last year: yeah I’ve been into musicals for a while but I can’t really say I’m a hardcore fan only because I don’t know much beyond a couple specific shows and I haven’t gotten to see much at all for a while

this year: an entire world of resources has been opened up to me I’ve watched 3 shows 7 times each and have been chewing on this workshop recording with rabid intensity for months

#talking abt musicals #the thing is I actually usually don’t get into musicals by soundtracks #I actually do have to see or know something about the show first #during high school I got mom hooked and we were able to see a pro show or two every year or two #plus I was in this… program? where I got to see free high school productions by volunteering to write reviews #and then some… people would choose which reviews fo publish at the school newspaper or maybe even local papers #I never ended up getting picked so it didn’t really matter #I don’t think any of my reviews were what anybody wanted I didnt know shit about writing like a theater critic #also I have no memory of how I got into this #so other than the pro shows I was also just seeing a lot in general I guess #for… one year? one semester?#and doing stage crew and doing ensemble when I was a senior (bc obviously seniors pass auditions right)#man I was doing chorus and color guard and set building and musical rehearsals that year #and I’m pretty sure some county chorus also #did I really do all that?#wack #no wait yeah I remember I think it was wednesdays mom had to drive me to the local college for chorus rehearsals so that wasnt the hs chorus #anyway it’s because of the review program thing I actually got to see more than I would’ve #but I only remember… wait no it was way more than 3 #it was thoroughly modern millie and chicago and sideshow and once on this island and peter pan #OH AND LITTLE WOMEN #wow I completely forgot about all of that #I remember because sutton foster’s the lead for millie and little women and I was really into sutton foster because of the one song I knew #from drowsy chaperone #WAIT ALSO LES MIS #I remember the high school bridge scene #and then in borders I’d go to the music section and look up cds and listen to them #I don’t think it was as common to upload osts on yt?#and I’m pretty sure we ended up seeing shrek on bway specifically because I wanted to see sutton foster #and then she DISAPPEARED INTO TV
