I thought it was shite and turned off half an hour in, I'd watched Bohemian Rhapsody just before, miles better, but there's only so many 70s rock bummer musicals you can take i guess Like the time Deep Impact and Armageddon came out at the same time, still not bothered watching the latter as I saw the former first, same story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 1 hour ago, jmjhb said: I can tolerate most of the classic musicals, but the vast majority of the new ones are utter shite That's a bit harsh considering there are hundreds made each year that do really well. This year there is a Bob Marley musical at the lyric which will be interesting, my other half is working on Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Cinderella which are massive budget shows as well as looking after Wicked which for a 'new' musical is stupidly popular - and also there has been Hamilton which has brought loads of non musical fans in to watch it. Given its songs, even Rudy might like it and it's story of American politics. It's actually a bit of a golden age after years of jukebox musicals which weren't very inventive.

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 6, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2021 I will never ever understand the appeal of watching some dialogue and plot getting going, then the characters all starting to sing the lines and prance around. Films about bands that have their songs in aren’t musicals, BTW. Musicals are those cringeworthy monstrosities that just turn dialogue into songs when there’s absolutely no need whatsoever. You could quite honestly tell me that Radiohead have done a musical and I still wouldn’t watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
