I'm not one who likes musicals. I think songs are more an interruption when they're preformed, kill the flow.
Thinking about those I liked, Annie, Porgy and Bess didn't seem like interruption, they seemed to fit the mood.

The marriage of figaro. I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream.

Though they are I don't think of operas as musicals.

What kind of musical theatre was Seneca the Younger into when you guys were kids down by the aqueduct?
But seriously, does The Lion King count? Les Mis? |

They do. The smart ass preface says a lot about you and it's not good. You're not privy to the chosen few.

I haven't seen a ton. But I'm an Avenue Q nut.
I liked Book of Mormon, though not as much as so many. Liked AQ a lot more.
And Hamilton......well, maybe when I get a ticket in 20 years I can judge.
Did like In the Heights too, by Lin-Manuel Miranda but part of that too is that when I first moved to Inwood, he was putting up flyers in a cafe where we were eating for one of his productions; so the local boy makes good angle probably made me more eager to like something. |
