It was Hamilton. Then they took me to see the Spongebob musical a week later. I have seriously been missing out.
Also highly recommend Dear Evan Hansen and Mean Girls. Too bad this is the only way normies will ever see DEH

You think OP?
Theatre? No.
Musical? Total fag (like 90% of musical actors).
Gay black kids are the best theater kids
Even the women?
I tried to watch les miserables and I just don't get it. I couldn't get past the first 'song' when they jackedman is still in prison. It was so grating and had no rhythm whatsoever. I hate that style. Oliver Twist is the best musical.
Not that there is anything wrong with it but the fact is anyone who likes theater and especially musicals is really gay and he is in denial if he thinks he's straight. What is the appeal of musicals?
Where's Little Shop of Horrors?
>can’t get past first song
>doesnt like it
fuck mate thats a pretty shit opinion
I mean sweeney todd was a massive grind for me but at least now I can appreciate that one song about the razors, can’t judge it if you havent seen it
Sweeney todd also rubbed me the wrong way on the first watch but now I like it. I just really hated that song. I start thinking about the actors willingly singing this crap and the director who says, "Yea that sounds good". It just makes me so angry I can't go on.
Too shave-ah da face
yeah idk, imo a lot of musicals have shit first songs
but hugh jackman is a legend in it, worth watching just for him
or see a good stage production, even better
I remember watching the les mis movie (2012) for the first time and I was really blown away as to how much I liked it.
It was my first musical that I watched from beginning to the end.
Then I watched the stage plays and the high school plays and I just couldn't stop watching more and more.
Eventually I jumped to Phantom of the Opera and it became my next favorite thing.
Quite surprised how much I was missing out on.
>the Beetlejuice Musical isn't coming back thanks to the extension of broadway closing due to the batsoup virus to June (passing BJ’s planned closing night)
I watched the Spongebob musical when they televised it, man that was fun.
You might wanna watch it on amazon because subsequent reruns cut off 30 minutes
If you're a man who likes art of any kind normies will think you're gay.
I enjoy acting in both traditional shows and musicals, but in my experience it's the pure theatre actors that are more likely to be queens, dykes and all-around weirdos. Outside the chorus and dance roles, the main cast of musicals tend to be slightly less gay, but it also depends on the musical. Any Fosse show? It's gonna be a fucking Pride Day parade on stage. Oklahoma? Those cowboys are likely doing unspeakable things during intermission while whistling surrey with the fringe on top.
phantom is pretty based imo but it gets a bad rap
miss saigon and fiddler on the roof were the two that I felt like I missed out on, kinda wrote them off forever then watched them and they just clicked, so good
What do you guys like about musicals?
For me other than the songs it's the costumes and the over the top melodrama.
Musicals are fucking shit and gay as fuck. I do however love films with well incorporated music, like Inside Llewyn Davis or O Brother Where Art Though?
Are Golden Age of Hollywood musicals worth it?
Like Fred Astaire tier tapdancing and big band musicals. That stereotype.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HOW PUT DOWN WE ARE
for me, its turandot
>Eventually I jumped to Phantom of the Opera
Ultimate pleb filter. Great score, sure, but godawful script.
Tbh I don't really cate about the script.
But I really like the songs, the over the top drama, the costumes and the setting.
It's great.
I'M JUST A SWEET TRANSVESTITE
Then you’ll love cats if that’s the case
I don't know a lot of cats but it seems to have a more lighthearted tone.
I like my musicals to be over the top dark and dramatic.
All of that, certainly, but my favorite part is when the actors dial into the moment and you can see them really enjoying themselves on stage as they play off the audience's energy: youtube.com
Most movie based musicals are like that.
I’d also add in RENT but your mileage may vary because most people who grew up loving RENT now hate it with a passion because of how awful the characters are
He's not even that bad desu, he's just not quite up to the rest of the cast, who are excellent. Les Mis was the first musical movie in which the songs were sung by the actors during the takes and then used in the movie, they didn't record the music separately and overdub, which is the standard for musical films. This gave us a different, more theatrical feel to the show, including Crowe's singing.
Checked and true
Every single one of these is terrible
where does The Marriage of Figaro rate on this scale, turbopleb?
Musicals are just operas for plebs.
you should unironically try Wagner.
This is complete bullshit and something very modern. 30 years ago a man enjoying musicals, ballet, opera, etc wws perfectly acceptable and no one thought anything of it. But because millennials are such insecure manchildren, apparently it's okay to watch stupid anime shows and play fag shit like Animal Crossing, but god forbid you enjoy watching The Sound of Music.
>want to go to the theatre to watch musicals and plays
>friendless autist so no friends to go with and I don't want to go by myself
it's really unfortunate as the internet has made all that material universally available, moreso than ever before. there is no distinction between low and high art now except for people's own limitations.
take your mother/grandmother
sounds like you enjoy more watching things with friends than the things you watch themselves
Oh no, it's set in the 80s
Best musical is fiddler on the roof
millenials have buried theater. boomers dug the grave.
>dear evan hanson
>hamilton
no fiddler on the roof, no avenue q. Shameful. Hamilton was made for self hating white faggots, and rap singing is literally the worst thing that i have seen in theaters, which is a shame because lin manuel has a golden ear for melody. also not one nog in the theater when I saw it because they cant afford tickets, and if they could they generally dont care about history even if you replace everyone with wakandans. Unless it's egyptians, then they care for some reason. Book of mormon should be #1. i hate this list and by extension you and all boomers and millenials. My generation is going to make theater great again.
All sung through musicals are pure shit and Andrew Lloyd Webber is the worst thing that ever happened to musical theater.
>Hamilton was made for self hating white faggots, and rap singing is literally the worst thing that i have seen in theaters, which is a shame because lin manuel has a golden ear for melody.
lol every part of this sentence is fucking wrong.
Gay or not it there should be a metal musical
>Hamilton was made for self hating white faggots
this is objectively correct. its the whites who made it a hit and they are the only ones who saw it in theater, and said it was
>important
bunch of assholes.
>lin manuel has a golden ear for melody
how can anyone watch moana not come away thinking the same thing, ridiculous.
>worst thing I saw in theaters
ok thats bullshit, i admit. Hamilton was very good but the rap nonsense annoyed me to no end.
Different user here but for me an important part of art and media is talking about it with other people. That's why I'm here in the first place. Art is enjoyable by itself but it also connects people.
Hamilton is awful though
>theatre
Nothing wrong with that
>musicals
faggot
