If you could live in a musical

If you could live in a musical#1

Just for fun-if you could live in the world of a musical, which one would it be? Mine would be "The Sound of Music," there's something very enticing about the simplicity of the Capt. and Maria's love for each other and the children and the wonderful times they all have singing together. Not to mention Austria is breathtakingly beautiful.

yeah being a 19 year old nun seduced by a 45 year old man with 7 brats sounds like Heaven to me.
But the music sure is pretty
I think the story of HEDVIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is so much more exciting.
Of course i wanna be the Army Guy who found him.

Amour! I know it's full of whores and generally mean people, but it's so cartoony and french and has pretty tinkly music.

Or I Love You Because. BECAUSE COLIN HANLON WOULD BE THERE.

Somewhere, romantic:
The Light in the Piazza.

Somewhere, adventurous:
Fiddler on the Roof.

Somewhere, unfortunate:
Spring Awakening.

Somewhere, organic:
The Lion King.

Somewhere, entertaining:
Cabaret.

Somewhere, rapturous:
Miss Saigon.

Somewhere, stinking:
Sweeney Todd.

Somewhere, enthralling:
Carousel.

Somewhere, for any reason:
Avenue Q, of course.

Mamma Mia! Who wouldn't want to live on a Greek island where everyone is happy?

The Wedding Singer, because everything is happy and colorful and works out in the end. And because it would be fun to hang with the mutants at table 9.

Um...Hairspray hands down. The technicolour world of 1963, with the dancing and the music. Plus everyone looks good in their clothes and hairstyles (although maybe a little over the top). Plus my voice can suit that era very well...and if I'm gonna be living in a musical...that matters.

Was there ever any doubt, Akiva?

I would definitely live in THE WEDDING SINGER world. First off, getting to hang out with everybody! And I'd get to wear sweet 80's outfits, and I could spend Saturday nights in the city with Holly...wow, I would so be dating Holly if I was in WEDDING SINGER world :)
That is so ideal...

The Woman in White...what an incredible time period to live in...I loved the vividness of costumes' colors, and the projections (which would be REAL places if I lived there).

I love everything about that time period...the clothing, the hairstyles, the young lovers.

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

There are too many worlds to choose from...since I can't come up with a musical that would actually be a practical "place" to live, I'll say The Phantom of the Opera for my own sentimental reasons. I've always wanted to be right in the middle of all the action at the Paris Opera House.

I'd probably also want to "live in" Rent...can't imagine it would be too terribly fun, but I do miss those final days of dirty New York, circa 1995.

I can just imagine being transported to the "Mamma Mia" Greek island, only to discover that people there constantly sing Abba songs.

I think I'd prefer the Urinetown world to that!
