I love the idea of taking dialogue and notes and music from page to face and expression, from a somewhat lifeless form to plastering words and characters to a human body. I mean, I love movies after all, and scripts are a form of drama, wholeheartedly a sprout from the seed that is literature. Despite my perhaps apathetic and unappreciative attitude towards drama, I don’t hate it. I love Hugh Jackman, but watching that movie was like riding Disney Magic Kingdom’s It’s A Small World for two hours straight - it makes no sense and is an insult to Broadway talent.) For myself, I watch a musical and go “oh, that was fun but also kinda weird” and then I go on with the rest of my life.Īnd though I may not prefer musicals and plays and all, drama is still a significant genre within literature, a genre emphasized over the last centuries, as Shakespeare is not only a household name, but a must in school curriculum (unfortunately so for us students, sorry Shakespeare). (I think I may have offended half my friends, but let me jus’ go a lil further and say I cannot, cannot ever bring myself to give a damn about The Greatest Showman. I’m not too well-versed in Broadway productions, as sitting through a musical for me is not exactly the worst thing in the world, yet I certainly don’t share the same enthusiasm as “theater kids” when it comes down to belting out “Defying Gravity” every two seconds.
