    Uh… So this is merely sussing out who’d yet to reach high school before Hamilton came out? 😶

      Most people watch lots of musicals in childhood. Nearly all of Disney animated films are musicals. The Wizard of Oz, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Muppets movies, Marry Poppins. Childhood musicals are cultural staples.

        So, when’s the last time you “listened” to a Disney movie?

        Also, “Marry” is a verb.

      Also showing that the idea that tumblr is only used by kids – by children – is ridiculous twaddle and bunkum

      Or that teenagers had taste and lsitened to something other than Hamilton.

        Heh. “Twaddle and bunkum”. Sounds like orphanage lights-out orders.

          Or a legal firm from one of Dickens’ stories.

            Ha! I’m gonna have to use that in a D&D setting: two gnomish attorneys wading knee-deep in dubious arcano-tech patent licensing find themselves up to their necks in underworld antics and hire the gang to do hero-type stuff on their behalf.

            Only for the team to land in a super dicey scene of their own — after discovering the gnomes’ ulterior motives.

        Teenagers aren’t supposed to have taste. Teacher, leave those kids alone.

    I think rent is the only musical I’ve seen in full (I was follow spotting as a favour to a friend).

      That just seems weird to me. Not seeing Rent, but only seeing one.

      I think before I was 16 I had seen ten musicals live on stage. Now (thirty years later) I’ve seen another twenty or thirty I think?

        Musicals just aren’t really my cup of tea haha. Watched plenty of theatre and listened to plenty of music, but don’t really “get” the combination like others do.

          Fair enough.

          I can do plays, I just prefer musicals for some reason. But music has always been a huge part of my life, ever since I was young.
