High Noon: Musicals? Bah, Humbug!

At the end to a response re: the tempest-in-a-teapot controversy involving the Lake City Playhouse production of “Rent,” Meesterbox said: “On a side note, I don’t plan on watching this play. I had a bad experience with a musical as a child.” To which I responded: “I (heart) musicals. Play ‘em in my 4Runner to & from work, and while I’m running around town. Favorite: “Phantom of the Opera.” No. 2: “Les Miserables.” Got ‘em both, as well as “Evita,” “Chicago,” “Rent,” ‘O Brother Where Art Thou?” and more. (Need to buy “Cats.”) Could fill out a top 10 easily. I also like poetry, too. Dunno how the above happened with a trucker dad and two trucker brothers.”

Question: Do you like/dislike musicals?
