/not really sure if this is in the right place

Surely I can't be the only person here who likes musicals.
I've been into musicals since a very young age. My Mother started showing me silly little things like Cats and Guys and Dolls when I was rather young, and it kind of took off from there. Initially near-everything I liked was by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and although I still adore most of his work today - Cats and Phantom Of The Opera still hold a special place in my heart - I started exploring silly, cheesy things like Little Shop of Horrors and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, both of which I adore. In my early teen years, I branched out to more underground, "edgy" (see also: somewhat terrible) musicals, some of which I still like. For a long time my favourite musical has been Cabaret, I've seen a few film adaptions of it, but the the 1972 one made by Bob Fosse is my absolute favourite, Liza Minnelli in that film is my idol. I want to go see more live musicals.

So, do any of you guys have an interest in the performing arts? ;)

I like musicals (and too had been wondering exactly where to talk about that). I saw Hapsburg no Houken on television most recently. I quite liked that.

Hapsburg no Houken is the only Takarazuka Revue show I have seen so far, actually. I do recommend it though. It's about a Jewish man who hides his heritage and becomes involved with the Hapsburgs, falling in love with Maria Theresa.

Ah, that sounds interesting. I'll definitely look into it, if I can find a version online which has English subtitles. Thank you for informing me.

I largely enjoy musical films. I'm probably not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, but I think they're typically pretty fun.

Haven't seen many stage productions of musicals though. Mostly just films and one or two High-school/college level productions.

Well, I'm not too extensively into them. Have only really seen so many. When I see them I usually enjoy it though. Guess you could say I have a sort of casual interest.
