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!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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!
Darling, when you're as old as I am, you cherish the very few musicals that have come your way that you know are great classics. You become their guardian.
I love musicals, but I find it's just so deadening. You know, 30 takes, you do a little piece here and a little piece there. There's hours and hours of waiting. And to me, that's as far away from real performance as you can get.
People in their early 20s are not often considered the target demographic for new plays; musicals have had much more success in exploring that coming-of-age period of life.
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.
I have to go back to my younger days, when I just adored Hollywood musicals.
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.
I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.
A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music.
