I can't stand musicals. I've never been able to sit through one since I was about seven (and even then only Disney cartoons like The Lion King) and I consider musical theatre to be torture. However, it's obvious from the huge success of certain shows that there are plenty of other out there who take the opposite view, and spend their weekends singing along to Mary Poppins.

So, what do you think of musicals? If you're a fan, could you explain what's so appealing about them, and maybe tell us your favourite?
