MODERATORS
That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren't expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren't going to attend since they aren't being advertised to
Unexpected genre also killed Brutal Legend. The commercials advertised it as an action-adventure game, but it's actually an RTS. Action-adventure fans hated it, and RTS fans had no idea it was an RTS until it showed up on Steam four years later.
I hate musicals, thanks for the heads up
I don't like old style musicals, but things like I Brother Where Art Thou are great.
That explains why all the scenes in the trailer were of people singing and dancing. Welp I dont care for most musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.
