i think it has a lot to do with the music of that particular time period. the movie was great...i totally enjoyed it but for me it was the music...and the dancing that they choreographed for the music. i know with the musical, it's a bit different format. for instance, there are the dancers who dance the numbers and then the singers who are just singing. so the two characters are seperated. there are two live entities within the show. so the dancers aren're singing/speaking, is the way i understood it. not that this will make him want to take you. but i usually offer dinner or a "toy" (approach them either as little boys or sex fiends...that usually appeals to them).
