I am European (Belgian) and i'm aware that musicals have been getting more attention here only in the last 10 years too. It must be something Anglo-Saxon, which I will never understand. Seen some, and it never pleased me at all. I'm not for screaming or cheesy vocals, framed in magnified clichés I know, it's just me. To me, musicals and funk (in this case) could not be more distant from each other, musically. "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) |

I don't mind a PR musical if that will get more peeps into P, then go for it.
And blocking everything else for 2 years (or who knows for how long) of PR is insane.

Despite anyone's taste, theater is high art and live entertainment. Its creators and publishers of works get paid the largest, too. All of this should be considered--heck, or not! Vannormal said:

At one time, a lot of the movies made in Hollywood were either musicals or westerns. Or both in the case of Paint Your Wagon, lol. Both started to lose popularity in the 1970s, but occasionally a movie musical becomes a hit. Today, movie musicals are very popular in India, known as Bollywood movies. There's even singing and dancing in some Indian action movies. Madea (Tyler Perry) originated in gospel music stage plays. Tyler Perry is now a billionaire and owns his own movie studio. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I'm in Minneapolis right now for PP (great !) and some other visits. It used 2 snow (a little) two days ago. "Money won't buy U happiness but it'll pay 4 the search." |

Nice! enjoy it, plus the snow. It would be nice if you could share some details of your visit. What kind of tour did you take? How was it?
