(Don't know if that's really your thing...but it's one of the two best musicals ever in my opinion. :-) )

Date: 2011-02-01 06:21 am (UTC)Seven Brides is delightful stuff with the singing and the dance! But I don't believe there will EVER be a re-make of it-- it's too politically incorrect.
I wonder if there's any "Seven Brides" fanfic out there?

Date: 2011-02-01 06:28 am (UTC)I actually like WSS better than Romeo and Juliet, and think it's sadder, but less depressing. Romeo and Juliet is about two adolescents who get carried away by their passion and do stupid things. While WSS is just as whirlwind, there is a lot more going on I think--you've got Maria's desire to be a real American and Tony's desire to leave the gangs behind and become a responsible individual...it's like there's more at stake. When he dies, something real has been lost, I think. If Romeo and Juliet hadn't died, bad stuff would've happened anyway. Romeo would forget Juliet like he had forgotten Rosalind a day earlier. I think stories about complete emptiness are depressing, but WSS is about loss, which is sad.
Does that distinction even make sense?

Date: 2011-02-01 06:31 am (UTC)I like comic opera-- I get a kick out of Gilbert and Sullivan! But actual operas, I like some of the music-- especially some soprano arias (thanks to my music major roommate in college, who expanded my taste) but I really can't get into listening (or watching) serious opera all the way through.
Pop music, some I like, some I don't-- but I don't care much for the current crop of pop singers, especially a lot of the girl singers who all seem to sound just alike and are overproduced as well. Not to mention that they all stand pigeon toed to sing nowadays! I don't know what's up with that.
The DH is really into country music-- or was. He doesn't think most of the new singers sound country enough. I like a good many country songs. My favorite ones are those with really upbeat tunes and angsty lyrics, LOL!

Date: 2011-02-01 06:37 am (UTC)I don't like overproduced music, and there is so much of it. But I think there are some really good female singers out there...though come to think of it, the strongest singers I can think of off the top of my head are Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Nettles--so country. :-) I prefer male singers (in any genre) though, and I think there are a lot of good male singers out there in pop and country.

Date: 2011-02-01 06:52 am (UTC)Most music today seems to be overproduced. I remember a few weeks ago watching a documentary on 60s music (which was "my" music-- that is, the music of my teens) and I couldn't help but notice how "raw" and real it sounded compared to most of today's music.
I generally listen to more female singers-- but not necessarily because I prefer them over male-- I enjoy male singers just as much. But it seems that a lot of the songs I like tend to be covered by females more. Actually, my true preference in vocal music is when it's sung by more than one person. I love duos, trios, quartets and choirs! I think one of my favorite things in ANY musical genre is a capella harmony! I just love it when our choir at church does that!
