AWESOME GIVEAWAY: 2 Tickets to Chaplin the Musical

If there's one man who invented and then re-invented the movie business, it was the late, great Charlie Chaplin. His most well known character, the Little Tramp, has warmed his way into many a family's memories and hearts, but the little-known story behind the character is perhaps more intriguing, and ultimately more heartwarming than I ever could have thought.


The new show Chaplin: The Musical stars Rob McClure as the legendary silent film star and features a book by three-time Tony Award® winner Thomas Meehan (Hairspray, The Producers, Annie) and Christopher Curtis, and music and lyrics by Christopher Curtis. Everything from the costumes and make-up, to the set and the brilliant choreography contributes to one of the best new musicals I've seen in a while. The show had such an effect on me that when the curtain fell, I immediately went and added at least 10 Chaplin movies to my Netflix queue.

  4. The Great Dictator : because it took great chutzpah to produce that movie and to be the main actor in that movie.

  15. My favorite Chaplin movie is The Kid, because that was the first Chaplin movie my grandfather introduced me to. We always used to watch Chaplin movies together.

    My favorite Chaplin movie is The Pawn Shop just because they have so many interesting and funny gags per scene.

  23. The only time I recall ever watching a Chaplin movie was as a small child so sadly I can't say I have a favorite.
