Just too damned much interruption or, just as bad, elongation of the story line. I don't suppose that makes me any less gay than I am. (Is there really such a thing as more or less gay?) Anyway, good post, Dorien.

I love musicals of ...I feel very much left out now. I love musicals of all kinds and yet I am not a gay man. Where does that leave me in the big scheme of things? Sigh...<br /><br />Just kidding, I think. <br /><br />I think musicals provide escape for many of us, for many different---very personal---reasons. <br /><br />For me, the most obvious draw is my love for music. And add choreography and I'm in heaven. And it's been that way since I was a child. <br /><br />I just recently saw the newest film version of Les Miserable and it was so divine, making me long for the studios to make more film musicals. I think more people love them than the producers realize.<br /><br /><br /><br />Vastine Bonduranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060304787831671972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38849125.post-46915615306119789002013-04-03T06:02:21.859-07:002013-04-03T06:02:21.859-07:00I think it's really tragic that DVDs aren'...I think it's really tragic that DVDs aren't available for all Broadway shows!Dorien Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368404433503621343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38849125.post-53345553193586254682013-04-03T06:00:12.122-07:002013-04-03T06:00:12.122-07:00I have gay friends who never tire of going to see ...I have gay friends who never tire of going to see the latest musical showing downtown. They'll even travel to see them. Me? I have to be dragged kicking and screaming even though 8 times out of 10 I'll love the show. And if I love it and there's another musical playing the next day, I'll be dragged kicking and screaming then, too.<br /><br />Watching a musical at home on DVD or Blu-Ray like Xanadu or Grease? I'm there. And if I'm not watching those, my gay gene for musicals was accidentally given to me in the form of a horror movie gene.Kristoffer Gairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862202554700556478noreply@blogger.com
