How Popular is "The City That Never Sleeps"?



After my last post about Mary Poppins and how I mentioned that there are a quite a number of musicals that take place in London, I decide to do some research on how many musicals take place there. I admit there are a handful, but no where near as much as how many musicals and plays take place in New York City.  Here's the full list (I think there's at least thirty currently found) but I'll post below some of the more popular shows.
  • Guys and Dolls
  • West Side Story
  • How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
  • Hello, Dolly!
  • Hair
  • A Chorus Line 
  • Annie
  • Little Shop of Horrors
  • Rent
  • The Producers
  • Thoroughly Modern Millie
  • Avenue Q
  • Doubt
  • In the Heights
(I don't really know why this is my third post today, it's rather odd.)

Day Thirty: Newsies

Once again, I'm terribly sorry for my slacking on the posts, but midterms are always a pain in the butt!

Anyway, we're at our final day of the countdown! Woohoo! Today's post is my all time favorite musical, which is Newsies. I've always had an admiration for guys that can dance as well as they can!

I can't type a summary of the show, I have no time today. Lo siento! Here's the synopsis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsies_(musical) )

So, for today's post, the video is from the Tony Awards of 2012 (can't wait for the 2013 show!), where Newsies performed One and For All and Seize The Day, with a little prologue by Nick Jonas, and the main character, Jack, played by Jeremy Jordan!
