And then for no reason we started discussing musicals...

Not only is it too cold outside, it is too cold in my house! What a lark! What a plunge! (10 bucks to anyone who gets the quote). But not to sleep :p.
OHOH. Speaking of musicals (ergo, the thread :o). La Vie En Rose. A lovely story about one of my favorite singers of all time.
Hate? That's a pretty strong verb.
Same with me - rainy Saturday afternoons watching the matinee on BBC2.
I lied. there is a musical I like that doesn't have Sinatra in it. Ambreen's post reminded me of it:
not exactly a musical, just a movie where all the dialogue is sung. love it.

Most men that I've known feel the same way as mjp, When the singing starts they head for the door. I am not trying to be sexist. It's just what most guys have told me. I like many musicals, though I don't seek them out, they must be recomended. Grease is near and dear to my heart, I must admit.
I saw SweenyTodd live when I was like twelve and I LOVED it; my Dad is a barber- and at intermission they served various individual sized pies and tomato juice! It was a blast!SMILES, CRB

Wasn't that in the Simpson's movie?
Krusty(?) said something like, "To get a sandwich with more grease, you'd have to go to Mexico..."
Blame it on the kids, I'm forced to watch HBO...
Yeah, baby: Grease is the word...
Oh man, please tell me this didn't begin with the Beatles or Stones post I started. (I know how mjp likes to split threads) :eek: I can't be held responsible for the ugly turn it might've taken. (now I know how Kurt Cobain felt)

Pink Floyd's THE WALL needs to be here.
For many, many reasons.
I'm not quite sure if I'd classify it as a musical, as I don't know how to classify it. Like much of Floyd's music...
(CRB, saw you mentioned this in another post. I almost posted this here yesterday, but got caught up in life's entanglements...great suggestion; methinks here is the place. So tear it up; or tear it down...)

oh yeah .. can't forget this..
and this classic
Ah this brings back memories....:)
oh yeah sings
I remember seeing Tommy for the first time when I was like 8 or nine years old. It was when HBO was still called Hollywood Home Theater. I stood in front of that TV for 2 hours with my jaw on the ground. Uncle Ernie; The Acid Queen; Anne Margret humping pillows while covered in baked beans... No child should be exposed to such things:eek: It really freaked me out in a totally fascinated way, I believe it may have led to my delinquincy...;)
I still love the songs, and will watch it whenever it is on.CRB:)

It's the time, it's the place, it's the motion.
Always a classic. I find myself only able to watch it now about once every 2 or 3 years. It gets old when you've found that you've watched it over 20 times in middle school.

Best song from a musical I've stumbled upon lately:

I watched Nine, finally, with Daniel Day Lewis... and, well, yes the music was horrible and ridiculous and Contini would turn over in his grave. But the story line, and the direction of it I actually enjoyed. But that's a whole nother thread again. However - it fits, as it is a musical, just a bad one.

Only an Irishman and an Italian

without turning gay
or maybe the vino
holds some dark secrets...

I had season tickets to the ahmanson and mark taper forum for a few years, and caught the Sweeny Tood production back in 2008(cast pictured below.) I thought it was horrible, almost couldn't stand to finish it. The Burton movie, of course I loved. But I'm sure Burton could film Johnny Depp blowing his nose and I scream OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, don't know much else about musicals, well except Grease the movie is one of my all time faves!
we managed to sit through the entire thing, but we were in a theatre and paid for the tickets and popcorn, etc. we weren't going anywhere. but we were tempted.
my wife has Johnny Depp fever and the only cure? more Johnny Depp! but she didn't like it.
I'm starting to think Depp can't act anymore unless he's covered in makeup and some odd costume and is impersonating a drag queen.

I not saying he can't, but it's been a while since I've seen it.
