New Re: The Essential Question
Star Wars.

Grease just adds fuel to my theory that there are no good musicals.

New er no good *new* musicals, you mean?
New No.

Act.

Or sing.

Make up your mind.

New Tell it to Aristophanes
-drl
New ..German soldier, WW-II
(in one of those rare occasions where there were opposing trenches a la WW-I)

German stands up and SHOUTS, Roosevelt is a Jerk!
. . . {things go quiet, a bit}

American GI gets up SHOUTS, Hitler is an Ass!
. . .
. . .
The two scramble out of the trenches, meet halfway and shake hands!
Then they're shot
So much for critics' opinions
(Predict: Your fate shall be er Operatic or maybe Light-operatic, as in Oklahoma!):

New Re: The Essential Question
Then you better eliminate most of the classic Disney cartoons. They're basically musicals.

New Re: The Essential Question
Yep, hate them too.

New Guess you haven't seen...
This is Spinal Tap.
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Wall (actually an adult cartoon to music)
Quadrophenia (The Who)
Heavy Metal
I would even almost count Almost Famous as a musical.
(there are probably more, I just can't remember them right now)

Try some of those and see if you change your mind.

You're just looking for the cutsie musicals that all the women like.

Music Man
Sound of Music
Oklahoma
Wizard of OZ
etc.

New Re: Guess you haven't seen...
Add:
Hair
Jesus Christ Superstar
West Side Story
Titanic The Musical
Starlight Express (a broadway one)
Yeah, not all musicals were done by Rodgers and Hammerstein, although they are good too!
