Title: Does anyone here enjoy Broadway show tunes?
Post by: Ichirou on March 08, 2007, 01:01:44 AM
I certainly do.  I like to sing them while I'm in the bath, as the bathroom has some nice acoustics.  My personal favorite is The Music Man.

I have a My Fair Lady poster hanging in my house back home (not in Japan).  :heartbeat

I love going to Broadway shows, especially the musicals, but also dramas.  I saw a Steppenwolf Theater production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest about seven years back with Gary Sinise in the lead.  It was an amazing performance, and I was in the third or fourth row so I was really up close.

I've also seen Broadway productions of Beauty & The Beast, Kiss Me Kate, The Music Man, Bells Are Ringing, and a few others.  I have an extensive collection of show tunes and I just looooove to listen to them while I'm riding on the train.  Sometimes I feel like the entire train is going to burst out into a choreographed dance number!!!!!

I know him IRL so it's even funnier to me.  :sp0rsk1

...but it still feels slightly meanspirited to use it.  He's a decent guy.

I'm sure he'd get a laugh out of it too. Unless he has no emotions, as it seems on his youtube vids.

I saw the Lion King on Broadway. Actually, it was at the Atlanta Fox Theatre. It was really good though.

I do, but not when people sing tunes from Cabaret or Les Mis during karaoke. That sucks total.

What about if they sing from Guys and Dolls or Fiddler on the Roof?

My wife is a theatrically trained singer, and she's one of those uber-hardcore Broadway fanatics. Next to my Yoko Kanno autographed Japanese theatrical Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door poster in the den are posters autographed by the original Broadway cast of Rent, and one from A Chorus Line. What a freakish combination we are.

The only musicals I've been able to get into are A New Brain, Hedwig & The Angry Inch, and Avenue Q.

Everyone should Hedwig performed live, it's a truly magical experience.

I've ended relationships over show tunes. Fuck that shit. Only Liz Lemon can get away with that

He has emotions.

Megalomania is an emotion, right?  :D
