The thing about movie musicals is that there have been some brilliant ones, but when they're bad, they're really bad - big white elephants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've loved musicals ever since I saw 'The Lion King' on Broadway.
The movie adaptations of stage musicals that I've seen, without exception, in my opinion don't work. A lot of people would disagree with me.
I hate musicals, especially film musicals.
The musicals that leave us kind of staggering on our feet are the ones that really reach for a lot.
I hate musicals. There, I said it.
I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap, and I see why. There is a certain slickness - there's nothing better than an amazing musical, but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.
Look at the darkest hit musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - they are exuberant experiences. They send you out of the theater filled with music.
There's been so many different types of musicals, and it's a funny genre because there's a fine line between clever and stupid. It really takes a genius to know how to do it.
I like musicals that look more like plays.
Slightly forgettable movies can sometimes make great musicals.
