I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What's great about musicals is their energy and go-for-brokeness - stopping the story to sing and dance. How can you not love that?
I grew up in a time when the only musicals were animated musicals because nobody wanted to see people to break into song.
When you're doing the traditional musicals, singing songs that are 40 and 50 years old, you realize there's a reason why those musicals are hits. These are amazing songs!
I mean, I've done musicals, but it's not my best thing.
I used to sing songs from musicals all the time as a kid.
We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat.
Musicals are hard for me because I got thrown out of the glee club in high school, because I couldn't sing in tune at the time. I can sing in tune now, but I have to work really hard on it to make sure that I don't exercise one of my great talents, which is the ability to sing in three keys at the same time.
I've auditioned for musicals a lot, but I think my voice didn't really match what they were looking for. I went to school for musical theater for a year and dropped out. Legit musicals are not quite my forte.
I wasn't planning on doing musicals, but that's how I started.
It's almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - I'm a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.
