Question: Something I always wondered about musicals (aside:why does Yahoo put a question mark where I don't need one!?)!?

Do the people in musicals know that they sing!?
Are there any musicals where they satirize this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Generally, no, the people don't acknowledge that they've been singing!. The song comes when the emotions become so large they must be expressed!.

As noted above, Spamalot has one self-referential song!. Two smaller musicals, Gutenberg – the Musical (in London) and title of show (in New York), are both very self-referential!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only one I can think of that's even close is the My Musical episode of scrubs, where an aneurysm leads a woman to think everyone who is talking to her is singing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Spamalot!? "The song that goes like this" satirizes it a lot!. very funny!. look it up on youtube with sara ramirez!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
