Re: Let's talk about musicals

FUCK YES MUSICAL THEATRE

-Assassins is fantastic and really needs to get revived again
-Recently got super into Stephen Sondheim (see above) and realized how excellent Sweeney Todd is on a music level, also Into the Woods
-Really want to actually see Drood on stage, the soundtrack was great and it seems really fun
-I have a weird soft spot for Oklahoma! despite its terrible, terrible campiness because we did it in high school and it was way too much fun
-I very nearly tried out for 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee when the local theatre group was going to put it on despite the fact that I would have been desperately underqualified because it's that fucking good

As for movie musicals, there seems to be some kind of weird disconnect between what musical theatre fans want out of a movie musical, and what directors of movie musicals want. There's a few (Chicago, Sweeney Todd, to some extent Les Mis 2012) that are pretty good, but that's kind of despite the musical element? It's treated as a secondary element, which is contrary to why we like the damn thing in the first place. Idk I'm kind of spitballing here.
