Brigita admits to some apprehension regarding the musical Buffy and goes on to reveal her issues with the entire “musical” form. I just left her a massive comment trying to defend the genre. I know there are others with strong feelings on the subject too. What do you think? Do you have problems with people “bursting into song”?

i readily admit that i am wilfully indulging myself in ignorance by not exploring the medium further, but it’s so hard to break out of this rut.
i forgot to mention that i also saw Cats in London. with the family. at sixteen, this time.
lather, rinse, repeat. 😉

K, so I’ve read the spoilers for the musical episode and all I can say is “WOW” I don’t care how bad the singing and dancing it, this is going to be a MoFo of an episode. Ooo, tingly feeling again. I need an intervention

I loooooooove musicals. Always have. Annie, Willie Wonka, Mary Poppins, Cats, Starlight Express, Les Mis, the list just goes on. What’s wrong with bursting into song? 🙂

Ooh, I saw Starlight Express a year ago and I didn’t like it that much. It’s about twenty years too old, I think. It reminded me of the the Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade combined with roller derby and bad synthesized music. Oh, and trains. 🙂

Starlight Express was da bomb when I was wittle. I was always an odd child. Nothing gets me all happy like Miss Saigon. Love that musical.
Well, if you excuse me I think I’ll go pop My Fair Lady in the vcr and go all giggly 🙂

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I’m a fan of My Fair Lady. I’ve been wanting to see the new version in London with Jonathan Pryce and Martine McClutcheon.
I just realized how ridiculous it is for me to decry populist musicals when my CD collection includes so many Disney sountracks. *sigh*
