My Rules for enjoying a musical

RockyBalboa

Guys and Dolls? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?

Eddie

10/3/19 3:45pm

7 Brides is a terrible musical. Haven't seen Guys and Dolls, but if it's in the same vein, count me out.

jdub

10/3/19 3:48pm

What don't you like about Seven Brides?

Eddie

10/3/19 3:52pm

Oh, I don't know. Everything? It's a cringe-fest from start to finish.

I love 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. Granted I was in it in high school.

Well, bless your beautiful hide, we can still be friends anyway.

I am a lonesome polecat after all

I've never seen 7 Brides, but Guys and Dolls is an enjoyable show.

Guys and Dolls is worth watching for this one scene alone:

Earplugs and Melatonin are my rules.

Admitting to liking musicals doesn't make you gay BTW.

Mister P

10/3/19 3:53pm

Musicals must be an American thing, my Mexicana wife absolutely hates them

10/3/19 3:48pm

Ever heard of opera? Not an American thing.

Mister P

10/3/19 3:51pm

True to some degree but still different because Opera is live but

10/3/19 4:00pm

Ok. How about Les Miz? It was originally a French Musical.

Mister P

10/3/19 4:03pm

What do you think of her mariachi music? 😉

runnincoug

10/3/19 3:57pm

I'm a fan of Mariachi music, now some of the other stuff... well

10/3/19 4:17pm

That seems more like evidence that they’re not a Mexican thing than that they’re

I went to see several musicals in Mexico City when I lived there. The theater

Avoid "Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812"

10/3/19 3:49pm

Surprising. That name just screams quality musical.

10/3/19 3:51pm

I think it was only on Broadway for 9 mos and that was only because Josh Groban

10/3/19 3:52pm

There was actually a big controversy over casting related to race but it was

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:05pm

It's a cult favorite and a lot of people loooooooooved it. It is gone now so NBD

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:03pm

I got my 'hip' teenage son addicted to musicals with one show....

TheLost

10/3/19 3:54pm

Never seen it and don't plan to. Heard about 20 seconds of one "song"

Mister P

10/3/19 3:56pm

So you hate shows like Disney's Moana

TheLost

10/3/19 4:03pm

you're missing out. It's amazing live. Didn't love the soundtrack but wow

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:08pm

As a person who went in skeptical and already had my favorites, it is EASILY

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:07pm

I'll take the heat for saying this...

TheLost

10/3/19 4:11pm

great show

10/3/19 4:10pm

My wife is similar to your #3. However, I enjoy a movie/musical that brings

runnincoug

Have you seen Miss Saigon? RockyBalboa should avoid it.

joelvandyne

10/3/19 4:01pm

That might be my favorite of all time. Rocky Balboa might like the Engineer's songs.

Byron McNertney

10/3/19 4:07pm

Maybe, but he would absolutely hate the ending.

joelvandyne

10/3/19 7:08pm

Just saw it again. Came though Tempe on tour.

Blue Cat

10/3/19 4:43pm

Not yet. It's not put on very often anymore. How much sex is in it though?

runnincoug

10/3/19 5:49pm

None on stage from the touring company I saw perform it.

joelvandyne

10/3/19 7:07pm

Moulin Rouge FTW

enigomo

10/3/19 4:01pm

Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat meets your criteria and it is playing at

JoMax

10/3/19 4:01pm

I was with you until the last bit.

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:02pm

+ The theater setting/location needs to be outdoors in a beautiful location.

Kugmo

10/3/19 4:08pm

You probably would like Dear Evan Hansen. Meets the criteria.

jkccoug

10/3/19 4:09pm

I was with you until "enjoying a musical."

OceanMang

RE: I was with you until "enjoying a musical."

Mister P

10/3/19 4:11pm

I have a good excuse.

OceanMang

10/3/19 4:22pm

I challenge you to find one that better fits your criteria than this one.

Rich Lather

10/3/19 4:10pm

Hello Dolly!!!

rockyrd

10/3/19 4:11pm

Meh

Uncle Bluto

10/3/19 4:31pm

So what are some that fit this criteria for you?

BYUHawk

10/3/19 4:43pm

For me it has to have a larger cast and stage and don't humanize animals

bad84cougar

10/3/19 4:52pm

Mine: 1. Don't go.
