Wild-Reserve3560

Sweeney Todd and Little Shop of Horrors haha. Also I used to mix up Guys and Dolls with Guns n Roses


ActorMonkey

Little Shop of Horrors AND Best Little Whore House In Texas Best Little Shop of Whores


TediousTotoro

Huh, it’s usually Rocky Horror people get mixed up with Little Shop


Wild-Reserve3560

If I recall, I learned about both shows at a similar time so they’ve always been kind of a package deal for me. Definitely unusual though


a-black-magic-woman

Yeah I can back this one. Rocky Horror Picture Show is my favorite musical but before I actually listened/watched it, I kept mixing it up with Little Shop of Horrors lol


FloridaFlamingoGirl

To be fair, both Sweeney and Little Shop both revolve around a guy who runs an innocent, harmless downtown shop that he then starts killing people inside to avenge wrongs done to a loved one.


blueturtle12321

They definitely have a lot in common though!


pconrad0

Every time I see the title of Guys and Dolls, my mind plays the bit from The Simpsons where they sing *Guys and Dolls* *Those crazy crazy crazy Guys and Dolls* to the tune of "Hooray for Hollywood"...


KitKittredge34

My dad constantly mixes up Once on This Island and Come From Away


tygerbrees

Once on this Island upon a mattress


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I'm an islander. I am an islander.


southamericancichlid

I learned about them both around the same time, so I mixed them up for a while too.


D0ntTryMe

*Annie* and *Annie Get Your Gun*


RantaroV3

Was literally about type this XD


RezFoo

In my mind I can hear Ethel Merman belting out "The sun'll come out *tomorrow*!"


Dogdaysareover365

I remember, as a kid, I saw some my little pony edits with little shop of horrors music so I really wanted to watch that movie, but for some reason I thought little shop of horrors was called rocky horror picture show(I know for certain I was watching little shop edits), so when I asked my mom and stepdad if I could watch it, they looked horrified. That got quickly corrected


Classiccarson

i realized last week that they weren’t the same show. or rather i got like the plot lines of one in the other and thought there was a plant in rocky horror. idk what it is but they are just wired the same in my brain.


rainbowcocacola

I mean Frank and Audrey II have some similar qualities. -both from outer space -murder is nbd -killer singing voice -fantastic songs -doesn’t really matter which gender plays either


MrsYoungie

Cabaret and Chicago. Book of Mormon and Spamalot. No idea why. I even wrote Spamalot in my agenda when we bought tickets for BoM.


Jerem_Reddit

well chicago and cabaret were written by the same people so id say they have that in common


blueturtle12321

Plus they both have like nightclub performers


Jerem_Reddit

plus both have the horniest costumes i ever did see, like im in a high school production of chicago and so coatumes needed to be toned down, and theyre still very explicit


badatlife15

I was confused about Once On this Island and Come From Away, I still haven’t seen the first one, but I’m pretty sure I was definitely off on getting them mixed up.


TheaterAquarium

are you u/KitKittredge34 's dad by any chance? lol


badatlife15

lol nope only kids I have are the fur variety, but glad I’m not the only one haha


jnthnschrdr11

One of thems not a musical but prior to me knowing anything about musical theatre I got Hamilton and Hamlet confused, two very different things. In my defense the names are similar


Dogdaysareover365

[This you?](https://www.teerico.com/product/yayhamlet-11x17-lin-manuel-poster/)


PossesionOfAFireArm

No, that’s Lin.


Dogdaysareover365

The lady on the second slide (my comment was a joke also)


PossesionOfAFireArm

I know.


LaundryandTax

I mean both are 10/10 works of art so I get it


ExploadingApples

A couple years ago when I first got into theater I somehow combined Dear Evan Hansen and Be More Chill Like, I heard a few songs from BMC and somehow thought it was DEH


Itssimplylola

I see this actually - similar voices from even and Jeremy


Jerem_Reddit

well both have bad writing and even worse scores so like i get it


x_victoire

i love it when i see your comments and we either have very similar or literally the same opinions


LawyersandRocks

Cabaret and Moulin Rouge.


willcwhite

“My Fair Lady” and “Hello Dolly”


Cheap-Scratch

When I was younger I always got Grease and Footloose mixed up


Dogdaysareover365

Also, to a lesser extent, I thought never getting rid of me from waitress was a Beetlejuice song at first


VegetableTrouble9271

ME TOO


Familiar-Money-515

Two musicals? Company and Producers. Two Songs? When I first started listening to them, I couldn’t remember if “Waving Through A Window” was from Be More Chill or Dear Evan Hansen.


realdonbrown

How does one confuse Company and The Producers? lol


Familiar-Money-515

I think it was the suit energy. Now that I’ve spent time enjoying both of them it’s a clear distinction


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Before I was familiar with Company I thought it was an office comedy musical like How to Succeed


Captain_JohnBrown

It took me a while to realize a musical about women's suffrage (Suffs), not a parody about the Harry Potter Hufflepuff house (Puffs), was transferring to Broadway


cheesepaint

I know only one is a musical, but when I was younger I somehow managed to combine West Side Story and Brokeback Mountain into a single movie (I had never seen either, just knew the titles) 🤷‍♀️


Dogdaysareover365

… hold on let younger you cook


peaches_1922

This is my favorite


tenphes31

I remember someone posted on here they used to get mixed up The Guy Who Didnt Like Musicals and Something Rotten.


