Kibbutznick Posted June 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 On My Own- Les Mis ehh... it depends who sings it (also "i dreamed a dream")... in the NYC cast (the first one) she really sucks... but int he london cast she is just right. by the way, i was Enjolras in a citywide production of Les MIs this year.

I love musicals - my husband hates them. He says they are unrealistic - people do not break out in song in day to day life. I tell him the movies he watches are unrealistic - Adam Sandler would not be pulling in the quality of tail he does in real life like he does in the movies.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Anyone else like showtunes? I'm sure psychocatholic would have a lot to say about this subject. Edited September 9, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 my favorite movie of all time is one big long show tune. Jesus Christ Superstar. I know every word to every song in that entire musical. I've seen that movie at least a gazillion times and I never get tired of it. Ted Neeley is THE BOMB.

Otokichi Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 These are debased times when the musical version of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's knight errant isn't remembered or mentioned. In a perfect world, "Man of La Mancha" would have been adapted to film and be as big a success as "South Pacific." So, to those who keep the flame of hope burning and dare to dream, here's Richard Kiley to sing "The Impossible Dream." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSYCHOcatholic Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Anyone else like showtunes? I'm sure psychocatholic would have a lot to say about this subject. Tis true, Peaches speaks the truth. I love almost all musicals. Jesus Christ Superstar is a wonderful musical, although it wasnt highly successful on the movie screen, it is loved by many. Chicago- The first time i saw this was in a movie theatre, and i fell in love with it the first time. The dancing, the music, and the way it was put together. Now, a main favorite of mine is Lil Abner...dont know how many people will remember that one, but that, along with Brigadoon were my first 2 musicals i ever did. I played Evil Eyed Fleagle in Abner, it was awesome. But, i just dont hear alot about it, guess it wasnt a hit. Ill also mention Phantom of the Opera...one of the most succesful. Of these, the showtunes are what draws people in. Showtunes of course makes a musical a musical Obviously. But what makes them good... They have to draw you in, pull you into the music, and it has to surround you. You feel like you are the only one in the room, and they are singing to you and only you. Its a wonderful feeling. In Jesus Christ Superstar the song that Jesus sings at the Garden of Gethsemane. When he first shows his human side, his emotions. I felt like i was following him. In Chicago, i felt like a juror. In Phantom of the Opera, i felt like the phantom, i was apart of the music during the song. Music of the Night. Strong, powerful musicals, get my blood flowing. I Love em, and they will always have a special place in my heart. Peace. I might post more later, but im watching Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
