[00:00.05] 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

[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 lalalalalalala
[07:03.15] Paloozical
[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 starlit
[07:25.64] Won' t quit
[07:26.61] Big hit
[07:27.65] Musical
[07:40.01] A big hit musical
