I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey.

1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?
Yes. Because I like music and I like theate and musicals--good ones, at least--do a good job of combining them. In short, they're deeper than movies and more entertaining than plays. Also more powerful--there's something intrinsically moving in music that plays and movies just can't get.
2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?
I don't know anything about opera. That's why I made this survey.
3. What's your favorite musical?
Favorite as in "highest quality" is Les Misérables. Favorite as in "most fun to watch" is 1776.
4. What elevates it above the rest?
Les Mis manages to combine history with fantastic character development and stunning emotion.
5. What's your favorite opera?
I know of maybe three operas (operae? how does one pluralize a plural?) off of the top of my head. Am ignorant.
BONUS POINTS: Do you or have you ever teared up while watching Les Misérables? If not, how does it feel to lack a soul?

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too.

Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM*

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title.

Piccolos are nasty. End of story. Their only function is that of ornamentation. *NM*

Because of the singing, I guess?

Ugh. I heard about three clips from the movie and I will definitely not see it.

Right. Used to be far more musical-obsessed than currently, but here goes.

Most musicals are trite, saccharine drivel for uncultured tourists from the Midwest and South.
