Well, that is kind of funny, in a snotty sort of way.
I never did understand all those big, overblown, improbable musicals. Taken in small segments I can see the skill and the beauty, but taken as a whole they were just too canned.
Must have been a generational thing with the popularity of musicals being primarily due to moviegoers raised in a pre-tv era. I'm either the very first of Gen X or the very last of the Boomers depending upon whose definition you use.
The whole thing just made no sense to me, like a sitcom gone on way too long morphing into Lawrence Welk periodically, without explanation and without warning.
I was not alone, apparently.
So it’s not just me?
I can’t do musicals...not at all. My mother just loved them; I agree that it’s probably a generational thing. But when the characters burst into song, I cringe.
But to each his own, of course.
