think of all the musicians we'd have to have...

and all that paper wasted on countless reams of sheetmusic!

We could do it like John Doyle, everyone in the world would be themselves, and also play an instrument. Accompany each other.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Plus there are a lot of people I don't want to hear singing all the time. Especially when they get sad and have to sing a ballad. Run away!

I'm not sure I understand this thread at all...

I think it would be better titled "why life can't be a musical"

In an alternate universe, I would only request to sing the Money Song with Joel Grey and have the body to fit into that black outfit that Liza M wore. hey, I can dream

Because the lighting sucks.

because i don't want to hear my friends attempting to sing.

I also don't think it would work because usually everyone is very cheery and when they're sad its usually resolved within 30 minutes, whereas real life is kind of depressing and it would take years to fix certain issues.

But, I would love to sing with Hunter Foster.

But, like, OH! MY! GOD! we could, like, paint everything pink and fuschia and everyone could have a perfect education and wear, like, you know, perfect shoes and have perfect accesories. And we'd be, like, all witty and funny and stuff, like, all the time!!!! It'd be so OH MY GOD fabulous!!!!!

Now *why* the h*ll cant my life be like that?????
