a lot of 'the best' musicals are poo poo and having people quote them constantly is the worst thing about theatre people

Theatre people are the worst things about theatre people.

I do have an opera singer friend, and he pretty much rules, but I don't think opera counts as theatre

My best female friend is super into musicals and she's tried so hard to get me to like them (through intense immersion therapy) but I just can't. There's always a baseline of cringe for me, even for "the best" musicals.

mine is doing that to me. I like stage musicals now, thanks to her, but never film musicals. Even the songs in Frozen make me cringe. I really really enjoyed seeing Wicked in the west end though. And Matilda, and i LOVED Sweeny Todd

I think I've heard Le Mis at least three times just from people playing that loving album in their cars.

except the little girl song, they always skipped that so I have no idea what her deal was

Too bourgie for me.

The minute anyone starts to sing my skin crawls. Doesn't matter if they're singing about Nazis or flower arrangements.

Seriously, Happiness of the Katakuris. I know most people hear "Takeshi Miike" and they think "Ichi the Killer, ultra violence, gangsters, tits" but it's genuinely a fun, family-friendly musical.

I think I like Cabaret particularly because the singing has actual context and no one's just bursting out into song and dance numbers on the street

Anyone who doesn't like Ichi the Killer is a big dork, it's the funniest Japan comedy ever. Best JP musical is the Japanese version of Tanz der Vampire. Jim Steinman in Japanese is loving comedy gold.

Opera is p. tits, problem with it is opera people like it.

Any movie that begins with the title rising out of a puddle of cum can't be all bad.
