Musicalphobia

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

I have a problem. I'm scared of musicals. Especially The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Carousel (spelt wrong) and Calamity Jane. And the Wizard of Oz. Dear God, yes, the wizard of Oz.

****ing creepy. They do for me what clowns and priests do for three-year-olds.

Why is this? How do I get over this?





Ok, Frada, you can lock the thread now...

Bar a few exceptions (Les Miserables, Westside Story - ish, Cabaret) it's not an unreasonable phobia. In fact, NOT having an Andrew Lloyd Webber phobia is much more of a concern...

Get in a bath and let Ant and Dec fill it up with 1000's of Annie's

Thank you! Someone understands! I feel healed! AT least I did until I read this...

Cover the kids faces in a custard pie-like substance?

I'm not scared of them. I just really dislike most of them.

Is there a name for that?

Taste perhaps.

"Not a fan of musicals"

Borneo Fnctn

The only good musicals (if you can call them that) are
1. The Blues Brothers
2. The Producers
3. The Flight of The Conchords



I was brought to see Sweeney Todd last year. I was disgusted when Johnny Depp started singing and I realized it was a musical. **** him and Tim Burton.

TheRealist

The new ones are worse. High School Musical is terrifying!

fintonie

the best thing to do is stop working out and eat a lot less fiber.

CrazyRabbit

Altogether now...

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

FearDark

Does the South Park movie count as a musical, if so, yes - I love musicals.

NSFW!

How could you have not known it was a musical?

Having said that, even knowing in advance that the Mamma Mia movie was probably going to be painful didn't stop it doing its best to spoil the 1970s, ABBA, Meryl Streep and Greece for me. Appallingly awfully painful. Almost none of those people could sing. I miss Marni Nixon overdubbing all the women who can't sing in musicals.

Just watch Dancer in the Dark. It's the anti-musical (if there is such a thing). Follow that up with some Sondheim and you'll see that not all musicals have to be sugary-sweet shíte.

BTW, Wizard of Oz is good (so I don't know what your problem is). TBH the only musicals I *really* can't stand are this awful new-generation "yes we know we can't sing but that's ok!" crap like MamaMia (one of the worst experiences of my life having to sit thru that garbage. I felt like chewing my own head off long before the end.)

The TV spots deliberatly gave no indication that it was a musical. Add to this that not everyone would be familiar with the stage version to begin with.

That must suck when you try to go to gigs. Do you have to stand facing the back of the venue or how does it work?

There will be if you vote me in as AH mod.


VOTE ANONOBOY FOR MOD FOR SOME UNFATHOMABLE REASON!!!!

Excellent.

I'm going to follow a strict policy of banning anybody with any alphanumeric character in their name when I become Mod. That'll sort out AH.
