1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?
Yes, it's fun to use music to explore characters true feelings
2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?
Yes but unfortunately I've only ever seen a handful.
About a year ago there was a great documentary series on Channel 4 (UK) about music styles. One episode examined Musicals and Operas and what separates one from the other (style, technique, etc.) It was very good
3. What's your favorite musical?
In terms of a Film Singin' in the Rain. It is the great MGM musical from their golden period and although the majority of the songs had been previously used I do feel they fit together beautifully here.
Honurable mentions: Meet Me in St Louis, Wizard of Oz, West Side Story, Once, Annie (come on, it's got great songs), Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dr. Horrible's Sing Along a Blog
In terms of Stage Musicals, it would be Cabaret, basically a great plot mixed with fantastic songs in a setting which makes logical sense for charactrs to start signing.
Honourable mentions: Chicago, Les Mis, Improbable Frequency, Hairspray
4. What elevates it above the rest?
5. What's your favorite opera?
Honestly I haven't seen enough to truly say, but I enjoyed Carmen the most of those which I've actually seen
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?
No no, there was just something in my eye.

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.

Because of the singing, I guess?

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