And Star Trek is not the place for a musical.
Though I will say Nurse Chapel's number was pretty good.

You absolutely should not judge Les Miserables by that stupid movie, which was basically celebrity karaoke. Even the good performers (definitely NOT YOU, Russell Crowe) can't hold a candle to the professional singers who perform in the stage productions. Seeing it live on stage is a completely different animal.
I really enjoy certain types of musicals - particularly sweeping, historical epic stuff like Les Misberables, Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon. I definitely do not like silly shit, and the musical Star Trek episode definitely falls into the silly shit category.
