I'm still rather obsessed with Titanic (I totally cry buckets every time I listen to "We'll Meet Tomorrow," and now I kind of want someone to make a vid of all the tragic Jossverse deaths set to that song. I blame stormwreath's post).

Anyway, I thought, instead of featuring a new musical like I usually do, I'd do a themed post today. I actually came up with ( Read more... )

My parents are leaving today on a cruise to Bermuda, so this week's musical selection is sort of timely and yet also kinda morbid, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to run into any icebergs near Bermuda, so it's not like I've jinxed them or anything. (Besides, their cruise ship hit a coral reef the last time they went to Bermuda, so what are ( Read more... )

So, I seem to have managed to post every day for 35 days straight, which is something I don't think I've done since the very start of this journal, when I was busy transferring my completed fic to LJ. I'd say it's thanks to the 30 Day meme, but I actually managed to make two or three posts on most days, so it's not just that. Anyway, let's see how ( Read more... )

Well, this one doesn't really need an introduction, since Joel Grey does it for me. :) I still haven't seen Wicked, but I'm sure I will eventually. I'm just sorry I missed seeing it with Kristin Chenowith and Idina Menzel, because they are both amazing. I give you "Defying Gravity":

Heh, I think today's pick is definitely indicative of my dismal mood. Hey, at least I didn't go with Les Miserables.

Ragtime, based on the novel by E. L. Doctorow, is a musical about the intersection of the lives of three families at the turn of the 20th century: an unnamed upper-class white family living in New Rochelle, NY, chafing against the ( Read more... )

One of my classes this summer is on health care policy, and I hope it answers this question: "Why are insurance companies so dumb?"

( Cut for whiny personal post )

Okay, I don't know how this happened. Well, actually, I do. I have a friend with the Broadway channel on satellite radio, and she keeps discovering these new musicals, and then getting me hooked on them. This is one that I've never seen, but the soundtrack is pretty awesome. And I'm a little shocked that it's so addictive, because it's about pre- ( Read more... )

Raise your hands, how many of you watched Sesame Street as a kid? Wasn't it awesome? Crazy muppets living in harmony with human beings, coming together to teach us about life and the alphabet.

Now, how many of you wish there were a Sesame Street for grown-ups? A show to teach us how to cope with the realities of life after college, dating, working ( Read more... )

Move over, NPH. Zachary Levi is my new TV boyfriend. HE SINGS, people. (I wish he sang with less annoying people than Katharine McPhee, but I'll live.)

"I always hate it when people watch a musical and they go, 'Oh, it's so unrealistic. No one just breaks into song in the middle of their day.' Yeah, they do. They do, if they're me."

ME TOO, ZAC ( Read more... )
