"No, I really don’t like musicals. People singing their feelings and being all earnest about it… mega cringe.
Animated musicals are cool, though."

"My idea of hell if I’m honest.
Satan dancing and singing 🤔😂
Not today Satan…. Or any day for that matter 😂"
Hmmm, private backstage party with Satan to the Rocky Horror Picture Show sounds a blast 😈 |

"It's my favourite thing to do, I go to at least one per month.. 20 shows booked for this year already and counting 
Niceeeee. So far which has been your favourite?? "
I can't choose a favourite! They all provide something different but stand outs recently.. Mean Girls, &Juliet and Titanique! Special mention to the Lion King, thats the ultimate musical obviously 😊 |

I didn’t always, but I have grown to like them, and it makes me kinda sad because my mother loved them, and I never got to regularly take her to see them, only once, the King and I her favourite for her 65 birthday.
But if you put Mamma Mia on cover your ears and hop I run out of steam quickly |

I've seen a few, Chess, Beautiful, Wicked, Aladdin, The Lion King.
Have been known to sing a show tune or two in my time.
Nothing booked for this year, but that's got more to do with needing to be available for my parents. |

Not really especially if part of the plot is in the lyrics of the song. I just switch off
My son ( who was about 19 at the time) convinced me to watch Encanto. After about 4 attempts of getting through that awful opening song. I started to enjoy it. Later in the film they’re talking about Bruno. I was like who the fuck is Bruno. Both my lads were like they literally sang a whole song about him 
I do like Rocky Horror, little shop and love Labyrinth and Sound of Music though ( and Moana but do not tell anyone) |

"I would have enjoyed the likes of Gene Kelly type movie musicals when I was younger. Singing in the rain, Grease, Mary Poppins, etc.
But not stage musicals. Awful, I find them torture. "
Get yourself on stage |

Absolutely despise them. Can't watch.
...although there's always an exception to the rule. Love 'Rocky Horror', have a soft spot for 'HighSchool Musical' because it was my kids era, and enjoy some of the 'Music' movies that teeter on the edge of the genre; 'Rocket Man', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'School of Rock', 'Yesterday'.
'High Fidelity' doesn't count for this thread, but I'm gonna mention it because I watched it again this week and it's a musical classic, but not a 'musical'!! |

I grew up in a household where musicals would be on tv a lot! Had elderly grandparents and older parents but I enjoyed it, still do and watch now im in my 50’s! Music is good for the soul!
I enjoy a good sing too
Went to see Wicked in London 7 years ago now and loved it and hope to get to more maybe that I am on my own and free to do what I want in many ways…just need the fuckbuddy to enjoy it with |

"4th time seeing Hamilton this summer, this time with the OG Burr.
Oooo! You're going OG?! So exciting, hope it's truly fantastic. ❤️"
I’m so excited. I hope he’s excellent. I sat in an online queue for 6 hours 🤣🤣🤣 |

"Absolutely detest them with a passion.
The quality of acting and singing seems to suggest that a musical is where you end up when you fail.
Ouch. Controversial opinion haha "
Or some might say you need even more skill to often act, sing and dance at the same time and to ensure you do that in synchronicity with other performers. |

Fail at what exactly?
Most people working in musical theatre trained precisely for musical theatre.
The competition for roles is high.
You do not get there without the skills. |

When you fail at what?"
I'd have imagined that musicals actually help your singing and acting? |

I like theatre, but hate musicals. I just hate everything randomly breaking out into cringy songs.
The only caveat I put on the above statement is I would totally go and see the Book or Mormon. But then I suppose there's always an exception to the rule.

The Book of Mormon is a great show.
Really very funny.
Definitely try to see it. |

Agreed. Only tongue in cheek/comedic ones like The Book of Mormon. |

"I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but I’ve seen and enjoyed a few.
For me it mostly depends on the type of music, such as We Will Rock You, Rock of Ages, American Idiot
I loved rock of ages  "
I even loved the film as cheesy as it is |
