What the hell are musicals?[00:00:00]

It appears to be a play where the dialog stops and the plot is conveyed through song[00:00:01]

Through song?[00:00:07]

Yes[00:00:08]

Wait, wait, wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then out of nowhere he just starts singing?[00:00:09]

Yes[00:00:15]

Well that is the—[00:00:16]

Stupidest thing that I have ever heard[00:00:18]

You're doing a play, got something to say[00:00:21]

So you sing it? It's absurd[00:00:24]

Who on Earth is going to sit there[00:00:26]

While an actor breaks into song?[00:00:29]

What possible thought could the audience think[00:00:33]

Other than "this is horribly wrong?"[00:00:37]

Remarkably, they won't think that[00:00:42]

(Seriously? Why not?)[00:00:45]

Because—[00:00:47]

It's... a... musical[00:00:48]

A musical[00:00:52]

And nothing's as amazing as a[00:00:54]

Musical[00:00:56]

With song and dance[00:00:58]

And sweet romance[00:01:00]

And happy endings happening[00:01:02]

By happenstance[00:01:04]

Bright lights, stage fights[00:01:06]

And a dazzling chorus[00:01:08]

You wanna be great, then you gotta create[00:01:09]

A musical[00:01:11]

I don't know, I find it hard to believe people would actually pay to see something like this[00:01:13]

Let's just say it's a Saturday night[00:01:17]

And you wanna go out on the town[00:01:19]

Got a lady to flatter who might[00:01:21]

Give it up if you don't let her down[00:01:23]

You could go see a tragedy[00:01:25]

But that wouldn't be very fun[00:01:26]

Or a play from Greek mythology[00:01:28]

See a mother have sex with her son[00:01:30]

You could go see a drama[00:01:32]

With all of that trauma and pain[00:01:35]

Or go see something more relaxing[00:01:39]

And less taxing on the brain[00:01:43]

Go... see... a... musical[00:01:49]

A musical[00:01:54]

A poppy piece releasing all your[00:01:56]

Blues-icals[00:01:58]

Where crooners croon (Ahh)[00:02:00]

A catchy tune[00:02:02]

And limber-legged ladies thrill you[00:02:04]

Till you swoon[00:02:06]

Ooh's, ahh's, big applause[00:02:07]

And a standing ovation[00:02:09]

The future is bright if you could just write[00:02:11]

A musical[00:02:13]

Some make you happy[00:02:15]

Some make you sad[00:02:17]

Some are quite big[00:02:19]

Some quite small[00:02:20]

Some are too long[00:02:22]

Some are just plays with song (Ahh)[00:02:24]

Some musicals have[00:02:26]

No talking at all[00:02:28]

(No talking at all?)[00:02:31]

That's right, there's no talking[00:02:32]

All of the dialog is sung in a very dramatic fashion[00:02:37]

(Um, really?)[00:02:44]

Yes, really[00:02:45]

(There's no talk—)[00:02:47]

There's no talking[00:02:48]

And they often stay on one note for a very long time[00:02:51]

So that when they change to a different note,...you notice[00:02:54]

And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect[00:03:01]

But mostly you just sit there asking yourself, "why aren't they talking?"[00:03:03]

(Sounds miserable)[00:03:10]

I believe it's pronounced "misérables"[00:03:12]

(And people actually like this?)[00:03:19]

No! They love it! And what's not to love?[00:03:21]

It's such a delight, there's nothing quite like[00:03:24]

A musical[00:03:26]

Ooh! Another vision! I haven't even told you the best part yet![00:03:28]

Feel that fascinating rhythm[00:03:32]

Move into your feet[00:03:35]

(Uh, what is that?)[00:03:37]

Feel your a** gyrating[00:03:40]

To that titillating beat[00:03:42]

(Ooh, are you OK?)[00:03:44]

You slap your lap[00:03:47]

Then finger-snap[00:03:49]

That's when you know it's time to tap[00:03:51]

(What the hell are you doing now?)[00:03:56]

It's called a dance break[00:03:58]

Apparently this happens in musicals as well[00:03:59]

People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance[00:04:02]

(Why? Does it advance the plot?)[00:04:06]

No[00:04:07]

(Advance character?)[00:04:08]

Not necessarily[00:04:09]

(Then why do it?)[00:04:10]

Because it's entertaining[00:04:12]

5-6-7-8![00:04:14]

Dance Break[00:04:17]

Another vision![00:04:49]

It's a musical What do you talk? What do you talk?[00:04:51]

It's a musical! A Seussical?[00:04:53]

No, a musical with girls on stage[00:04:55]

(A musical)[00:04:57]

We've got snappy repartee[00:04:58]

And the women are risqué[00:05:00]

And the chorus boys are kinda gay[00:05:02]

(A musical)[00:05:04]

A true, blue, new[00:05:06]

Musical[00:05:09]

Stand back! It's a musical![00:05:17]

Some musicals are very serious[00:05:20]

A big, glittering (musical, a musical)[00:05:27]

(It's a mu-si-cal for us)[00:05:33]

A big and shiny, mighty fine-y[00:05:39]

Glitter, glitz, and chorus line-y[00:05:44]

Bob your head and shake your heiney[00:05:46]

Musical![00:05:47]

It's a musical[00:05:49]

(It's a musical)[00:05:51]

It is a musical[00:05:53]

(It's a musical)[00:05:54]

Yes! I get it now![00:05:56]

We'll... do... a... musical (No kidding!)[00:05:59]

A musical[00:06:06]

What could be more amazing than[00:06:09]

A musical?[00:06:12]

With song and dance[00:06:14]

And sweet romance[00:06:18]

And with a musical we might have[00:06:20]

Half a chance[00:06:23]

{Ooh's, ahh's, big applause}[00:06:25]

{With everyone cheering for us}[00:06:26]

And for some unexplainable reason[00:06:33]

The crowd goes wild every time[00:06:37]

When dancers kick in unison[00:06:41]

In one big wonderful line[00:06:45]

And then you got yourself a musical[00:06:50]

A musical[00:06:55]

A la-la-la-la-la-la-la[00:07:00]

Palooz-ical[00:07:03]

With flashy style[00:07:04]

And a big, fake smile[00:07:07]

A snazzy band, some jazzy hands[00:07:09]

I swear that I'll[00:07:11]

Cross my heart, hope to die[00:07:13]

If it isn't a doozy[00:07:15]

Take it from me[00:07:17]

They'll be flocking to see[00:07:20]

(Your star-lit)[00:07:23]

(Won't quit)[00:07:25]

(Big hit)[00:07:26]

(Musical)[00:07:27]

A big hit musical[00:07:40]
