Why do I get the scary feeling that some people on here are grading shows they have not seen....

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

I graded all and only the shows I have seen. And I agree, that I have not really seen a show yet that I did not like. Maybe I make good choices or maybe I am just easy to please. Either is fine with me.

ugh, i wish i were like that, i try to find positive things in the shows i didn't enjoy, but overall if i enjoyed 5 minutes out of 3 hours, it means the show wasn't good enough for me.

Yeah, I've liked everything I've seen except for 42nd Street and Bombay Dreams. But I actually enjoyed myself somewhat at Bombay Dreams, but I wanted to claw my own eyes and ears out during 42nd Street. (Both of those were tours though)

Rentboy, when you saw Bombay Dreams, you said you liked it and now you hated it? LOL!!!

Anyways, i am glad we agree on "The Wedding Singer" ! i went to see it again, i couldn't get enough of it. And even if you didn't love "Bombay Dreams" at least you got to see it.

I just didn't like it. I couldn't understand what they were saying, the singing wasn't good, the story was bland, and the acting was too over the top. And after doing some reading, I understand that that style of acting is intentional, but I didn't care for it. And I didn't like how the stage hands moved things, it was too distracting. But don't feel bad, I'm glad I saw it. Plus, my sister's new favorite song is "shakalaka Baby"
