1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?
Absolutely. I like music, and I like theater/TV/movies, so, well, why wouldn't I like musicals?
2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?
I have this feeling that I would if I got to know it more, but I can't say that I do know it.
3. What's your favorite musical?
Phantom of the Opera, probably. But I'm also very fond of Jesus Christ Superstar, The Sound of Music, and of course Once More With Feeling if that counts. And Grease is a guilty pleasure.
4. What elevates it above the rest?
I guess everything, really... the story, the songs, Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford (the movie version was slightly disappointing as a result, although Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler are good singers in their own right, and I have no complaints about the acting or general look of the movie).
5. What's your favorite opera?
Can't say that I have one.
6. What elevates it above the rest?
N/A
BONUS POINTS: Do you or have you ever teared up while watching Les Misérables? If not, how does it feel to lack a soul?
I have not, for the simple reason that I've never seen (or read) Les Mis.
Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too.

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

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?

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