Escapism, that's what it is. Musical Theater allows us to leave the planet for 2 or 3 hours and then return, having been enlightened by this unique art form. It challenges us and helps us face the "real" world. We leave armed with new, and life changing, knowledge about ourselves and the world we live in.
Only the brave sit in theater seats regularly. The stage, and it's inhabitants, will challenge you with it's stories, talent and beauty. That's why we'll pay more than $100 a seat, because we know we will leave different than when we came. It's a form of education and therapy all wrapped up into one. Yet we never speak, we simply get to respond by clapping or, in the most holiest of moments, by allowing that perfect silence after hearing someone offer a song that has truly touched something deep within us.
Let's share this adventure, Tell me I'm a helpless romantic and have my head in the clouds, it's true you know. That's why I liked Shakespeare in Love.
