It’s from the maker of Firefly, Joss Whedon. and has Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother among other things, Felicia Day who I know from The Guild, and Nathan Fillion from Firefly.

And no, musicals are still bad.

The majority is dialogue is done in song. I really don’t know why this is so appealing. Not to me I mean. The people who regularly watch musicals. You can display much more precise emotion in dialogue than in song. It may be less exaggerated but in a musical it seems that everything is over exaggerated.

And the protagonist and antagonist seem to sing together. Merrily. Perhaps a bit of dramatic irony. Perhaps a bit of “Hey, let’s make them sing together because that’s what a musical is about.” You should never ever change your content to fit the medium. Change the medium to fit your content.

Less singing.

My message? Tell people that they are going to a musical before they get in the car so they can make a shitty excuse to get out of it.
