Must and "have to" can be often used interchangeably. (note, however, that must isn't used in the past tense)

You must/have to see the show.

In BrE, "must" is preferrred when expressing a person's wishes, as opposed to obligations that come from outside, for which "have to" is more common.

I must stop smoking. (I want to stop smoking)

I have to stop smoking. (
