First of all, this isn't a shallow grab for man points. I've owned an MX-5 for almost twelve years so I am demonstrably able to confront my inner masculinity. 
However, I've just had to leave the room while the wife watches Les Miserables on Blu-Ray. I would like to think I'm open minded and I'll give anything a go but I lasted 25 minutes of Les Miserables which was at least 18 minutes longer than I wanted to.
I think I just have to accept that I don't "get" musicals. And I hate accepting that I don't "get" something.
The problem is I can't stop my brain constantly screaming a simple question: why the bloody hell are they singing?
How can you relate to this absurd scenario? It doesn't happen in life. Could you make a film in which, during each dramatic moment everyone starts juggling? That seems no less bizarre a concept to me.
Should I just accept that musicals are not for me? Is it possible to be won over?
