www.quora.com/ do-people-like-musicals WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE MUSICALS? 11 Answers Paul Nelson, I have a masters from the Graduate Musical Theater Writing Program Author has 121 answers and 303.7K answer views Musicals represent a magical world which is not like our realistic world where we live. Therefore, experiencing a musical is an escape into a different, more interesting, more beautiful place. You should see a musical in the theatre. Indeed, musicals tend not to work as well in film - because a film is a more realistic expression. Musicals require a certain amount of freedom to imagine worlds which are unlike our own. This freedom gives musicals some wonderful advantages over other forms of storytelling. First, the songs allow a more emotional exploration of the character's feelings. They communicate emotion. Also, musicals are amazing at expressing 'the power of the community'. They can express the feeling of a group of people. Musicals accomplish this by having actors singing as a group (a chorus). This gives voice to the community in such a powerful way that is practically impossible in any TV show. To enjoy a musical, you must agree to enter this emotional world and accept it as the truth. If you want to try it out, you must see it in the theatre, live. Musicals work best in the context of the theater experience. If all you ever do is watch them on TV or in a cinema, then it is less enchanting. 4) Concentre-toi sur la réponse de Paul Nelson. a.
