How about dancing and singing farmers from nowhere hickville. And on top of that, they will not have the glitz and glamour of the usual musical that everyone adores. How absurd.

I know I made that comment about the movies turning into musicals.......I have seen the error of my ways. And what is this about a book? People actually read?

how about a whackado who thinks she sees a hairy beast and talks to singing pots and pans?

There are some people in the world who say that writing stories, or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherf*ckers in the teeth...[tos]

As long as there is never a musical about people who have to pay to urinate. That would end theatre as we know it.
