There are a lot of people who bash "regular" plays as well. I've talked to many people who won't see anything BUT musicals. However, these people tend to be interested only in the light, clichéd heaps of fluff that abound. They don't want to think, they just want to be entertained by pretty colours. When someone goes to the theatre looking for something to really sink their teeth into, and they're presented with the theatrical equivalent of a fluffy bunny with a lobotomy, it can have the unfortunate effect of turning them off them forever.

You have to admit, there's not a lot out there that's being performed for the thinker. They exist, but no-one seems to want to do them. Not that I have anything against musicals in general, hell, I'm in rehearsals for one right now (despite not being able to sing, dance OR act!), and I've paid good money to see them. But as long as there are people out there that say "Uh, non-musicals are weird @!#$. I don't want to see anything confronting, let's go watch "Oliver" again," I will support the right of people to say... well all the threads above really.

Oh... and come see Travesties... to those that were worried, no, it's not me that does the strip tease this time. See the E-Poster at
