"The Lovely Ladies Always Cheer Adolpho...."

"Wait, she's posting more than twice a month? Unspeakable!" Yes, I found the time to post again!

One show I want to talk about is one that my former high school is performing in January (and one I volunteered to help out with in costuming)― The Drowsy Chaperone.

 

 

The show made its début in 2006, telling the story of The Man in the Chair, an agoraphobic Broadway fan, as he listens to his favorite 1928 musical The Drowsy Chaperone. As the record continues, telling a story of a Broadway star and tycoon and the events on their wedding day, The Man in the Chair includes his personal footnotes and revels in the story that will aid his 'non-specific sadness'.

 

It's weird hearing of my younger friends being involved in it but I know the show will be great!

 

I don't know the soundtrack that well (yet) but I do know this song, "I Am Adolpho", for two reasons; a good friend of mine at the high school is Adolpho and a Musical Theatre senior that I know sang this song for his showcase. This song is flipping hilarious too and is a great audition song for a guy with a wide range. When I know the show better, I will post more about it!

 

 



"How, I Wonder, Does She Pee?"

So I've been in an unproductive mood today so I thought, 'Why shouldn't I post two posts today?' So I will!

 

 

 

Shrek The Musical landed on Broadway back in 2008 and lasted a little more than a year until it closed, maintaining the majority of its Seattle cast (one of the production's biggest roles, Donkey, changed actors in the transition to Broadway). The show (which follows the  plot of the 2001 film Shrek) tells the story of an ogre named Shrek as he embarks on a journey with a faithful Donkey to obtain his swamp back from the other fairy tale characters by rescuing Princess Fiona, who is the bride of Lord Farquaad (he also originally moved the other fairy tale creatures onto Shrek's swamp). The show discusses themes of self-acceptance and finding true love in the most unlikely of people.

 

"Shut Up Heather!"

Why do I have the tendency to post once a month―actually, around the same time every month? It's rather odd.

Anyway, Happy Black Friday! (Even though it started while it was still Thanksgiving but  who cares anymore, right? It's all about making money and  how early to start sales!

Anyway, recently I fell in love with a musical that opened on Off-Broadway in March 2014 and closed back in August. Well, at least I did with the music―the directing kinda sucked after watching it (I've only seen the first act but I thought it was okay).
