| Did you or the poster you replied to bother reading my reply to this question before you posted? And if you did, why is the concept of loving a musical independent of any production of it so difficult to understand? |

| FWIW, I don't find it difficult to understand. I love The King and I, Carousel and Oklahoma! despite feeling that I've been disappointed every time I've seen them onstage. But I don't blame the shows. I know they're very good. Not perfect but at least very, very good. It helps that the film versions of the first two are good, even though I don't like many film versions of musicals, and I no longer love the film of The King and I as I did at one time. But it's good enough, better than most film versions of Broadway musicals. | |

| Thank you AlanScott, WIW is a lot. I was beginning to wonder whether people were being deliberately obtuse or if the concept was just too foreign. I'm reminded of Shaw himself, who regarded Don Giovanni as the greatest of all operas, but despaired of ever being able to witness a production in his lifetime that did Mozart justice. | |
