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. :P
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. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1068 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 754 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 656 Views
Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:49:31 AM 406 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 717 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 379 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 753 Views
Probably my most frequent thought while on this site. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:47:05 AM 725 Views

Yeah. I've given Deb permission to sing this one for you... Sports_Gambler - 01/02/2010 01:28:47 AM 641 Views

i agree with you, and it's not the style of music LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 09:54:40 PM 572 Views
Piccolos are nasty. End of story. Their only function is that of ornamentation. *NM* Amys - 31/01/2010 10:34:33 PM 390 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 758 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? ironclad - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 750 Views

see, my favorite Phantom is actually the movie (with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler) LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 10:57:40 PM 724 Views
The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... Legolas - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 573 Views
Ugh. I heard about three clips from the movie and I will definitely not see it. Cockatiel of Doom - 01/02/2010 01:25:36 AM 754 Views

I was hoping you'd pick Grease 2 as your favorite musical. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 01/02/2010 04:39:03 PM 365 Views
Well I was only counting musicals I've seen on stage. Sareitha Sedai - 01/02/2010 04:46:05 PM 742 Views

musicals are OK random thoughts - 01/02/2010 07:43:38 PM 549 Views
Most musicals are trite, saccharine drivel for uncultured tourists from the Midwest and South. Tom - 02/02/2010 05:38:41 PM 800 Views
