Anyone here like Musicals?

[Brutuskend]

Personally I CAN'T FVCKING STAND THEM!

That is all...

 

[Goosemaster]

basically....the score usually consists of a copland-esque theme but with none of Copland's good traits...

 

[n7]

I despise them with a passion :|

spamalot and the producers :thumbsup:

Musicals suck hairy donkey nuts, but I :heart: operas

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

I love em. Les Miserables will always be my favorite. Damn Yankees is also damn good.

I don't hate them, but wouldn't go out of my way to see one either.,

like every genre, it has its good moments and bad.

I do. I like that entire era of film, including musicals.

 

[Brutuskend]

While growing up that was about the only kind of movies my folks ever took me to.

I grew up thinking that was what life was really like.

Needless to say, I soon made a complete ASS of myself while singing and dancing around town.

I HATE THEM!

I love musicals...parents took me to Phantom when I was pretty young, went back a few times...sang for a while in college and ever after that I've really tried to listen to more of them.

Don't care who knows it. (obviously)

sailor moon musicals <3

 

[NogginBoink]

Brutuskend, no offense, but seeing movies based on musicals is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from seeing a musical on live stage.

Totally. Different.

Movies of musicals suck. Musicals on the stage are just magical. Les Mis, Fiddler on the Roof, Music Man, etc.

Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a quality production of a live musical. It really is so different from seeing a movie of a musical that the comparison just can't be made.

Phantom = Opera

Operas = musicals that don't suck

HELL NO!

 

[EvilYoda]

Well, it was my first exposure to it, okay? cut me some slack

And I like operas too. One of my best SACDs is the Living Stereo release of Price singing Verdi and Puccini arias.

Musical-wise, they vary so much and opera influences can't be helped sometime.

Phantom is a Broadway musical. Operas do not use voice amplification, Broadway musicals do...like Phantom. Of course, other than that, musicals and operas are extremely similar.

operas are all singing...even the dialog..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera

musicals are regular spoken dialog, with people bursting into songs once in a while

if you like musicals, watch an Indian movie...99.9% of Indian movies are musical...you can have a gritty war drama, and all of a sudden the soldiers will start singing a song to each other...
