The movie adaptations of stage musicals that I've seen, without exception, in my opinion don't work. A lot of people would disagree with me.
Stephen Sondheim

The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it's not reality, but who cares? There's too much reality these days.
Shirley Jones

The only stuff I don't like are Broadway musicals. I hate them. I don't even like to talk about it. I can't bear musicals.
Laurie Anderson

There are wonderful museums with lots of photographs of 1920's musicals.
Julie Harris

There is already huge public interest in stage musicals.
Tim Rice

We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat.
Anthony Head

Well, the musicals give emphasis to love, longing, melancholy, sadness. All of that is always there.
Ismail Merchant

When you're doing the traditional musicals, singing songs that are 40 and 50 years old, you realize there's a reason why those musicals are hits. These are amazing songs!
