The thea-TAH proceeds backwards apace. Looking at this picture of
Barbie Live! I cannot help thinking of my favorite musical,
The Black Crook.
The Black Crook had women in tights dancing before an elaborately painted flat; so does
Barbie Live! The Black Crook had non-music; so does
Barbie Live! One other similarity: the theater of the nineteenth century had no real musicals.
Then again, the theater of the nineteenth century didn't have MARKETING.
