musicals.

musicals might be the most wonderful thing. growing up i would watch the sound of music, the play version of peter pan, and singing in the rain as often as my family would let me. i was mesmerized by camelot and my love for richard harris began. i liked south pacific, the music man, and especially my grandfather singing along with fiddler on the roof. when i was at byu, the best show i saw was a musical: thoroughly modern millie. i also saw seven brides for seven brothers, and newies for the first time while at byu. then there are disney movies which are basically musicals (chitty chitty bang bang, mary poppins, all the classic cartoons) and i've seen broadway's touring the lion king twiceand the phantom of the opera. it is cheesy but completely true: i love musicals!
recently, i was introduced to another musical into the woods and at the end of may i'm going to see wicked :] at the imb performing arts center (aka the opera house). miss steen and i are so so excited!!
