Weez: What kind of iPod do you have? Sorry. Random.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

Second generation iPod Nano, 8GB, red, bought when I was in NYC a couple of years ago. Her name is Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre and she has many showtunes on her. XD

My big question is...
What is happening to non-adapted musicals?
Any successful ones in recent history?
I fear musical theatre has steered towards adaptations because they need a selling point and target audience. This greatly detracts from the art, and kind of frustrates me.

Don't get me wrong... there are some clever adaptations out there that I appreciate.
