I absolutely hate musicals and yet . . . I watched this entire show, although I fast forwarded through several of the songs. The story was intriguing to me. There was just the right balance between reality and magic to keep you asking what is going on and keep you interested. The music is actually pretty good but when I watch shows, I'm there to escape reality and people singing during their dialogue is really distracting.
That said, the story in "Sound of Magic" hit home to me because I have always believed that a big part of being happy in life is finding the magic in every day events and in that regard, this show was perfect for me. I even liked the ending although a bit more resolution would have calmed my "wonder what happened" brain cramps. I also liked that fact that it was only 6 semi-short episodes so the commitment wasn't so great. If I were the director, I would have cast it a little differently but those actors did a good enough job to get a nine out of me.
