What are your favourite musicals and why?
Wed, 12 Sept 2001, 10:20 pmHi all,
Now just what is your favourite musical/s and why ? I hope to get a great response from this one! (if i get any that is)
My all time favourites list include Les Miserables (of course!), also the King and I, Oliver, My Fair Lady. There are more of course but I don't want to go into too many right now.
I'll talk about why I adore these musicals when i get some kind of feedback on the topic.

No, I don't. Music is the end result of the dots on the page being performed. The recipe is not the meal. Unless you are very weird, you do not eat the recipe.
*as my teacher call it - FLY POO. anyone who reads music will understand that. especially anyone who has done or (in my case), going to do TEE music, or has studied music alot ( it's all about the analysing of tunes). it's all fly poo, my friends.
Yes it is- but you forget that someone sat down, fly in hand, and squeezed the little insect to get it to poop in THE RIGHT PLACES. So that when the fly poo is put in front of someone who can translate it into the vibration of air molecules- the end result is not cacophonous or lame, but something that stirs the depths of the soul of the listener.
I conceded that my unnatural bias definitely colours my attitude to most musicals and how "well" they're written. But that's the way it goes. If what I hear doesn't appeal to my ear, that is the only criteria the music has to meet for me to give the thumbs-up-or-down.
