My father would have turned 85 last week and boy, did he love this time of year. Perhaps it was the proximity to his birthday and with it, a fresh start to a new year, but when the end of August would roll around he would just start to burst with positive energy. On Sundays from late August through...

Not only is it one of my favorite songs from South Pacific, but I actually experienced one this past Wednesday! The weather was great albeit a tad warm as we settled on the lawn at Wolftrap to enjoy not only the music of the Young Dubliners and Jethro Tull but the overload of crackers, cheese,...
A short music post! What I'm listening to right now: Jason Robert Brown's two-person musical telling the story of a relationship between Cathy and Jamie--told backwards from the end from her perspective and forwards from the beginning from his. Very cool, but ah, very depressing... as evidenced by...
The Olivers have a crack at High School Musical and The olivers sing Who Will buy with the nancys
The Dottir is due to come over to London at the end of the month, and I was looking for something for a theatre night out when I came across a production of 'They're Playing Our Song' at Menier Chocolate Factory. I hope she gives this musical the green light as I have great memories of working on a...

Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan "Patrick" Fillion, and Felicia "Patrick" Day, this superhero comedy meets vlog meets Buffy The Musical will only be available...
I am not much into musicals... out of all of the movies and music I am a nutjob over you would think I loved musicals.... well I can tell you that I like a couple. This may be in that list... Oh and...
What movies do you have memorized? Bonus points for sharing your favorite quote. Submitted by Andymatic. The Sound of Music. Obviously there are others - Star Wars, The Princess Bride - but I've seen the sound of music so often I can speak the script right along with the actors - same inflection and...
Felipe love Loretta . . . Felipe loves Loretta . . Feeeelipe loves Loretta . . . It's true . . Because before Anika Noni Rose there was yooouuu in the original Broadway cast of Dreamgirls as Lorrell Robinson. Of course, I wasn't old enough to make up to New York to see that her perform. However I...
This post sort of has to do with "Wall-E" again...but more on the musical side. I LOVED the music in this film. Partly because some of the music was from "Hello, Dolly!" I've never actually seen HD, but I adore the music and used to play it on the piano all the time. I've been listening to the...
So I've been in a movie watch mood of late the past couple of months I've actually managed to make it through a backlog of movies I've been wanting to see for a while. Some of them were better than I expected, some of them were about level with my expectations and a fair few were a heap worse than I...
"Those you've pained may carry that still with them All the same, they whisper: "All forgiven" Still your heart says, the shadows bring the starlight And everything you've ever been is still there in the dark night..." Those You've Known - Spring Awakening Some time ago, a good friend passed me the...
I laughed soooo hard that my gut started to hurt a little. Live puppet sex is the best. "The Internet is for Porn!" Hahahha :D
What's your favorite play and why? Well I don't really have a favourite play at the moment, although I definitely prefer musicals. I did go and see two musicals (which I thoroughly enjoyed) on the weekend. Zenophran and I went to Sydney to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney....
Sean mourns the passing of a legend... Her name was Tula Ellice Finklea when she was born in Amarillo, Texas, on March 8, 1922. From her earliest years she was called Sid, because her older brother couldn't say "sister." She was a sickly girl who started dancing lessons to build up her strength...
The incomparable Cyd Charisse is gone. If you're not a fan of musicals, you probably don't know who she was, but as a dancer she was unsurpassed in her slinky, sexy, graceful, playful, classic style. If you're not a fan of musicals, Cyd Charisse could make you one. At one point or another most of my...
Missy Mae and I are spending the afternoon together, while the boys go out to see Stomp. It's J's first time to the theatre. Had tickets been a little less, I would have gone with, but I'm glad things worked out the way they did. Missy and I have spent the afternoon watching musicals (Dreamgirls &...
Catching-up continues in the land of the Gothic Lolita... I had the pleasure of taking a trip to NYC to catch the final two performances of original cast members Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff in Spring Awakening, and the equally pleasurable chance to catch the second annual Broadway Battle of the...
