So you've never had to struggle with suspension of disbelief during a non-musical?
I struggle with it a lot, which is why I also don't typically like Science Fiction and Fantasy movies. But the awkwardness of the song and dance numbers just makes my struggle that much more difficult. Besides Hedwig, the only live action musicals I've seen as an adult and liked were Chicago (in which the musical numbers happen only in the protagonist's imagination) and My Fair Lady. MFL was kind of a fluke and I've only seen it once. I intend to rewatch it for the 60s list so it remains to be seen if I still like it or if I just happened to be in the right mood for it the first time. I also liked Les Miserables, but that's an opera and perhaps the lack of actual dialogue made it easier for me to palate.
