I think the biggest reason I love musicals is the sur-reality. I mean seriously, I get enough of real life in real life. I don't want my entertainment to be that way. Musicals are what I wish reality was.

I wish life was like musicals, so everyone would start breaking into song and dance!!!

Favorite Shows: POTO, Wicked, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Legally Blonde, Hairspray, BATB, Music Man and more!

Currently in: R&H's Cinderella as a Stepsister!

Re:What makes a great musical? - 2008/03/28 13:36 I totally agree with Kristine!!

My friends don't understand why I don't like Spring Awakening, Company, RENT, etc., but it's all because I see this stuff everyday in real life. Or if I don't see it, I certainly hear about it. I don't want to see real life on the stage, it's the reason why people GO to the theatre! To lose themselves in a sur-reality story and to be entertained, not to see their problems unfurling onstage.

sorry about the rant.

Re:What makes a great musical? - 2008/03/29 10:22 That would be the best! I saw an episode of Scrubs and it was thee one where Patti Miller kept hearing music in her head and everyone was singing throughout the entire episode and I thought, I wish my hospital was like that.
