Musicals.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I have just been challenged by my flippant 17 year old daughter because I was sat watching "Paint your Wagon" just now, and enjoying a box of chocolates. She stated in no uncertain terms "God Dad, how gay can you get, I noticed your closet door was open, I am glad you are out at last". I will not post my reply.

Now I have been known to enjoy a musical with the "Wizard of Oz" been a firm favourite along with Oliver, but I prefer the ballet myself.

I can't be the only one that enjoys a good musical.

if it's not willy wonka, or south park; gay!

[-pogo-]

Nah man it's not. I get called gay for liking to go to the theatre.

musicals do scream gayness to me. however i dont think its as gay as sitting and enjoying a box of chocolates while watching brokeback mountain.

[ministe2003]

watch the madness musical. Great story with morals and meaning, all to the music of madness. no way that can be gay.

[Langdale Wolf]

I f**king HATE musicals. I don't think they're gay as such, just shite. (Unless we're going back to that tedious discussion about whether saying the word 'gay' in a negative way is homophobic, but I digress).

They're annoying, they're irritaing and they seem to scream to me (quite literally) 'we can't act well enough to be a proper actor, but we can't sing well enough to be in a band either, so let's ruin this scene by singing a vomit-enducing ballad'.

Musicals suck.

[Atlanteanlost]

I like Fiddler on the Roof...............that's it, all other musicals are shit.

[ampersand]

take that - the circus tour = not gay

take that - never forget: the musical = gay

[Katster]

She's 17. Whatever you do embarrasses her

I used to work at a theatre, and quite enjoyed some of the productions, musicals included. The only gay thing about them is (more often than not) the cast!

[ampersand]

just remembered, i saw joseph with philip schofield. and also pirates of penzance. oh and oliver. oh and les mis. les mis is kinda okay. but the rest, no thanks.

I'm no fan - they always turn out to be a total waste of drinking time!!!

..... although having said that, I am always delighted to see any musicals my daughter has been and will be in.

[ampersand]

You just remembered...?

[Bezdad]

yup. initially i was thinking stuff on the telly. then i remembered i've seen stuff at theatres too. its when lithium said that the cast were normally gay, and it reminded me of the silver fox.

[Katster]

Blood Brothers is the best musical I've ever seen. The Lion King was impressive with all the effects and everything, but for one to get me all emotional, it's got to be Blood Brothers!!

"Living on the never never, constant as the changing weather, never suuuuuuuuuure, who's at the dooooooooor, or the price, I'll have to paaaaaaaaay".

Get's me every time.

I have a fairly major dislike of musicals. My sister has always been obsessed with them, and that why she ended up going in to acting. Every weekend she'd watch either the sound of music or the king and I. The worst of all though is Annie - there's a reason you were orphaned you f#cking whining brat!

I don't think you are homosexual if you do watch them though.

this is like corrie: uncovered. thanks!

Les Mis & Phantom I enjoyed.

Chicago was the worst 2 hours of my life.

Most of the others i've seen were alright.

Musicals, once or twice a year, are normally good evenings out, in my experience.

[rachbon]

i love musicals i haven't seen enough of them though.

rocky horror picture show is my favourite film ever. seen it at the theatre twice, i love going and getting dressed up.
