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"?

I thought that with opera it was always the beauty of the human voice at full blast, without the benefit of being 'miked up' which was important. I also thought that with opera the orchestration of the music was also paramount. It transcends the actual 'realism' of the drama or comedy in much the same way as ballet for example. Neither artform professes some kind of emotional reality in much the same way that the musical tries to.

As for Dario's remark about how offensive it was to see musicals as fast food, I'm not rubbishing fast food at all. I'm sure some people enjoy it. You are what you eat!
