Musicals

[AlmondMilk]

So, anyone like musicals? I'm planning on seeing "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," with a couple of friends... we plan on taking pictures with Daniel Radcliffe afterwards. If that doesn't happen, I will come back subsequent weekends for the opportunity o.o

Anywho, I was first introduced to musicals when my parents wanted to watch "The King and I." A couple of years later, my aunt got us tickets for "Cats." I've seen a couple of other musicals, and missed out on quite a few. So, um...yeah... anyone planning on seeing one this summer?

I'm going to see Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" at the Kennedy Center in a few weeks. Bernadette Peters and Elaine Paige are starring.

It's the first full staging of this musical since its original Broadway production forty years ago.

I wish I lived in a city with a more diverse musical theatre repertoire.

I can not say enough how obsessed I am with Spring Awakening, no other play has effected me so deeply.

I also recently saw Next to Normal, it was very good, really gut wrenching as well.

I've seen Wicked, Phantom of the Opera and Jersey Boys. Loved them all.

 

[AlmondMilk]

I have never seen a musical. Isn't that sad?

Nope, not sad. If given the chance, though, try it one time

I can not say enough how obsessed I am with Spring Awakening, no other play has effected me so deeply.

I love the music from Spring Awakening. I've never seen the show, but I was obsessed with their performances on the Tony's and whatnot.

Gotta add my love for Spring Awakening as well. I saw it once on Broadway, then again 3 times on tour!

My friend was rambling to me about that movie Burlesque the other day. There was one good song (on the entire soundtrack he insisted we listen to ).
