“John in particularly hated musicals. He liked ‘West Side Story’, we liked ‘West Side Story’ a lot because that was like innovative, it grabbed us and it’s really good. But, things like, John and I one afternoon went to see ‘South Pacific’ and we actually walked out ’cause he just couldn’t stand it. I mean I would have sat and just watched it ’cause I had paid my money and I would watch anything. But he’d go, ‘Oh, bloody hell,’ you know, because what happens is, they start—you know the girl in it, Mitzi Gaynor, I think it was—going, ‘I wonder if he’s looking at me. Can he really see me?’ And we’d go, ‘Oh no!’ And he starts like, ‘Oh, I think she’s looking at me, I don’t know.’ And we’re going, ‘Oh, stop it!’”

—Paul McCartney, from here
