What the hell are musicals? |
| [00:01.58] |
It appears to be a play where the dialog stops and the plot is conveyed through song |
| [00:07.75] |
Through song? |
| [00:08.73] |
Yes |
| [00:09.79] |
Wait, wait, wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then out of nowhere he just starts singing? |
| [00:15.59] |
Yes |
| [00:16.83] |
Well that is the— |
| [00:18.45] |
Stupidest thing that I have ever heard |
| [00:21.20] |
You're doing a play, got something to say |
| [00:24.09] |
So you sing it? It's absurd |
| [00:26.44] |
Who on Earth is going to sit there |
| [00:29.01] |
While an actor breaks into song? |
| [00:33.36] |
What possible thought could the audience think |
| [00:37.19] |
Other than "this is horribly wrong?" |
| [00:42.10] |
Remarkably, they won't think that |
| [00:45.27] |
(Seriously? Why not?) |
| [00:47.08] |
Because— |
| [00:48.48] |
It's... a... musical |
| [00:52.57] |
A musical |
| [00:54.54] |
And nothing's as amazing as a |
| [00:56.98] |
Musical |
| [00:58.14] |
With song and dance |
| [01:00.14] |
And sweet romance |
| [01:02.20] |
And happy endings happening |
| [01:04.24] |
By happenstance |
| [01:06.08] |
Bright lights, stage fights |
| [01:08.02] |
And a dazzling chorus |
| [01:09.98] |
You wanna be great, then you gotta create |
| [01:11.79] |
A musical |
| [01:13.56] |
I don't know, I find it hard to believe people would actually pay to see something like this |
| [01:17.95] |
Let's just say it's a Saturday night |
| [01:19.52] |
And you wanna go out on the town |
| [01:21.24] |
Got a lady to flatter who might |
| [01:23.23] |
Give it up if you don't let her down |
| [01:25.04] |
You could go see a tragedy |
| [01:26.88] |
But that wouldn't be very fun |
| [01:28.67] |
Or a play from Greek mythology |
| [01:30.50] |
See a mother have sex with her son |
| [01:32.75] |
You could go see a drama |
| [01:35.33] |
With all of that trauma and pain |
| [01:39.82] |
Or go see something more relaxing |
| [01:43.96] |
And less taxing on the brain |
| [01:49.06] |
Go... see... a... musical |
| [01:54.75] |
A musical |
| [01:56.77] |
A poppy piece releasing all your |
| [01:58.90] |
Blues-icals |
| [02:00.38] |
Where crooners croon (Ahh) |
| [02:02.49] |
A catchy tune |
| [02:04.28] |
And limber-legged ladies thrill you |
| [02:06.43] |
Till you swoon |
| [02:07.84] |
Ooh's, ahh's, big applause |
| [02:09.93] |
And a standing ovation |
| [02:11.84] |
The future is bright if you could just write |
| [02:13.66] |
A musical |
| [02:15.36] |
Some make you happy |
| [02:17.40] |
Some make you sad |
| [02:19.16] |
Some are quite big |
| [02:20.73] |
Some quite small |
| [02:22.54] |
Some are too long |
| [02:24.58] |
Some are just plays with song (Ahh) |
| [02:26.58] |
Some musicals have |
| [02:28.10] |
No talking at all |
| [02:31.53] |
(No talking at all?) |
| [02:32.93] |
That's right, there's no talking |
| [02:37.26] |
All of the dialog is sung in a very dramatic fashion |
| [02:44.07] |
(Um, really?) |
| [02:45.67] |
Yes, really |
| [02:47.73] |
(There's no talk—) |
| [02:48.65] |
There's no talking |
| [02:51.21] |
And they often stay on one note for a very long time |
| [02:54.96] |
So that when they change to a different note,...you notice |
| [03:01.11] |
And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect |
| [03:03.63] |
But mostly you just sit there asking yourself, "why aren't they talking?" |
| [03:10.97] |
