I've heard lots of good things about it. I have most of the soundtrack in MP3...

 

[Johnny O]

I saw it in Pittsburgh last year, it was great.

 

[Arthur Akard]

We saw it last year in New York City. Very funny!

I'm not much into musicals but I would like to see it. Just remember the Man Rule. You are entitled to see up to 10 musicals in your life. Any more and you WILL turn gay.

 

[James FreemanJr]

I wanted to go see it with my girlfriend but tickets were like $120/each

 

[Bill V]

TomT--I'm glad your "Man Rule" only applies to musicals, not to operas. If it applied to that, I'd lost my man credentials about every 24 months...

 

[Mark Grumpy]

Sorry Bill.

by definition from websters

Opera 1. a form of theatrical presentation in which a dramatic performance is set to music

and

musical 3. set to or accompanied by music

You can no longer play in the Man pool.

[Tom Schindler]

Well, since Looney Tunes cartoons are set to music and just about all kids watched Looney Tunes, none of us can play in the "Man Pool".

[Bill V]

grumpy--The definition you provided for "musical" is the adjective form of the word. What definition do you show for the noun form, which is the form we're discussing here?



As Caymen points out--your definition would rule out anyone who's seen Looney Toons, or most movies, or the opening credits of "The A Team".

 

[Tom Schindler]

Bill V,



Remember, it is spelled Looney Tunes, not Looney Toons. The reason? Because it was a musical.

That's what's so great about it - arguing in jest or in earnest is just fun.



:lol: After looking at Tom's link, looks like I'm out too.



Adjective, noun; what's the difference?

 

[Bill V]

Adjective, noun; what's the difference?

Without referencing Webster's or the like, my take on it is that "musical", the noun, refers to a genre (primarily of American origins) of theatrical or cinematic productions whose plot is developed using musical numbers.



"Musical", the adjective, on the other hand, refers to anything or anyone that emits or composes sounds that some people may interpret to be music. This can therefore describe everything from an orchestra, to the rear end of someone who can fart the William Tell Overture.

 

[TomT]

the rear end of someone who can fart the William Tell Overture

Now THAT I would pay to see.

If you've gone to see The Vagina Monologes...
