1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?


Yes. A lot :D Because they make me happy (even the sad ones). They connect with me in a way that non-musical shows just don't. I love the way the music and lyrics can interact with and complement the story. And singing certain key lines is so much more expressive than merely speaking them.

2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?


I have only ever seen La Boheme, which I enjoyed, but I do like listening to music from them. It's pretty.

3. What's your favorite musical?


I really don't know if I can pick just one :D I guess whichever one I've just seen?

No? Okay fine. Erm. This is hard. I think my favorite ever is Into the Woods. <3 Sondheim.

4. What elevates it above the rest?


His lyrics are so clever, the songs are highly sing-able but without seeming trite, the interconnection of the stories is well done, and the sort of "behind the scenes" aspect of familiar stories is intriguing.

5. What's your favorite opera?


I don't know enough about it to have one.

6. What elevates it above the rest?

BONUS POINTS: Do you or have you ever teared up while watching Les Misérables? If not, how does it feel to lack a soul?


Of course! I cry when I just listen to the soundtrack. Javert's suicide gets me every time. And Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.

I think the musical that has made me cry the most though is Miss Saigon. I was completely sobbing at the end of that one.

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 922 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 614 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 518 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 572 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 315 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 614 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 597 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 597 Views

see, my favorite Phantom is actually the movie (with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler) - 31/01/2010 10:57:40 PM 568 Views
The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 454 Views
Ugh. I heard about three clips from the movie and I will definitely not see it. - 01/02/2010 01:25:36 AM 610 Views

I was hoping you'd pick Grease 2 as your favorite musical. *NM* - 01/02/2010 04:39:03 PM 309 Views
Well I was only counting musicals I've seen on stage. - 01/02/2010 04:46:05 PM 595 Views
