It's Official (in UK at least)

Just been watching many hours of the voting for top 100 musicals (film versions mainly) on our UK channel 4.

Some entries surprised me !

It was a wonderful set of progs - I was pleased (?horrified) at the number of shows I've done over many years. Many omissions of course, from my complete education.

I was astounded by the number of female lead voices were dubbed for songs ! eg Audrey Hepburn, Deborah Kerr etc.

Here's the page if anyone is interested.

I imagine that results were amassed from consumers (viewers) and not by participants. Who knows, the results may have reflected a somewhat different outcome.

(Let's not start another thread on best/worst shows)

Enjoy the results and have a Happy New Year.

Not only were many female leads dubbed, Marni Nixon was probably the voice for most of them. If you are at all interested, a Google search gives over 12,000 hits for this songbird of the loudspeakers behind that silver screen. And what a voice!

Regards,
John
