演員正說著臺詞，突然就開始唱歌了？

You're doing a play, got something to say, so you sing it?

Seriously?

Because it's a musical, a musical, and nothing's as amazing as a musical, where crooners croon a catchy tune, and limber-leggy ladies thrill you till you swoon.

因為這是一部音樂劇，一部音樂劇，沒有什麼比音樂劇更令人驚歎的了，在音樂劇中，男高音歌唱家哼唱著朗朗上口的曲調，腿部靈活的女士們讓你興奮不已，直到你沉醉其中。

And they often stay on one note for a very long time, so that when they change to a different note, you notice.
