Spoken like a woman blissfully unaware of Newsies.
THAT is not musical theatre. That is dreck. despite some cuties in the cast.

Can we make a distinction between musical theatre and musical film? Because I'd like to.

Allyson, I misread your tag thusly:
None of us got where we re solely by pulling ourselves up by our boobstraps. We got here because somebody-a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns-bent down and helped us pick up our boobs.---(not quite) Thurgood Marshall

Sorry, sticky A---that should be: None of us got where we are.....

It makes me sad, because The Inside is so good, and OoG is so good, and why isn't there more room for this on television?
I don't think there isn't room for it on television, in general. I just think the current crop of shows on the air doesn't allow for that type of storytelling. There are a lot of series that use flashbacks as part of their basic premise (WaT, CC, VM, PB, etc.) but their use of flashbacks is very...um...I dunno, linear?
Allyson had an idea for a show that was incredibly non-linear. I thought, and still think, it's really cool.

I guess when I say "television" I mean "television right this very moment." I like non-linear. I could go on at length about non-linear storytelling and feminist drama and stuff, but instead I'll stick with "I like non-linear."

Oh, he didn't escape Swing Kids either. He was the eager little Hitler Youth who ratted out his friends to the Nazis in that, if memory serves.

Do tell. Or did I miss it?
eta: Sometimes I forget that telling us is telling the world, and since Allyson may not want to share her brilliant idea with the rest of the world so that they can change it slightly and then get filthy rich off of her creativity, I suppose my note was not so good. Still, curious.
