What Laws Apply In The Land Of Musicals?
So I was watching Les Miseranimals a while back, and I was like "This is the best animated retelling of classic theater featuring anthropomorphic talking animals that I've ever seen!" Then I looked into the actual play, and I thought it was pretty neat.
Recently, TBS was showing Rent, where in one of the first songs they throw flaming garbage into the streets from the upper floors of a condemned apartment building. I was thinking "Man, that's a fire hazard!"
Sweeny Todd sings about brutally murdering people. That's against the law.
West Side story had gang fights.
Guys and Dolls had illegal gambling.
I guess when you're in a musical, the laws don't apply to you as long as you're singing. Is that about right?
