I'm indifferent. I've seen a few: Grease, Chicago, Cabaret (the movie was better), maybe some other one. Nothing elevates musicals for me. They're just kinda pop. The singing is good, but not extraordinary. I don't care for the Broadway style of dance. Words may be difficult to hear.
I've never been particularly interested in those musicals. They are very much "pop" musicals. Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables are rather more serious.
I love opera. The voices and the drama. Over-the-top emotions and singers doing insane, pushing-the-envelope of what humans can do things with their voices. They are world-class athletes, and fill me with awe. Also, it's just so beautiful, you don't have to try to appreciate it. How do you explain why a delicious food tastes delicious?
But it sounds weird.
I'm going to check out your recommendations, though.

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?

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.
