watching a musical

I know there is a certain stigma around the "theater kid" but I love a musical. They (mostly) are a lot of fun and sometimes they can really make you cry and feel something. For instance, as I'm writing this I'm watching one of my all-time favorites "Gypsy" specifically the one with Bette Midler. This film is the original Dance Moms, literally a show about a mom who pushed her kids into show business so hard that one of them ran away and the other became a stripper (Okay burlesque dancer but the show is set in the 1920s so like the same thing). Now I should specify when I say musical I don't mean you should put on any of these new shows that are just adaptations of films with badly written scores. Watch any musical written pre-2010 and post-1950s and I can guarantee It will be a fun time (unless you're one of those people who says the singing doesn't make sense cause in the real world nobody would sing, stop hating fun!) All I'm gonna finish with is they are so fun and campy (sometimes) and often have lots of interesting ideas and ways of presenting them (like the film adaptation of Cabaret? so good).

listening to musicals

okay i think modern musicals have given musicals a really bad rap. but there are so many good shows out there that are really brilliant works of storytelling or songwriting that get overlooked purely on the basis of being musicals. and if you want a place to start stephen sondheim and william finn both have have so many amazing shows.
