Haiku Friday: Musical Theater!
Ok, that whole "Cats" thing totally creeps me out. Seriously. I can't even watch beyond the first three seconds.
Still, can we haiku about musical theater. Sure, I've never gone there (for obvious reasons-- I don't know anything about it) but... there are those who love it.
I'll go first:
