Musicals

[BBx]

In general, I LOVE musicals! I love the dancing, singing and experience of it all.

Recently though I have been a bit :/ there may be spoilers here...

Wicked
Soooo many people said 'its AMAZING!!! You'll love it' but, I totally didn't get it. I think what I didn't 'get' was the fact that someone has just made up a story based on characters in Wizard of Oz... but that's how most musicals have evolved right? It never really interested me... but the singing and production was AMAZING! Even though I didn't know any of the songs... but I borrowed my cousin's soundtrack and listen to it all the time. I think I will try and get some cheap tickets and see it again as I missed the second half (was knackered and fell asleep).

Dirty Dancing
Another one ITS AMAZING/FANTASTIC!!!AM SEEING IT AGAIN.
It was lacklustre and BORING!!! Give me the film anytime!!! I do not understand the hype around this musical. There is barely any singing and a lot of dancing (obviously) but not AMAZING dancing, like in Fame or Saturday Night Fever. They spent too much time on the american accents and Jonny (although having a fit bod) was a total minger... and too short.

Baby was ok, well cast, looked like her, but the best person was the girl who played Penny (the one who gets knocked up) she was a fantastic dancer.

Unfortunately I had a can of redbull during the interval as I didn't want to miss the end of another show, but tbh I wish I had snoozed through the second half.

The best bit was the end (obviously) and they didn't get a standing ovation (maybe 4 people in the stalls).

Do you become more critical with age!? :/
