Poll

I have a couple of queries regarding the current poll. Firstly, it asks us to vote for our favourite "broadway" musical. By saying "broadway" I assume that means that angled strip in NYC around which most of the NY theatres are. So, does that mean we are being asked "Which of the current musicals on Broadway now (or recently) do you prefer?"? If so, I don't get it because there ain't too many of us here in godzown what get to go to too many "broadway" musicals. The voter base would be very small.

If the question should have been a more general "Which of these is your favourite musical?", why is there not somewhere for Leah and me to vote "None"?

OK here's my idea for a poll;

HOW MUCH DO MUSICALS SUCK?

A. A truely prodigious amount
B. A real lot
C. Mostly but not absolutely completely
D. I'm a big sissy musicals person so I have to vote D because I can't tell the truth and vote A, B or C.

Yay!! A poll for me, Cary and "I-hate-musicals-but-get-me-on-a stage-with-Nadia-Nasuf-and-you-won't-see-me-for-tonsils" Dean!

PS Actually I can't agree with Cary and say they are ALL utterly inane. "Assassins" wasn't inane and to a lesser extent "Into the Woods" wasn't either. And I hear "Blood Brothers" isn't inane. Just all the rest. Except the Hugh Jackman "Oklahoma" with the sound turned down. That's not inane. And speaking of Oklahoma I have heard an extremely good version of the title song sung by a non-musicals ex-Perth-pat. I think there may have been a bet involved.... or a least a large deal of alcohol.....
