As we were discussing the awesomely Broadway-tastic GAP commercial starring Claire Danes and Patrick Wilson, the following exchange occurred:
Me (7:51:42 PM): CURLY!!!
Me (7:51:46 PM): on broadway!!!
Frau (7:52:11 PM): oh the curly
Frau (7:53:10 PM): would you say he's the best musical romantic hero?
Which got us thinking. Who are the Top Ten Musical Romantic Heroes? Being the absolute nerd I am, I perused the annals of musical theatre and composed the following list. A few requirements:
-Romance must be involved, whether it's a happy ending or not.
-Exceptionally selfish reasons get you kicked off the list (ie. Sir Percy Blakeney)
-The musical must have been performed on Broadway (my regrets to Newsies,
State Fair and Daddy Long Legs).
- The actions of the Romantic Male Lead must fulfill the "awwwww" factor.
The Top Ten Musical Romantic Heroes
1. Curly- Oklahoma
2. Seymour- Little Shop Of Horrors
3. Tommy- Brigadoon
4. Sky Masterson- Guys 'n' Dolls
5. Arthur, Lancelot- Camelot
6. Caracatus Potts- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
7. Petruchio- Kiss Me, Kate!
8. Oscar Lindquist- Sweet Charity
9. Sir Harry- Once Upon A Mattress
10. J. Bowden Hapgood- Anyone Can Whistle
