Ahhhh, I still love musicals

"Writing should be easy....like a monkey driving a ski-boat...."

This has to be my new favorite line from a musical [Title of Show]--rather funny musical crapping on the writing process of writing a musical. Had to download it for fun.


Totally unrelated musical--but related topic-- I drove through the rain (thanks ernesto) with a co-worker and one of her patients up to Baltimore Friday night to see "Mama Mia". I highly recommend this musical! My stomach muscles hurt from laughing so hard. Mary had already seen it in Vegas but came to see it again-- said this one was vastly better than the one she saw a few years ago. Better cast. Who knew the songs of ABBA presented in musical form would capture my heart??? While I loved the entire musical, there's only 3 songs I absolutely fell in love with and the singer on the track for "I had a dream" did not do the song as much justice as the young lady singing it in Baltimore. I did download "The loser takes it all" and "Mama Mia" from Itunes.

Awsome set design and fluid scene changes astounded me between songs, and the chorus line of kicking scuba guys made me snort bad merlot (first musical I've ever been to that allows wine in the audience area). By the finale we were on our feet dancing with the music-- most of the audience was on their feet dancing except for a few irritated senior citizens. Sorry seniors-- the music moved me (literally) and you could use the butt boogie too btw.

I love musicals. I heard a quote once that said "musical theater is when someone gets stabbed and instead of dying he sings". *sigh* I love them. I wish everyone would break out in song randomly as they go through life. Wouldn't that be amusing???
