| Musicals
Love them or hate them? I know people who will refuse to watch them on the gorunds that "all musicals are shite". Thoughts? I'm a huge sucker for them personally. |

Old ones like Grease are the best things ever, but I'm not really a fan of these new things like High School: The Musical. | |

They'd better get their arses in gear and adapt Wicked and do the Avenue Q TV Special that has been bandied about.
In the mean time, there's always Rent.

High School Musical is pretty good.
Doesn't beat the classics though. |

I would very much like to live in the world of musicals! I love them to an unnatural level and I'm not ashamed to admit it! Cummon!

| Re: Musicals
i've played in 22 in the last four years so that puts me somewhere between "addict" and "maniac" i think.
i'm off to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Kings tonight.
you should all go to!
tickets available here: http://www.theambassadors.com/kings/sp_p3917.html
in general i prefer them on stage to on screen, partly because a few great ones have been worsened in the transition - most notably Cabaret, in which the movie version drops a load of good songs and characters from the stage show and replaces them with crap. and OOOOOOOOOh-klahoma in the movie version of which Jud's song is dropped cause the actor couldn't sing (great bit of casting, that) and he turns into a kind of Frankenstein's monster parody.

Only one I've seen in the past 10 years is Avenue Q, and it was very good. | |

More often than not, I can't stand them, and generally tend to avoid them. Having said that, I did enjoy "Jerry Springer: The Opera" to a great extent.

I love watching musicals, although I like being in them a little but more.
Grease is shit though.
