Do you love or hate musicals? There seems to be a clear defining line for many people here, they either love them or hate them. For those that don’t like musicals, they more than likely will not like films like the Sound Of Music where there is quite a bit of singing. Of course, there is a difference between a musical and a musical style film for sure.

But there is a group of people that just love musicals. The first musical ever performed happened around 1866; the title was The Black Crook. Nobody actually knows for sure when the first one was performed, but historians have pegged this one as the first.

Some of the more famous musicals are Show Boat, West Side Story, Hair, Les Miserables and more. These shows have been going on for quite some time and are by far the most popular shows on the stage.

Sometimes people who find themselves thinking they do not liking musicals end up loving them after they actually attend one. The assumption is that they will not but when they go they end up enjoying them. Which is it for you, do you love or hate musicals?