(Sounds miserable) |
| [03:12.74] |
I believe it's pronounced "misérables" |
| [03:19.90] |
(And people actually like this?) |
| [03:21.43] |
No! They love it! And what's not to love? |
| [03:24.13] |
It's such a delight, there's nothing quite like |
| [03:26.28] |
A musical |
| [03:28.04] |
Ooh! Another vision! I haven't even told you the best part yet! |
| [03:32.63] |
Feel that fascinating rhythm |
| [03:35.85] |
Move into your feet |
| [03:37.30] |
(Uh, what is that?) |
| [03:40.35] |
Feel your ass gyrating |
| [03:42.52] |
To that titillating beat |
| [03:44.76] |
(Ooh, are you OK?) |
| [03:47.87] |
You slap your lap |
| [03:49.29] |
Then finger-snap |
| [03:51.34] |
That's when you know it's time to tap |
| [03:56.46] |
(What the hell are you doing now?) |
| [03:58.51] |
It's called a dance break |
| [03:59.85] |
Apparently this happens in musicals as well |
| [04:02.37] |
People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance |
| [04:06.11] |
(Why? Does it advance the plot?) |
| [04:07.88] |
No |
| [04:08.65] |
(Advance character?) |
| [04:09.83] |
Not necessarily |
| [04:10.93] |
(Then why do it?) |
| [04:12.23] |
Because it's entertaining |
| [04:14.89] |
5-6-7-8! |
| [04:17.24] |
Dance Break |
| [04:49.47] |
Another vision! |
| [04:51.81] |
It's a musical What do you talk? What do you talk? |
| [04:53.46] |
It's a musical! A Seussical? |
| [04:55.30] |
No, a musical with girls on stage |
| [04:57.16] |
(A musical) |
| [04:58.76] |
We've got snappy repartee |
| [05:00.06] |
And the women are risqué |
| [05:02.24] |
And the chorus boys are kinda gay |
| [05:04.54] |
(A musical) |
| [05:06.09] |
A true, blue, new |
| [05:09.10] |
Musical |
| [05:17.21] |
Stand back! It's a musical! |
| [05:20.86] |
Some musicals are very serious |
| [05:27.16] |
A big, glittering (musical, a musical) |
| [05:33.24] |
(It's a mu-si-cal for us) |
| [05:39.00] |
A big and shiny, mighty fine-y |
| [05:44.36] |
Glitter, glitz, and chorus line-y |
| [05:46.12] |
Bob your head and shake your heiney |
| [05:47.86] |
Musical! |
| [05:49.38] |
It's a musical |
| [05:51.33] |
(It's a musical) |
| [05:53.00] |
It is a musical |
| [05:54.94] |
(It's a musical) |
| [05:56.75] |
Yes! I get it now! |
| [05:59.91] |
We'll... do... a... musical (No kidding!) |
| [06:06.07] |
A musical |
| [06:09.28] |
What could be more amazing than |
| [06:12.23] |
A musical? |
| [06:14.61] |
With song and dance |
| [06:18.27] |
And sweet romance |
| [06:20.92] |
And with a musical we might have |
| [06:23.36] |
Half a chance |
| [06:25.23] |
{Ooh's, ahh's, big applause} |
| [06:26.95] |
{With everyone cheering for us} |
| [06:33.00] |
And for some unexplainable reason |
| [06:37.19] |
The crowd goes wild every time |
| [06:41.24] |
When dancers kick in unison |
| [06:45.37] |
In one big wonderful line |
| [06:50.11] |
And then you got yourself a musical |
| [06:55.62] |
A musical |
| [07:00.19] |
A la-la-la-la-la-la-la |
| [07:03.15] |
Palooz-ical |
| [07:04.94] |
With flashy style |
| [07:07.02] |
And a big, fake smile |
| [07:09.18] |
A snazzy band, some jazzy hands |
| [07:11.54] |
I swear that I'll |
| [07:13.74] |
Cross my heart, hope to die |
| [07:15.59] |
If it isn't a doozy |
| [07:17.52] |
Take it from me |
| [07:20.55] |
They'll be flocking to see |
| [07:23.96] |
(Your star-lit) |
| [07:25.64] |
(Won't quit) |
| [07:26.61] |
(Big hit) |
| [07:27.65] |
(Musical) |
| [07:40.01] |
A big hit musical |
