1. You are aware that musicals don't have to be comedies, right?

And the author of that blog is a snarky shithead.

2. There are so many examples of that.

West Side Story is a musical tragedy, in Carousel the main character Billy is dead, Chicago is about a murder trial.

4. True, A couple of seasons ago, saw a show called "A Catered Affair". Basically

a serious story, based on a teleplay by Paddy Chayefsky.

7. Very dark story

And Fosse's direction was brilliant. I actually heard people gasp when the camera pulled back at the conclusion of "Tomorrow Belongs to Us".
