The State of the Musical

So, NBC’s Perry Simon has come to the realization there is not much appetite for large-scale production numbers (“TV’s Blackboard Bungle,” Oct. 27). What a genius!

People, in general, don’t like to see someone pop out of the bushes and bust into a song or start dancing; people just don’t do that, it’s stupid.

Talk about TV-speak: “ . . . find ways to integrate music in a more organic fashion.” Huh? Who is Perry Simon and how did he get this job? I cannot conceive that he thought for even one minute that “Hull High” had a chance.
