I love musicals!

Well, I'm not so big on them at the moment cause I recently had to write a 10 page term paper on the Musical film genre. But uh, the appeal of musicals is the sheer spectacle of it all. The nature of musicals is to be slightly surreal, dazzling, and fun.

Moulin Rouge is probably my favorite musical. Ewan McGregor said in an interview that human beings experience music and songs on a whole different level than just words alone. I think that's true. It reaches the viewer in a different way when you hear someone singing a love song, as opposed to someone just saying, "I love you."

And while I was in New York, I saw The Beauty and the Beast musical on Broadway and it was wonderful. I adored it.
