The Book of Mormon was a good time. It was the only musical I've ever paid to see or even considered paying to see. Even with matinee pricing, it really is nuts how expensive Broadway shows are. I like the point Lindsay Ellis makes in that Rent video about how these Big Issues plays are trying to sell their message to people who can't even receive it because the show is too expensive for them. Instead they're selling revolution or whatever to a bunch of upper middle class whites. Comedic musicals are the only kind I can sometimes tolerate because the whole concept of people inexplicably singing and dancing about everything - including AIDS - is so loving stupid that it's sort of baffling sometimes that anyone takes it seriously. I know Hamilton is supposed to be so amazing and maybe it is but every clip I've seen looks so corny. Like some Epic Rap Battles of History kind of poo poo. It's super cool and not at all dorky to be rapping about the Constitution.

hamilton is garbage. passing strange is a good musical and the film of it is good too, because the people who wrote it are talented musicians and have a story to tell

He also just named the main character after himself more often than not, which is a bit weird when one of your most famous works involves the main character developing a fetish for dangerous car related situations.

I like when a friend is tired of hearing about Hamilton so they're finally like okay what the hell is this about. So I play the title track and- Totally a good musical and not just white guilt the play posted:ALEXANDER HAMILTON: My name is Alexander Hamilton, and I... like to use a hammer a ton. My name is Alexander Hamilton so I like to... lick a salty ham a ton. BECAUSE MY NAME IS ALEXANDER HAM-IL-TON. (Makes intimidating gestures while wearing day-glo pants because I'm a kid in the 90s.)

I've worked on or been an active musician in 10 original musicals and every single one would be better off without the loving song breaks. Except the Flamenco shows, but those barely count.

Because I was asked to get tickets for Hamilton in June. And like Powerful sex moves I've only seen book of Mormon prior. Like I'm going in blind, except for seeing the author on an episode of drunk history which was funny, but then again when isn't drunk history funny.

Opera is really good if you go to good operas that are also very well produced. I've laughed a lot harder at some centuries old operas than most of the poo poo comedy movies they've put out in the last few years. Stick some fat guy in a laundry basket or put a donkey head on a dude and I'm there. I went to a really lovely magic flute recently though that felt exactly like a highschool production.

A lot of serious dramatic/tragic operas feel super dated and are filled with idiotic characters and really dated moralism and matters of honour or horrible sexism that is hard to relate to. A lot of comedies stand the test of time though and the characters being stupid is part of the joke.

I really enjoy classical music in a chamber setting, where it's all played without amplifiers and ideally on period instruments. Because it's not amplified the audience usually sits on 3 or 4 sides of the musicians and it's a wonderful experience, and usually venues either have you sit on the stage with the musicians, or ideally, in a smaller room off the main symphony hall. it's always good to broaden your musical horizons and it contrasts nicely to the times when I'm in some sort of semi-legal rave on drugs listening to pounding underground dance music.
