Musical wisdom from Michal Kunze

[yukinojou]

A lot of scriptwriters should follow this ♥

In my translation:

Seven deadly sins of writers of musicals:

1. The story is predictable
2. The audience feels no empathy with the protagonist
3. The protagonist learns nothing from the story and remains unchanged
4. The theme isn't explored/analysed
5. Songs tell the audience what they already know
6. All characters act and sing in the same way
7. Ten minutes in, you still don't know what's going on

Thanks for the link! I follow him semi-regularly, but it's good to be reminded to take a look, because he's got awesome stuff. *worships him*
