I love music and musicals, but I understand that they aren't for everyone. However, I think that this should change. Musicals and showtunes are amazing, and although not everyone will enjoy every musical, everyone can find a musical they will like! So here are 10 reasons I think that everyone should at least try a musical.
1. It's like watching a play and listening to music at the same time. It's double entertainment.
2. Some of the notes they can hit (high and low) are seriously incredible.
3. There are hundreds of different musicals, about everything from sports to orphans to rock music. You can find one that you're interested in.
4. They can do amazing things with setting, props, costumes, etc. if you pay attention.
5. If you've ever seen Les Mis, you'll agree: They can be incredibly powerful and emotional, and the music adds to the emotion. Let's be honest, who didn't cry when that little boy died?
6. They can be really funny, although not all of them are (See Wicked, Hairspray, etc.)
7. You'll understand way more cultural references, because there are tons if you pay attention!
8. When you get the soundtrack for these plays, they are actually amazing to sing to in the car. Even if you can't sing, you can go for it, because no one can hear you. It's more fun than rap in my opinion, although that is a personal preference. (Try Defying Gravity from Wicked. It's a great mood-lifter)
9. Most of them are relatable, upbeat, and exciting. In contrast to many musical performances, musicals keep you interested, have fast-paced plots, and are usually happy and exciting (there are definitely exceptions).
10. Who doesn't love a happy ending?
