"The Luckiest People in... the World"

So today I was trying to figure out what to write about and asked my dad to give me a suggestion. After about three failed suggestions (pfffft, who wants to read about Thelonious Monk (besides my survey of jazz teacher, who had to after I wrote a research paper about him)?), he suggested "musical theatre," which I decided was something I could write about.

Musical theatre is a magical thing. It can express everything that movie's can: be it tragedy, such as West Side Story; Comedy, such as Spamalot; Childrens' stories, such as The Lion King; or porn, such as Spring Awakening- musical theatre has it all.

And this brings me to my main point:

Musical theatre
Is something everyone loves
Despite what they say


That's right. It's impossible not to like musical theatre. You may say you don't, you may even think you don't, but no matter what you do like musical theatre. As I say above, it appeals to everyone. Just look at West Side Story, where all of the gang members dance. They're "cool" but they still sing and dance. The same thing goes for Grease.

The title of this post is from a Spamalot song called "You Won't Succeed on Broadway [if you don't have any Jews]."
