After finishing up The Taffetas I've got the Musical Bug, so I've decided to start a new tradition for a while. Wednesday night will from here, until further notice, be Musical night. I have "Singing in the Rain" on its way via netflix. I actually have a goal in mind. I'm looking for a musical that my theatre group can put on in the next couple of years. If you have any suggestions, something you'd like to see, something you've always loved please comment. If anyone is every bored on Wednesday night and likes musicals they are more than welcome to come over to join me.
My favortie musical of all time is probably Oklahoma. Being from the state definitely doesn't hurt. I was exposed to this play/movie from a pretty early age. But I also just love Rodges and Hammerstein. They write so beautifully together. I am also a really big fan of Meet Me in St. Louis. It's become a habit of mine to watch it before Christmas every year. I like the idea of falling in love with a guy while riding a tram, just seeing him. Not particulary realistic, but awfully fun. When I was a little girl, any time I was at home sick or stuck inside because it was nasty out I watched two movies, over and over again. The first was Parent Trap, a disney movie (and of course I am talking about Haley Mills, not the copycat with Lindsey Lohan) and Annie. I wanted to be Annie when I was a kid. I thought she was just the greatest thing every. Of course now that I'm older, I'm probably closer to Mrs. Hannigan.
