potentially crazy ex-girlfriend, since it has abysmal ratings and high production costs, but is just SO charming.

I've heard universally positive reviews, the ratings not being great surprises me.

It has an unfortunate name. It's part of the show and makes perfect sense, but without knowing that it sounds bad.

Also not everyone likes musicals because some people are broken inside.

I've discovered that I'm not inherently anti-musical, I'm just very picky when it comes to musicals.

Hamilton is good.

I don't know if I have a favourite musical or a least favourite musical.

Most have strong and weak parts, but there's something in all of them to love.

For musicals I've listened to the most it'd be Les Mis, Wicked, and then I'm not sure, it could be Chicago or Rent.

The pandora station that I listen to while playing video games is stage musicals, disney songs, and orchestral or chamber arrangements of video game music.

It's interesting, though. I really like Sondheim and think that he's very good at what he does, but yet somehow he doesn't make my favorite stuff. Maybe there's so much expertise at work that it loses a bit of the personal touch?

Most of his stuff is too dissonant for me.

I like individual songs in the musicals of his I know well (mainly West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, and Into the Woods), but overall I find the entire production difficult to listen to since I just want some nice, comfortable, familiar chord progression. I don't need innovation, I need something that sounds pleasant. A little bit of it is fine in moderation, but when your entire musical is off kilter like that, it just makes me uncomfortable.

Sondheim only wrote the lyrics for West Side Story, not the music.

Don't worry quidnose because here I come with good taste in musicals.

taylor from lifeline is really such a little snot. he's sleeping tonight in a derelict ship and he was awoken by skittering glowing green things, and he threw a temper tantrum because he wants to keep sleeping rather than investigate the MONSTERS THAT MIGHT EAT HIM DURING THE NIGHT I mean honestly that if anything proves he's a dude because no woman would ever be that reckless with their own safety. I am gender essential about very few things but that's one of them.
