I suppose that's true. Maybe I just find every character dull and annoying.
Musicals have a lot of value, they can provide serious insight on philosophical quandaries and explore rich and innovative musical concepts in a very poignant way that you'll be hard pressed to find on albums or in a concert. I'm pretty sure you can see where I'm going with this so I'll just come out and ask: have you seen Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny?
