The Showtune Thread, or Can You Hear the People Sing?

Spot on. I love rent (because I went to see it in NYC... I doubt I'd have the soft spot I do for it if I hadn't seen it live on broadway), and I love the music from Wicked.

Light in the Piazza was FANTASTIC. I saw it on TV ("live at the lincoln center") and I very much regretted not seeing it while in NY. The music was amazing, the acting was amazing, the sets were amazing, the plot was AMAZING... it was definitely the best musical I've seen, I think. There were just so many great moments (when the main girl gets lost at night it was chill inducing with the music and the whirling sets and everything), and when the italian mother begins translating the grief trio/quartet/thingamabob to the audience it was hilarious and awesome. Ah, to see this live...

As for being in, I was in Oliver. It was ok, being a chorister wasn't that exciting. It had it's moments but the music... oh my goodness ... I think I woke up to that like every day for months after the show...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
