*puts hands on hollywood exec's shoulders, staring unblinking into their eyes* listen to me. you will never get people who hate musicals to like musicals by making your musical less of a musical. if you hide the fact that your film is a musical in the advertising, you're going to get a lot of low ratings from people who hate musicals and went into your movie not expecting a musical and got one anyway. people who hate musicals will hate them no matter how realistic and diegetic and lowkey you try to make it. they will hate musicals even if you completely excise anything complicated, over the top, silly, or even slightly challenging. they will hate musicals even if you cut half the songs. they will hate musicals even if you cast that a-lister who can't sing worth a damn. stop trying to market to people who hate musicals. they're a lost cause. your audience should be people who love musicals. this half-assed middle ground pisses off both camps. just embrace the fact that your movie is a musical. lean into it. don't try and trick musical haters into coming to your film when you could be marketing to the theater kids. better cringe than a coward.

Roxie Hart, esp movie Roxie, is a girl kisser
Think about it
All the musical numbers on the movie are her imagination trying to cope w the situation, right?
SHE'S the one putting these gorgeous women in sexy outfits
SHE'S the one who imagines a whole ass musical number about Queen Latifah being a sugar mama
That is NOT heterosexual behavior!!!

sing (2016) is such a deceptively good movie it's crazy. you watch it once and youre like "Haha yeah love the seth macfarlane rat." second time youre like "Oh i think the matthew mcconaghey koala and john c reilly sheep might be gay." watch it again and youre nearly moved to tears by reese witherspoon pig arc because it so accurately represents the quiet ache of motherhood. watch it again and youre like Yeah the koala and sheep are definitely gay. watch it again and feel overwhelmed by the humanity of it all... by strangers who grow to take care of each other no matter what, strangers who are no longer strangers, but who are also bound by nothing tangible that you can see.

Date idea: we watch Cats (2019) and I pause it every 2 seconds to tell you why it's bad and what they did wrong and why Cats is actually a really fun and cool show

Why don’t you listen to Secrets by One Republic (Tesla Coil version as featured in the 2010 movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) and maybe you’ll calm down/feel some weird aching whimsical nostalgia for a time that doesn’t feel like so long ago but already ludicrously spans over a decade.
