i’m such a goofball when it comes to musicals. they just make my heart sing. pick a topic and it’s probably been set to music: brothels, murder, kings, queens (of both kinds), cannibalism, star wars, the old west, and so on and so forth. i have a soft spot of the old mgm grand productions, but i can be converted by the new as well (see moulin rouge). give me violins, coreographed dance numbers and swelling songs where there should be serious dialogue and i’m in heaven.
