I find it incredibly odd that I love music, opera, and film, but I cannot and have not ever been able to sit through a musical. I've seen all the great ones, and they just make my stomach turn.

I just cannot take a musical. It's like they are all bad to me. Maybe it had something to do with being forced to watch Cats or Sound of Music in my school days.

It's funny, because I like a lot jazz standards that came from Broadway plays, but I think it has a lot to do with who sings the song and who arranges it.

Then again, I think Leonard Bernstein was one of the greatest conductors of his time for classical music, yet I cannot stomach West Side Story.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Phantom of the Paradise, Cry-Baby, Grease, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Forbidden Zone, Rock N' Roll High School, Bye Bye Birdie, Blues Brothers, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, old-school Disney musicals and all the 60's Beach movies are awesome! Most new musicals do suck though.
