So instead, just grow up, get over yourselves and either get back to talking about theatre, or stop posting. Simple.
That was an overreaction. Though two whole posts about insulting Kefka was kind of excessive. And

was just unnecessary. I was kidding anyway; I like Kefka.

Anyway. I haven't played in the orchestra pit. probably never will. As much as I love playing piano, they aren't used too often, unless they're synthesizers. But I'm more interested in acting/signing/dancing. ^_^

I have to say, that must've been awesome. :D

Quote from: Sekter77 on December 09, 2010, 08:33:30 PMThough I'm not terribly interested in musicals or anything, I did act in a couple back in the high school drama club. I had to sing (and act and dance) for Footloose and Singin' in the Rain. But after Footloose, time and budgets constraints meant we could only do regular plays instead of musicals afterwards... It was a lot of fun actually and another timely event that pushed me to enjoying music as much as I do now.
I haven't even seen either of those...though we did Singing in the Rain for a compilation production last year. I wasn't in that number, but it was fantastic to watch. ^_^ That sucks about the budget constraints. :( IMO, musicals are insanely better than plays. I doubt I'll ever be able to sit through another play again. :P Unless it's an Oscar Wilde one, of course. ;P

Anyone seen Cats?

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

I'm sure that's a reference I'm embarrassingly not understanding...

Quote fail. :P

Nice. ^_^ Was it a grand or what? Even if we need a piano tone, we just use keyboards. (These are all high school productions.)

Yeah, the musicals were a lot of fun, but they were a lot of work. Everyone was really overscheduled in high school and it was difficult to scrounge up the resources to get everything put together. This was in a really small school too (190 kids from grades 7-12) so that didn't help. But I really don't have a preference between musicals or plays, they can both really be fantastic.

Oh, has anyone seen Spamalot? It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen and is just as good as the movie it's based on.
Guitar and video games.

Um, I think it was  Grand and a stand-up

I like that song.

Really? Nice. :D I'd probably be more more likely to join if we had things like that. :D

Spamalot was wonderful. Especially when you see your friend in "His Name Is Lancealot." Made that song all the funnier. XD I saw it sometime earlier this year, and loved it, I couldn't stop laughing. :D
