Is anyone else here into musicals? Either the musical as a whole or the story of it or the music or even just a song from a musical! I’m personally into musical theatre and like seeing musicals/listening to songs from musicals. I use Spotify and they’ve made me six daily mix playlists and three of them consist of songs from musicals
You can also talk about movie musicals but this is mostly about live musicals!
I’m not sure if this is in the right topic, I was debating between music and film and tv but chose this since this topic isn’t really about films/tv shows (although they could be discussed if they’re like La La Land or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend which have songs in them, but I mostly mean traditional musicals that are performed live)
I’ve seen both of the mamma mia movies and I have seen the musical too at the city near me. Mamma Mia is good and I really like the music but I wouldn’t say it’s the best
It’s up there though (well actually idk lol), although if I were ranking the musicals I’ve seen, it would be more toward the bottom (maybe because the girl playing Sophie just annoyed me)
I think I like the movie more than the musical
I’ve been to quite a few musicals when I was younger, more like the family friendly ones like Tarzan and Lion King. Mainly with my grandma I’ve seen quite a few
I haven’t seen either of those although I almost saw the lion king when I was young but cried because I didn’t want to see it since I didn’t like the movie rip
The most recent one is the Lion King for me, that’s already a few years ago now. I think somewhere between 2 and 3… It’s so expensive here to go to a musical
Oh yeah, I don’t know where you’re from but it’s expensive here too to go to a musical rip
I live like an hour and a half to two hours from NYC so I have watched most musicals on broadway but I have watched some in the city close to me but they’re still expensive
There are lotteries that you can enter though, I’ve won a couple and gotten cheaper tickets
And if you go to nyc there is a ticket booth thing where you can get tickets to some musicals on the same day that they’re showing it and you get a pretty good deal although it it still expensive
Ohh, that is really cool tho, even if it is expensive I guess that it’s at Broadway makes it even more special! I’m from the Netherlands, idk, here we don’t have many musicals that aren’t focused on the kids. We have a few but usually those aren’t that good, so that’s another reason I haven’t seen one in a while since there hasn’t been any that interested me
