Re: Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 31/01/2010 01:17:20 PM
1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?

Musicals are OK.

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

Not really, too elitist.

3. What's your favorite musical?

'Grease', because Deborah Gibson - my girlfriend - was in it in the London West End revival version playing Sandy in 1993 :) Thanks to the miracle of video, you can travel right to that time, and she will sing right to ya at the link below, just like she did for me ;)

4. What elevates it above the rest?

Good coming of age fun, funky take-offs of 50s songs.

5. What's your favorite opera?

-

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?

Yes.

"Can you hear the people sing?" - fantastic!

Deborah Gibson was in that one as well you know, playing Eponine.

Deb as Sandy

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1139 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 818 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 721 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 439 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 804 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 416 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 816 Views

Yeah. I've given Deb permission to sing this one for you... Sports_Gambler - 01/02/2010 01:28:47 AM 713 Views

i agree with you, and it's not the style of music LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 09:54:40 PM 634 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 828 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? ironclad - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 815 Views

The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... Legolas - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 639 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 823 Views

musicals are OK random thoughts - 01/02/2010 07:43:38 PM 615 Views
Most musicals are trite, saccharine drivel for uncultured tourists from the Midwest and South. Tom - 02/02/2010 05:38:41 PM 873 Views
