MUSICALS!!!!! I love
MUSICALS!!!!! I love musicals; they're my absolute FAVORITE kind of movie!! I want to hear about musicals I've never heard about!!! What's your favorite? I couldn't possibly tell you mine, cause I have NOOOO idea, but I'll tell you, I love old musicals, but also ones like Mamma Mia, and Hairspray, and Enchanted. I'm not thrilled with the High School Musicals, but must admit the third was better than I thought it would be.

There's nothing bad in Wicked at all. I saw it and I'm only 12!
I love all the music and dancing in Singin' in the Rain....it's so genius! Oh gosh..... musicals....great stuff...except ONE. Cinderella. We're doing it as a school show, and it is SO LAME! The stepmother and sisters are merely irritating, not evil or wicked at all! And when they try on the slipper, they don't do the whole cut-of-part-of-the-foot thing! (That's in the Grimm brothers' version.) And Cinderella just has to make tea and sweep the house! It's not like she's a slave! Good old Grimm brothers. Rightly named, too!

Well, it's not that I'm afraid to see it, it's that, there's no place near me that has it playing. The closest big city is San Francisco, and there's no place that does broadway there as far as I know. I would gladly go else where, but I can't, because we don't have enough money to travel.
I, personally, don't like the cut-of-part-of-the-foot thing, so if I were you, I'd be very glad!! :) I'm wondering, how would you do that in a school production? Behind a sheet with a light making your silhouette show??? :D :D :D Hmm...
Ok, but I do agree on every thing else in your play. What's the point of a bossy step-mom??? BORING!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :D

Yeah, Laura, I don't know how they would do that... but I'm really excited to see how they're gonna do all the magic stuff. Our director just says "I'm a special effects guy. You're going to see stage coaches appear on stage where nothing was 2 seconds beforehand!"
Has anybody heard of or done The Mystery of Edwin Drood? I might be doing it this summer, and it sounds really cool. It's based on an unfinished novel by Dickens, and at least two major parts of the story are decided on by the audience. (At one point, to make an ending ((because Dickens never wrote one)) two characters have to fall in love, and that is decided by how much the audience claps for certain characters when the narrator tells them to.) Doesn't that sound neat? I had never heard of it before, so I wanted to know if anybody else had.
OOH, I also love Once Upon a Mattress. I'm going to see it today!

Well, tho' I have never seen it, I have a personal feud with Hello Dolly, because at our theater, we get one play with kids in it a year, around Xmas, and this year we get Hello Dolly, with no kids instead. Urgh. OK, so musicals. Wicked is quite good. So is Singing in the Rain. I love those old movies, and that one in particular is great. And "Make 'Em Laugh" is a good scene. Sound of Music. I was in it, as Brigitta, the bookish girl, (typecasting, TOTALLY). I was also in Annie, which I now find silly, Fiddler on the Roof, which I still find brilliant, and A Christmas Carol, which is wonderful.

I love musicals, too. I participate in a theatre group, and this is my fourth year. The play is Seussical. I want to be the mayor's only son Jojo. Last season we did The Wizard of Oz. The year before that was Crazy for You. No one has ever heard of it, though. I was in The Sound of Music. I was the second-to-youngest Von Trapp child, Marta. I can't wait until Wednesday, because I will find out what part I got in Seussical.
I want to act in movies when i grow up. I also like singing. Do you?
(January 11, 2009 - 4:29 pm)
SEUSSICAL! I TOTALLY love Seussical and used to be obsessed with it and even auditioned for a play with the song alone in the universe and am so excited that someone else in the world knows about this show! And, for a while, JoJo was my dream part. We went and saw the play, which was too far away for me to be in it, and I was barely keeping myself from singing along!
I love singing. Do you like solos or harmonies better?
And finally, my little sister was Marta. Though she REALLY hated the line "... and I'd like a pink parasol." But we love being onstage together! So anyway, Gillian, tell me if you get the part!

Oh, yeah! I like Seussical, too! It was a really good show.

You're right, I haven't heard of Crazy For You... wait... now that I think about it, maybe I have... it sounds vaguely familiar. I've always wanted to act, theatre/theater (?) or films, but neither seem to work for me. Not that I'm bad at acting (actually, I might be, I don't know), but every time I've tried, something has made me not do it. It's so aggravating!!!!! Yes, I sing. People say I'm good, but I don't know if they mean it, or are just being nice. :) I take lessons every Monday with three of my friends. I have THE BEST teacher in the WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!! If you ever move to Sonoma County, tell me, and I'll give you her name!!!!! :D Good luck on your Seussical!!!!!! :) :) :)

1776 is another musical that not many people have heard about. It was made into a movie around the '70s. You should rent it, it is so good! It's about John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.

One of my friends has many good stories of being in 1776!
(January 16, 2009 - 8:22 pm)
My cousins tell me all about 1776, but I've never watched it. When I was younger, the only movies my mom would get us were musicals. My 6 siblings and I (well, I only had about 4 or 5 sibs back then) have watched about every single musical with Howard Keel. He was our FAVORITE actor. He died just a couple years ago. My favorite musicals are Calamity Jane, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Annie Get Your Gun, and this other one, I forget what it's called. (I might be thinking of Calamity Jane.)

Oh, I really like that musical!:):):)

Oh, and I like The Unsinkable Molly Brown. She (meaning Molly Brown) really was a real person who survived the Titanic.
