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"?

Case in point.

An opera singer is so well trained that they don't require mikes because they sing from the diaphram eliminating the stress from their vocal cords. Musical theatre singers sing from the throat which necessitates using a mike. Musical theatre singers are more likely to get nodules on their vocal cords which can become cancerous then opera singers. Musical singers sing badly (I mean physiologically speaking rather than artistically speaking - but then again...) so I would say that it is more of a dangerous artform then a clumsy one.
