I hate musicals too. <BR/>'Cannibal: The Musical' being the exception. The story of Alferd Packer, as told by Trey Parker. Alferd Packer ate his friends in the mountains here one winter when they got stuck in snow. As you can imagine, that translates to a great musical.Chandirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11629463765622067086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18373305.post-64493994528059646682007-04-18T12:16:00.000+01:002007-04-18T12:16:00.000+01:00Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of ...<I>Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West</I> is a grand book. I would happily recommend it to almost anyone. If you look at the libretto of <I>Wicked</I> you might be somewhat reassured. Lyrics like: <I>‘ I hope you’re proud/How you would grovel in submission/To feed you own ambition’</I> are very Elphaba.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10882543653925973357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18373305.post-21923175279335028312007-04-18T11:08:00.000+01:002007-04-18T11:08:00.000+01:00Do you have any idea how gay it sounds to hear you...Do you have any idea how gay it sounds to hear you and Dickon talking about going to musicals?Kid Atarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18373305.post-81073876948621764272007-04-18T09:17:00.000+01:002007-04-18T09:17:00.000+01:00Ìve just finished reading 'wicked' - it would be i...Ìve just finished reading 'wicked' - it would be interesting to see how well it adapts to a musical..

Have to wait 'til it's out on tour. The podcast is coming out soon--may be worth the time, eh?<BR/><BR/>I've heard a lot of good things about Wicked as well. Now, that's on tour here in June--can't wait!<BR/><BR/>It's funny, isn't it, what Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03345110886898577933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18373305.post-74774917595137926212007-04-17T19:15:00.000+01:002007-04-17T19:15:00.000+01:00Zirelda – Life is performance without rehearsal, s...Zirelda – Life is performance without rehearsal, so living it as a musical may be no bad thing.

That alone could lighten up life which we all need at times.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like a wonderful experience. We don't get much of that here since we are a culturally deficient area (aka rural.) <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the glimpse.zireldahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14792721036817871681noreply@blogger.com
