Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM
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. - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 920 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 613 Views

Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM* - 31/01/2010 06:49:31 AM 349 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 570 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 314 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 611 Views
