Arrogance in Musical Theater?

I don't know why but I find musical theater to be, at times, the most arrogant form of art. I really really do not know why. Perhaps because it is showing how triple-threated everyone is. Like "I'm looking down upon you, you pitiful groundling. Look at how I sing! Dance! AND ACT! AND YOU REMAIN A GROUNDLING! HA HA HA!"

Should I perhaps just stop thinking and take up a hobby like LSD or something?

Because it's like when I listen to singers holding notes and I think "*sigh* They just want to steal precious seconds from everyone's life by turning "me" into "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"."

Um, duh?

I sincerely hope that was a failed attempt at sarcasm, Q

C_S, dear, fewer E's and I won't have to scroll to read the messages on this thread. Just a thought...

DayDreamer, you are far too kind with your wording.

Arrogance is someone so desperate to be noticed he throws the thread out of alignment. And if they feel others look down upon them then they're displaying their self esteem issues.

Wait, you mean there's arrogant people in musical theater? That it's just a microcosm of the world at large and not a fluffy paradise filled with bunnies and rainbows? Madness!

And as long as this thread is distorted I'm not coming back. Some people ought to know better.

I once got told 'performers will be the most supportive yet the most comeptitive people you ever meet' and even at my lowly level it is true
I guess it is just part of the job, making others notice you

I'll say that it does get a bit tiresome when people seem to think they're special just because they know so and so broke her leg in act two of whatever play or things to that effect.

I think so. I get tired of people who push their opinions so hard (often the same opinion repeatedly) that it seems like they think their opinions are better than everyone elses.
