I dislike musicals
 

What can I say. I really get bored with Musicals. After about three songs I start counting how many left...

I like them too :D Pirates of Penzance kicks ass

Few people have the attention spans for musicals (or live theater in general, assuming that's what you meant).

I like live theater. Musicals..not so much. Oh well. Wish the wife liked them like I liked them..but she seems to like them more..(oh yay! can we see Chicago AGAIN..)

I like musicals...in moderation. :) My favorite is Miss Saigon

The last one I saw was Rent I think.

I loooooooooooooooove musicals. I have the soundrack to Les Miserables, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Moulin Rouge and about 20 more. I actually got to see Miss Saigon in New York on Broadway. Highlight of my life. Into the Woods is my favorite on stage. Chicago and Moulin Rouge are my favorite movies. I was meant to be on stage.....alas...here sits another lonely housewife longing for the spotlight. *sigh*

Breaks out the spotlight...okkkkkk...audition time!!!! ;)

*whispers* community theater

love musicals here too....seen a lot of them including Les MIz 7 times (an 8th coming up this fall)

just saw Wicked last week - what an incredible show....

Gentlefolk,

I also enjoy Musicals. G&S are great! :)

I do too! Sondheim's "Into the Woods" is my fav! (With Bernadette Peters) I love it when the wolf sings "here little girl.... " ;)

I enjoy them though I've not seen many... I love Rent and have seen it several times... I've also seen Chicago on the stage... very good! Haven't been able to bring myself to see the movie.

*hijack alert* I generally enjoy theater... I loved Tap Dogs and STOMP! as well.

Like anything, I suppose it depends on which musicals. I always thought West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof were two of the best shows I ever saw and they were both musicals.

But, each person can choose ... that's what makes life fun. :)

A lot of traditional musicals I don't like. If someone were to do a stage production of some of Frank Zappa's concept albums, however.... :)

Surprise, surprise...I love musicals. Poor kleclere, though...every time I make him watch one with me, he tells me the same thing: "It would've been an okay musical if they hadn't put all that singing in there." :D

...akin to nails on a chalkboard lol

I don't mind if music is itegral to a subplot such as a musical show etc...but when folks break out in song during a love scene etc.....where do all the musical instruments come from????
To each their own....;)

Am afraid that the last musical I had the chance to enjoy was Music Man...


oHHHHH my is my age showing

The first musical I remember seeing as a kid was "Cinderella" with Lesly Ann Warren. I thought it was great and have loved musicals ever since, movie or stage.

My family, lucky for me, enjoys them as well and we usually see a couple of live productions every year. We have a great local theatre, where we saw Sandy Dunken in "The King & I" this past fall. And we're not to far from NYC. We used to go to Broadway every year for a show but the expense got kinda outta hand. We also have a terrific summer theatre that has drawn several big names.

So many great ones, Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Oklahoma, Sound of Music, Annie, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler on the Roof, Chicago, King & I, etc, etc.


Aus-Belial, have you ever seen "Tommy"? Great music. I think you'd like it. ;)

I caught Mr. Osuche singing to Miss Saigon one night.......and now I no longer believe him when he protests that musicals are girly. :D

Teddy Bear,

Forgot about that one! Good shot!

I still dislike musicals. But glad that so many other folks can appreciate them. They are works of art of I think.
