrors... and the usual rocky horror... but I still know most of the words to sound of music....
Does pink floyds the wall count as a musica? Or war of the worlds?

My Fair Lady
West Side Story
I wouldn't call the Wall / War of the Worlds musicals, more concept albums, though the line is a bit thin (eg Evita started as an album as far as I recall). If we wanted to go concept albums I could list 100s!

If you are talking film then my top favorites are: Singing in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I and My Fair Lady.
If you are talking the actual stage shows then probably Les Miserables, Wicked, and the Phantom of the Opera.
Recently I do really love Hamilton too.

Chess
Blood brothers
Les mis
Notable mention for Disney's hunchback of Norte dame (movie)
Plenty of others I like, in fact I love musicals would be easier to say the ones I don't like......
Its a musical from something rotten is a really funny summing up of musicals......

It's difficult thinking of anything outside of Doctor Who and the Pirates that I've seen or heard recently, but Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds sticks out for me. Concept album or no, the whole thing freaked me out as a kid. I still remember the track Thunder Child, you're heart's racing, your mind willing the old warship to face off against the Martian tripods. Outmanned, outmatched, outgunned, she screams resistance. It's a hopeless struggle, but you can't help but cheer for her. You want her to win as the decks splinter into matchwood, her crew turning to flaming wraiths, its frame carven to an inferno of molten slag beneath the invader's weapons. She's the last final breath of a defiant human race, crashing beneath waves of sea spray and smouldering heat.

Guys & Dolls. I was just a little kid when I saw it, and it was a local production at our high school, but it was the first time I'd ever seen a live performance in a theater and I'm still sentimental about it for that reason. Plus, I love what Damon Runyon does with the English language.
Les Miz, because my wife introduced me to it when we were dating and it was the first broadway show I ever saw.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show, because it's so delightfully bonkers.

Phantom Of The Paradise. Also one of my favourite DePalma films. It's a truly great musical.
Will echo Cabaret and add Fosse's All That Jazz - a gut puncher. Also partial to The Music Man.

I'm glad someone mentioned the album Chess, the original record from the 80s has long been a favorite of mine, heck I have it on both vinyl and CD.
As for movies, while I generally don't like musicals, The original Blues Brothers movie is a big favorite of mine.
Also, when I was a kid back in the early 80s when I somehow latched onto the 1970 musical version of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge, with Albert Finney and also featuring David Collings, who I didn't even realize til years later would appear more than once in Dr Who. |

Along with War of the Worlds I've a soft spot for Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Of course there's the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, the second side (from when we had vinyl) of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by the Small Faces, the obvious Dark Side and Wall by Floyd, Homo Erraticus by Ian Anderson and even last year's The Machine Stops by Hawkwind |

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

It's hard to pick a top three... For the stage musicals, I love Hamilton, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, The Lion King. For the movie versions I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, Les Mis, Singin' In the Rain, Grease, Oliver!, Rent. For TV, it's gotta be Once More With Feeling.
There's probably plenty more that are slipping my mind right now, but those are the ones that come to mind right away.

I love the album and I'd love to see a full production of The Black Rider.
