This is a post I started a couple weeks ago after watching a high school musical. I love musicals, and am always amused at spontaneous song and how far from reality they really are. I started thinking… what if life were like a musical?
– Feeling down? Let’s sing a song! We’ll pull it out of thin air and it’ll rhyme and everything!
– Everyone would sound so witty. With life scripted, we’d all come up with good comebacks and great jokes. No more, “I should have said THAT!” two hours later.
– Nothing wraps a day up better than a choreographed number. How much more fun would life be if we all just broke into spontaneous song and dance? Who knows how all of us know each step? Just jump on in!
– We’d all know how to sing and dance. No off key people in a musical world… sheer bliss. No two left feet. We’re all in rhythm.
– We’d have really fun clothes. And crazy makeup.
– We’d know what everyone else was thinking/feeling. With all the overacting, there’s no way to not know.
– Life would be easier. Everything has to be wrapped up in about 2 1/2 hours. No loose ends, closure where needed, and always a happy ending.
