Kivy and Hanslick 2

I am an actor, and I've done my fair share of musicals. The issue with musicals is that the songs really only convey one emotion at a time. It really limits the story telling of a musical as huge chunks of the show become simplified. People are not simply, yet although musicals do their best, they can never truly create the ever changing minds of mankind. It hinders the progression of an advanced story. I feel that is better done through the power of regular words. However, in those cases that one single emotion is prevalent, a song may be better to put someone else into that state through music and relation to themselves and the song. Both provide an important way to experience someone's expressions. Plays with story, musicals with music.
