When it comes to a word to word to proceed after “musical”, the word “comedy” fits the roll very well. Most musicals, despite their seriousness, usually still have a sense of humour. So, what is the funniest musical for you? Add it below!
#1 A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
#2 Two Gentlemen of Verona
Based on the Shakespeare COMEDY of the same name, the show was destined to be funny from the start winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1972.
#3 Into the Woods
Though clearly has a darker side to it, James Lapine shows his comedic side with hilarious one liners and one of the greatest 4th wall breaks in Broadway history.
#4 Falsettos
Though tragic, Falsettos knows how to make people laugh and all performers make use of their talent to enhance the comedy of the lines and lyrics.
#5 Avenue Q
While most shows express comedy through wit and puns, Avenue Q shows its comedy through innuendos and relatability as spoken by puppets.
#6 The Book of Mormon
Satire is one of the funniest things in today's society. So when it is religious satire, people will love it! And as a bonus to this, it's written by the creators of South Park!
#7 A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder
In my opinion, British comedy is the best comedy, so this show is a dream and with all the wit and charm you could wish for.
#8 #8 The Producers
For me, The Producers is an absolute gem. Who could possibly forget Leo's blue blanket moment, Max's scheming antics, and all those dancing old ladies?
#9 Legally Blonde
