Musicals

Musicals – To be honest I have not seen a lot of musicals myself, but since I was in choir in the middle/high school called G.A.M.P, I have had to sing in a lot of choir medleys of musicals and attended a few musicals that our school had performed. I would have to say my least favorite Musical we performed was Annie. I don’t know why, but I pretty much cringe every time I hear Tomorrow. I wasn’t there for many Musical’s but I believe the best Musical the school performed would be “The King and I.” The costumes, the backgrounds, the orchestra, and the performers all did an excellent job. Probably the best part though was that after a year of construction the auditorium was finally built for the school, so it was the first Musical to be performed there. I believe the last musical I watched was Sweeney Todd, which I rather enjoyed. It was the movie version that came out just to be clear. Maybe it was because of the violence why I liked it so much, but I just thought it was fantastic. I really enjoy musicals, but I don’t get to see them very often. However, I’m not a big fan of the more over the top musical performances, like the one we watched for the Musical “Hair.” I don’t know if it is just me but I enjoy a musical where the performs stay on stage, and the audience stays in their seats. Also, since we didn't get to talk about it in class I don't see what the big deal about Glee was. I mean I was forced to watch the entire first season of it while staying over my friends house while I was on vacation in Ohio by one of his friends last year, and although I wasn't ready to claw my eyes and ears out like I originally thought I would by the end I didn't care for it at all. Seemed rather boring to me. But maybe that's just me.
