Have you ever been to a really awkward high school production of a musical?
Where anything and everything is so laughably bad. But you're not sure whether it's meant to be sort of tongue-in-cheek/satirical. So you wanna laugh, but you can't at the risk of them being completely seriously. Of course you don't want to laugh at them, they're putting their effort in, they're trying their hardest. They just suck. But the parents of the kids refuse to accept this. And they cheer them on and encourage them. Enable them. You may mention that someone hit a sour note, or messed up their choreography, and the demon rage comes out. You become the bad guy because you can't handle the combination of their awkwardness, their awfulness, and your own embarrassment.

But once the show is over, you think it's all well and good. They did their part, you managed to bear through it without insulting too many people. You think that's the end of it.

And then suddenly six months to a year down the track, they announce they're doing another musical. And because you're either related to someone in it, or forced to go because you're a part of the school, you end up there. The parents are all enthusiastic, reminiscing about how much fun the last one was, how good it was, how proud of their little soldiers they were; while you sit there struggling to hold down your lunch at the thought of it. You hope that it's not as laughably bad as last time because by now you know they're being sincere and just suck. You hope. You wish; for your sake and theirs, Then the production hits and it's just as bad as the last time. And you have to pretend it wasn't out of fear of being tarred and feathered by the fanboys aka parents.

That's what Crayon Pop performances feel like. For me, at least.

Here's a couple thrilling examples for those that are fans of Les Mis.
