I like some Musicals. It's just that sometimes, they can take up too much of the runtime. Especially if they seem so tediously irrelevant to the type of story the film is presenting. In the older musicals from the "age of musicals" the story was there largely to hold the musical numbers together. Think Fred and Ginger and Judy and Mickey and Gene and anybody !

I can't ezplain why I like Opera which is also a musical. I don't understand. Maybe because those are sung-through, so you get used to that quickly?

It’s definitely weird because anytime i see plays and performances irl I enjoy them. My cousins daughter is in a theatre program and I’ve been to a bunch of musicals that they’ve done, and they’re just kids, but I’ve enjoyed them plenty.
I also enjoy Disney films and stuff like Willy Wonka or Wizard of Oz...but the Singing in the Rain type stuff bores me to tears. Maybe it’s the fantastic nature of the stories that lend me to accept the musical nature of it? I don’t know.

Sulla I like some operas as long as they are not sung in English... cannot sit through one of those. When in a language I don't understand, the words just seem like more music. When in English, it's distracting hearing a two syllable word take ages to be sung .
