Top 10 European Musicals (non-English)

[@anna.evanna]

I admire the fact that the European musical scene has been thriving happily for so many years without existing in the popular culture at all. And it's so incredible!

[@FidesAla]

Without existing in American popular culture, you mean. Same goes for Asian musicals. Japan and Korea do all the European ones, but so far, original Asian musicals have been treated by even Europe the way that European ones have been treated by Broadway.

[@optibond2660]

I love that sooooo much

[@arlekino0792]

Elisabeth is a masterpiece of a musicals world. The concept, the story, the songs, like it was written specificaly for me.

[@fallforasong]

Love your list

[@juliak412]

Lionne, to be completely honest, I've never really felt drawn to Broadway musicals, yet European ones get me every single time. I don't know, maybe I just have not yet discovered a good broadway one. I thought Romeo et Juliette would be put on the first place too :D Glad I was wrong, Elisabeth deserves all the love: the acting, the costumes and the camera work in the 2011 version of it is indescribable. Pity not a lot of people know of this masterpiece.

[@0Lionne0]

@@juliak412 Of course it's a matter of taste. :) I agree, it would be great if Elisabeth would be acknowledged more, but when I see how they ruined Tanz der Vampire on Broadway, I don't know if I want English speaking countries to discover it. ;)

In Tanz der Vampire Alfred (the professors assistent) is accually the main character. It was confirmed by the the writers and if you look at how the story moves, Alfred is in nearly all of the scenes. Just wanted to say that.

The swedish musical Kristina is a masterpiece. Written by the men from ABBA. Sadly there are no bootlegs, but the soundtrack is gorgeous.

[@AnntheTheatreFan]

Wow! It's so great to see "Monte Cristo" appreciated❤ It was one of my first live musicals, definitely remains among my favourites, and one of the best original Russian musicals. Seen it just last month once again😂 "István, a Király" is amazing! Seen it in Budapest couple of years ago, very powerful experience. And all the german and austrian productions of course are just the best. In fact I haven't suspected that so many of my favourite musicals are European 😅

[@wassa1213]

This list is really good and I'm pleased that a musical from my country (Russia) is also there. But I don't think Monte Cristo is the best russian musical. It is far not as spectacular as The count Orlov, IMHO. It was made by the Moscow Operetta too and mostly the same actors act there. But the best musical in Russian in my opinion is Nord-Ost. Songs, dansing, acting and decorations are perfect. Nord-Ost was really popular in 2001, but in 2002 there was a terrorist attack with lots of victims. The musical has not been restored since that, but you can watch it on KZbin.

[@mnstrmisha]

I personally like the ST Petersburg version of Dumas “Monte Christo” WAY more. It’s called ”The Count of Monte-Christo” centers around the same story/book.

I've just found out that it was directed by Kero, the director of the Hungarian version of Romeo et Juliette.

Wow, everything wrong with European ATTEMPTS at musicals in less than 10 minutes. Acting on amateur ADHD levels. Overemotive singing, is every character gay, overblown sets and costuming without style, accuracy (why is it always history by way of the BDSM or drag store design?), mistaking tumbling for choreograpy. Composers that never went beyond the Andrew Lloyd Webber JCS/Phantom/Cats 1.01 - everything has to be loud, forget about subtlety. The further east one goes the worse it gets. Though France isn't much either, at least they can put on a great Sondheim in Paris. You want a good European musical, try Annie M. G Schmidt. And why do everal Mozart musicals with totally sub par music ? where they trying to insult Mozart, not like he didn't write enough hits that would have made way better and more appropriate numbers. Murdering Shakespeare? West Side Story this ain't. After good musicals/shows, one of the best things is watching the shipwreck of a bad show. Bad theatrical choices, this should be taught in Theatre schools around the world.
