Monday, Monday... randomness
Lately I've been thinking about musicals and theater. First, a friend reminded me of all the fun I had in New York watching Wicked when she mentioned on her blog buying tickets for the show in Atlanta. Second, another friend reminded me of all the acting and singing I used to do in high school, which I sadly don't do anymore. I sing whenever I get the chance - but my voice isn't the same without the regular practice. And I'm not sure the last time I was on a stage...
That got me wondering what my favorite musicals are currently. Here is the list I came up with:
Top 7 favorite musicals:
1. Les Miserable - (fav songs: "Who Am I?" "On My Own")
2. Wicked - (fav songs: "What is this Feeling?", "Dancing through life," "Defying Gravity")
3. Fiddler on the Roof - (Fav songs: "Sunrise, Sunset" "Matchmaker")
4. Phantom of the Opera - (Fav songs: "Masquerade" "Point of No Return")
5. Rag Time - (I can't remember! I saw this one a LONG time ago, but know I loved all the piano)
6. Sound of Music - (fav songs: "Edelweiss" "My Favorite things" "Sixteen going on Seventeen")
7. My Fair Lady - (fav songs: "Wouldn't it be loverly," "I could have danced all night," "Just you Wait," and "On the street where you live,")
I sure would love to get more involved with music and theater. Now isn't necessarily the best time, with planning for a new baby and a move. For now I'll stick with singing along to the soundtracks while I clean.
PS - I'd love to hear what musicals everyone else enjoys. I'd like to see "Young Frankenstein" sometime (love the movie). And if I'm in Pouslbo this fall/winter, I'd like to see "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" in Seattle (love this movie, too).
