30 Days of Musicals Meme
Sep. 26th, 2010 08:19 am10. Current musical obsession.
As a show, probably still Elisabeth, but for musicals in general, the Takarazuka Revue is where I've been hanging out for a while now. It has traditional stuff or modern, western and eastern, and every single role is played by an exceedingly well-trained and talented lady. What's not to love?
11. A musical that you hate.
Not hate, persay, but really, really don't understand the fuss about Wicked. I find the premise of taking one of the best film villains who tormented my childhood and turning her into a freedom fighter annoying and stupid. Especially setting it in school, because there are no words for how annoying I find the best-friends-in-high-school thing. I've only ever liked one version of Defying Gravity, and that was because of Willemijn Verkaik. Mostly, the show is a world of blah to me.
