Opera and Ballet, as well. What the f*** are they all about? Opera is wonderful - Carmen is fab. And I love a good musicals Westside Story, Chicago, Caberet, Oliver, Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, Moulin Rouge, Evita, Lion King, Billy Liar, South Pacific, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Oaklahoma Bit worried about the Little One's choice musical viewing at the moment - High School Musical and Hair with the really 'rude song' as she puts it!:ohmy: |

I reckon part of it is some kind of inverse snobbery and part a lack of understanding. To a generation brought up with pop music, opera takes a while to 'get'. Like any musical genre though, you don't have to like it all. I am not a huge Wagner fan for example, but like Puccini and Verdi. Same with ballet. The classics are OK, but I love modern ballet. I like many classic musicals like Singing in the Rain, Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof, but Moulin Rouge was unbearable (IMO). - |

Re: Musicals ?
I always thought the Teletubbies songs were brilliant.
Some day they will be viewed as classics in the same light as Nesan Dorma. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuiynIn-g9s :thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Re: Musicals ?

Re: Musicals ?
Loved Oliver as a kid. Still know all the words to the songs. Thought Annie was a bit pathetic.
Also throughly enjoyed Phantom of the Opera. |

I was 'erm no I'm not going to that, no way'. And I have seen bits of some, bloody rubbish, people jumping out from behind trees and singing all the time. Musicals are shit. |

Would anyone class The Commitments as a musical? But have to agree, generally musicals a right crock of s.hite.
Apart from Oliver. Love The Blues Brothers,fantastic sound track, as is The Commitments. My step daughter is somewhat obsessed withy Beyonce - you know,teenage girls have their role models and all that - forced me to sit through Dream Girls.Never have I heard so many songs in one film - it really did do my head in. |

Re: Musicals ?
Never really "got" musicals.
Opera - Like bits but couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing. Perhaps I'm just an uncultured phillistine, or perhaps there is a place in the market for porn musicals? :rofl: |
Re: Musicals ?
Musicals are beloved by the friends of Dorothy ! :rofl:
