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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't see that many plays, and for me, musicals are rarely pleasing.
I'm open to the idea of doing more musicals if it's one that I really enjoy.
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.
No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, 'Well it's obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some time with music.'
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 love musicals; I love the ballet, opera, the circus. It's all performance to me.
The musicals that leave us kind of staggering on our feet are the ones that really reach for a lot.
I mean, I've done musicals, but it's not my best thing.
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!
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?
