It depends because some tend to be rather annoying the way the actors or actresses start singing. I really loved the greatest showman.

I never really liked musicals. Even High School Musical was annoying to me. But some time ago I listened to the Hamilton soundtrack and I loved it. Now I would really love to see an actual musical in a theatre.

I love them , from the sound of music to high school musicals to the greatest showman, (although I didn't enjoy the story line the music was great.

I love musical films like “Evita” and “The Greatest Showman” – both have amazing songs and storylines. It’s insatiable to watch these two musicals, so I watched them both countless of times already.

I have several musicals that I really enjoy but I don't always seek them out, if that makes sense? Often there's not a way to watch stage musicals without resorting to a bootleg, and I don't want to pirate another artist's work. So sometimes I just listen to soundtracks on Spotify and just pretend that's enough, haha.

I recommend you to watch The Greatest Showman , a good musical movie which I enjoyed recently. Besides you can learn a bit of history since it is based on a true historical entertainer, P T Barnum

I love musicals! My favorite one currently is Dear Evan Hansen. The songs, the cast, the raw emotion was enough to make me listen to the soundtrack a million times when it came out.

I love musicals! Grew up on movies like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and I've seen small, medium, and large productions of many musicals! Music + Acting = Magic!
