Feature musicals ...The difference is in the timing. Feature musicals have been making their way back for the last few years, and then the tweens all went loopy for High School Musical. Add to that the popularity of musical episodes of shows, like the Buffy Musical phenomena... it was just a matter of time, I think.<br /><br />When The Heights and Cop Rock came out, I don't remember any resurgence of the musical genre in mainstream culture. A few years ago Hugh Jackman attempted a Las Vegas style semi-musical tv show with Viva Laughlin, but a) that wasn't advertised as a musical so it didn't reach the right audience, b)my assumptions are it wasn't really tween friendly, and c) if it was anything like the show it was based off of, Blackpool, it's an awkward show to begin with.<br /><br />Also, shows based around High School are popular regardless. They have a high success rate, I think.<br /><br />And I think it's pretty awesome Terri is such an awful woman. I'm getting tired of her baby story though, it needs to progress. Maybe now that the Quinn/Finn/Puck story line moved, so will Terri's.Alekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280819182061537182noreply@blogger.com
