You ironically took a dramatic stance on a tired, boring take, “I don’t like musicals.” Cool, neat, have an opinion. Then you peppered it with some better-than, smarter-than, still says “bitchy” attitude.

Bad scripts don’t get turned into musicals because it’s easier than writing a good script and getting on with it. That’s like building a rocket ship to escape a sinking canoe. People like singing and dancing. So music, lyrics and choreography share two-hours with story. It’s writing on hardest mode while juggling two plus other artforms entirely.

So much to say about something you don’t like or understand. You make it fun to laugh at you.
