I think we'd have to do like a list of musicals what are not involved, as opposed to a list of musicals that are. Because the list of obscurer-musicals is many times longer than the list of...uh...not obscurer. So...Not Wicked, RENT, Phantom, Les Mis, Hairspray...what else? There's a bunch of musicals that I think would be borderline, in that they have a fanbase and get attention but it's not very much.
Sweeney Todd has one, and it'll only get bigger once the film version's out. But those are the only ones I could think of. I'm sure arguments can be made for others, but as long as we veer away from that set and promote things like DRS, LSoH, ItW, Chess, etc.
Juliet wants to be independent, Jeremy wants to not be a fuckup, and...Patrick, Karen, and Brian want to be able to continue screwing everything up, only with greater ease and fewer people hassling them about the consequences. Y/Y?
Exactly. The other three Darling kids have their issues that influence their decisions and whatnot, but they don't seem to want to do anything about it- they want Nick to fix it, just so they can do it again. Hell, Jeremy was the only one who seemed utterly repentant for dragging Nick away from his family to bail him out. (And how cute was that scene where he made Kiki that origami thing-a-mah-jig to apologize for making Nick late to pick her up? XD)
If Brian continues on that path of being an utter ten-year-old, I might be won over. XD
Oh God, I can only hope that never changes, because it's the only thing that keeps me from wanting to slap him. Much like Karen being so utterly frank all the time keeps me from wanting to slap her. (Because seriously? I'd hate her if her "telling it like it is" attitude didn't amuse me so much.)
