Posted: 5/13/07 at 7:53amCan you imagine how much pay the unions would ask for? Cost prohibitive.

Posted: 5/13/07 at 11:01amWe could do it like John Doyle, everyone in the world would be themselves, and also play an instrument. Accompany each other.
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.

Posted: 5/13/07 at 11:54amPlus 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 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 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?????
