On Broadway


Who came up with the idea of musicals? What compel them to have this notion that at every corner, whether things are going swell or not, you can simply break out a song and people around you would join in? How did they envision that everyone would be singing the same tune and dancing to the same tempo? What world were they from? I would love to talk them, even if it is in a dream, because I have tried to do these things in my life - and it doesn’t work. Try whistling a tune, and people would stare daggers at you. Try humming a song while strolling with a bounce in your steps, and pedestrians will cross the streets to avoid you. Sing close to a child, and it is most likely the parents will fend you away with a stick object of sorts. Indeed, the only other person who came close is called Michael Jackson, and you all know how well liked he is. Where did they find all those balconies, and the front porch swings where guys can swoon the dolls with serenades of adoration and devotion?
