"Musicals"

[sufi]

has there ever been a good one? They are so rottenly out of fashion since what, 1980 - the A L-W years were really really awful

Can you imagine any prospect of them becoming OK?
(or am i wrong, maybe you saw hamilton?)

how about dissensus the pantomime? I willl be widow twanky

 

[sufi]

why are they so appalling, is there something inherently bad about the format?

and why would people watch them??

 

[sufi]

i see there is s trend of just chucking out a stage show for a artist's back catalogue - e.g. queen, MJ, abba etc 😴

no they're shit

don't they just tend to the sentimental lyrically and musically plus they're done by theatre actors who are not real humans

Funny Face

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

One From the Heart

I love grease.
And bugsy malone the Alan Parker one with kids and custard pies.
Also the Albert finney scrooge with Alec Guinness as marley is brilliant. The ministers cat but in that, legendary.

Something thats been pinging my head for the last few days is thirdforms voice. I can't imagine that voice saying "foolish boy" and "surrender to sodomy". Thirdform would be a great musical villain.

all the Disney movies are basically musicals

and those marvel films too

 

[catalog]

The bugsy malone one is 80s I think.

Sorry, I didn't read properly. Forgive me.

 

[catalog]

Oh no, 1976.

 

[sufi]

Sorry, I didn't read properly. Forgive me.

no need, my thesis stands up
blues bros was 1980 also

 

[catalog]

Caberet is also excellent but also pre-1980
