Re: Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. ranagrande Send a noteboard - 31/01/2010 05:08:11 PM
1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?
Yes. I like the theatre, and I like music, so an appreciation for musical theatre is a natural extension. It's also a lot of fun to do musicals.

2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?
Yes, for much the same reason. I'm often more impressed by these, as I know that I will never be an opera singer.

3. What's your favorite musical?
My favorite is the one you mention below, Les Misérables. The weekend after next I will be going to see my second favorite musical, Into the Woods.

4. What elevates it above the rest?
For Les Mis, everything. The music is phenomenal, the story is good, the characters are strong.

5. What's your favorite opera?
Carmen

6. What elevates it above the rest?
It is, I'm sad to say, the only opera I have actually ever seen. (Although I like the one in Final Fantasy III/VI a lot too. :P )

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

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1167 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 855 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 745 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 456 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 834 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 433 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 851 Views

i agree with you, and it's not the style of music LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 09:54:40 PM 665 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 849 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? ironclad - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 839 Views

see, my favorite Phantom is actually the movie (with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler) LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 10:57:40 PM 842 Views
The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... Legolas - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 670 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 856 Views

musicals are OK random thoughts - 01/02/2010 07:43:38 PM 643 Views
Most musicals are trite, saccharine drivel for uncultured tourists from the Midwest and South. Tom - 02/02/2010 05:38:41 PM 904 Views
