    No one sang at all and it was a young highly female audience. Was dead silent except for a few laughs and gasps. They did clap at the end though.

    I liked them both. I wasnt really Barbie’s target audience but I thought is was clever juxtaposition of gender roles. Opp to me was good if you realized it wasn’t about the bomb but about Oppie.

    I just read that to my wife and she was extremely surprised. Glad you had a good viewing experience.

    I find this fascinating.
    There has to be something to the difference in our personality.
    I actually like musicals.
    But I hated wicked and abhorred Hamilton.
    And clearly you and I have so much in common otherwise…lol.

    Prior to watching Hamilton, I listened to the music and read the lyrics several times so I would understand what was going on since I find it hard to understand rap music.

    Phantom, Annie, Little Shop of Horrors, Grease, Star is Born, west side story, greatest showman, and it’s hard not to enjoy Beauty and the Beast.

    “Phantom” on Broadway totally changed my tune. Went begrudgingly, LOVED it. Saw Lion King, Les Mis, others, uniformly loved them.

    On one trip, I saw the “Jenna Jamison Theater” while walking the town. I said “Oh, Jenna Jamison has her own spot?” and the GF said “Who is Jenna Jamison?”

    Uh-oh….

    Phantom of the Opera, my wife and I saw it in Toronto and Gene Simmons was singing the Phantom.
    Hamilton is probably my favorite
    Jersey Boys was so so
    I loved Book of Mormon, saw it twice, never laughed so hard in a musical.

    Wicked was good. Well cast, and nobody sung in the theater. Saw Wicked live a few years ago, and play is better. But for a movie adaption, they did a great job.

    Lion King is a fun live show to see. But Aladdin, in my opinion, was even better.

    Dated a good who adored the classic musicals. I saw them all’s
    The only ones I’ve seen since ( 49 years later)
    I took my wife to see Phantom of the Opera in New York, We saw wicked in Tampa, and watched Hamilton and Greatest Showman on TV
    I don’t like musicals in general but those four were ok.
    When we built the house I had a wall planned for a large tv and built in surround. It’s not a movie theatre… it’s my living room. Greatly prefer to see movies at home.
    As for gladiator… I’m sad. The first was and an epic movie and cinema masterpiece. I feel the second will look like Michael Bay directed it