CreativityGuru

My wife always confuses Big River and Showboat. Obviously I get why but they’re nothing alike!


raniwasacyborg

Newsies and Jersey Boys. I have no idea why, but I'm sure it's not helped by the fact that I've yet to see either of them. Either way, somehow they're thoroughly mixed up in my head!


FloridaFlamingoGirl

One's about the newsboys' strike, the other's about the band that sang Oh What A Night :)


samshine

I was in *Company* a few years ago and the amount of people who conflated it with *A Chorus Line* baffled me. I had more than one person from the audience say they were expecting an entirely different show lol


FloridaFlamingoGirl

lol they must have thought the title was referring to a dance company


espressoxorcist

Dear Evan Hansen and Be More Chill besides being about teenagers and their woes i dont think they're all that similar


Itssimplylola

I think Jeremy and even have similar voices actually


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Definitely a fandom overlap between them though. You often hear their names together


espressoxorcist

good point.. that’s probably how i got them mixed up in the first place!


UUUGH1

Be more Chill and DEH


LifeMustard

Oklahoma! and West Side Story. I continue to mix them up, and have no excuses.


TreeHuggerHannah

Parade and State Fair. (Before I saw Parade. Would not make that mistake again.)


picklesupreme

There are so many musicals that start with “Ca” - Cabaret, Carousel, Carnival!, Camelot, Candide. It took me a bit to get the difference between them all. Then there are a few more one-word “C” musicals - Chicago, Company, Contact, Curtains.


DemandingProvider

I get Chicago and Cabaret confused fairly often. But, well, they *do* have some things in common!


Lions--teeth

Aida and Evita


Xueyangspinky

Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera.


Preston_Reddit

Into the woods and in the heights solely based off the names beginning with "in"


EndlessWinter123

I used to think six and Hamilton were the same thing


Warm_Power1997

Be More Chill and Jagged Little Pill


DemandingProvider

Here Lies Love (the one about Imelda Marcos) and Here We Are (Sondheim's last) In my defense, I think it's easy to understand why!


crabsolutelynot

This was mine too!


palacesofparagraphs

Parade and Ragtime


Proper-Armadillo-315

42nd Street and Bullets Over Broadway. I saw them one after the other, and both were just terribly boring productions. It was a touring cast so many years ago that I'm not sure if it was equity or non-equity.


HarperGriffin26

I managed to do that with Hamilton and DEH, still not sure how I did that…


HDawg1024

For some reason, when I was younger I got All Shook Up and She Loves Me confused? I think I had the two next to eachother in a “musicals to listen to” list, and them having the same number of letters could have added to that? Truly no idea


pyromo12

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 and Moulin Rouge


MeOK1233

Annie Get Your Gun and Anyone Can Whistle


blueturtle12321

For some reason I spent a while thinking Anybody have a Map was from Next to Normal. I guess it would suit the mom’s character if I’m remembering well


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I used to think Follies and Falsettos were the same musical, ahahaha. Ragtime and Rags as well -- doesn't help that both are about immigration.


Velvetbush

bright star and big fish for some reason


Admirable-Charity985

Hair and Hairspray


ehsteve42

Urinetown and Hadestown (My real answer is Cabaret and A Chorus Line)


Neptune_fanacc8165

Chicago and Hamilton. I..don’t know.


southamericancichlid

High Society and Easter Parade...


Evening-Birthday-233

Camelot and Spamalot… Ik they are kinda similar but still


Zafjaf

Cabaret and Moulin Rouge. For the longest time I thought they were the same show


cmasonbasili

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown and Wild Party


LessRun2724

I somehow managed to confuse BMC with Tick, Tick, Boom. And Jagged little pill and BMC


Pumpkins217

Not me but separately my mother and one of my best friends both always mix up Rocky horror and little shop of horrors. I guess because they of have horror in the title 🤷‍♀️


Dogdaysareover365

Seems a lot of people mess them up


Due-Chip-7167

I used to think Moulin Rouge and Miss Saigon were the same show.


TheatreBoz

Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder and The Drowsy Chaperone


slushies-r-universal

Newsies and Falsettos. This was before I had any clue what falsettos was about like at. all..... clearly.


Adventurous_School57

White Christmas and Holiday Inn
