Do You listen to Musicals? (1 Viewer)

Do you listen to musicals?
Do you watch them online or see them in person?
What is your favorite one so far or favorite song?

Personally, I love musicals and it might be because I worked in a theatre at one point.
We would constantly play musical songs while we worked and I think it got me into it way more because my favorite
used to be The Sound of Music. But now I think my favorite is Dear Evan Hansen (I know cliche).
Personally, I just think Ben Platt is super talented and the songs are so beautiful too.
They also are catchy and fun as well and I think I kind of like the actual musical as well even though I haven't seen it in person.

I have only seen some High School musicals and some College ones.
But the only professional one I've seen was Mary Poppins and at the time I didn't appreciate musicals as I do now.​

Love musicals.
There are very few pre 1980 that i have not seen.
Heck i have collectors version of My fair lady and some others. (Audrey Hepburn like )
My first set of music is full of soundtracks.
Most are just so fun.
I think i have always liked to watch stuff that makes me happy as opposed to scared, mad or sad.
Feed the hope not the fear.

We used to rent all the old ones and watch as a family.

I knew it was a true story which is super messy because of the age gap if I remember correctly but I didn't know they had a story about them.

Definitely don't disagree there but at least she was of age.
