GREASE is the word!

Hey everyone! I haven't been posting a lot recently, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been so so so so busy! Anyway, last night I was watching Grease on ABC Family, and while I was watching I realized I haven't yet posted about this popular movie and "everybody's favorite sing-along!" We're doing it next year for our spring musical at school! Can't wait! Anyway, I'm not one to write reviews (I might start doing that though...) as you know. I just like to post pictures and give you a link to Wikipedia or something. So here's some pictures from... Grease!

To check out more on the show/movie, go to IMDb! All photo credits to Fan Pop.

Toodles!!!

"Anything Goes" Review

This is a review from The Broadway Critic Blog, written by Spencer Williams. I love Sutton Foster, so I decided to post this! But be sure you know I do not own this. I did not write this.

"Anything Goes, Roundabout Theatre Company’s newest revival, is absolutely de-lovely.

It’s delightful.

It’s delicious in every respect.

Not only is it one of the best revivals I have seen in recent years, it’s one of the best shows that I’ve seen on Broadway in a long time. While other Broadway shows are trying to push the envelope, Anything Goes ends up being good-ole fashioned musical theatre fun. It doesn’t need to be technically over-produced like Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark, or pushing the limits on subject matter like in Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s musical, The Book of Mormon because Anything Goes is a classic....

Now to talk about the formidable Sutton Foster. Let’s just say this: if she doesn’t win the Tony Award for this portrayal of Reno Sweeney, I’m going to be flabbergasted. She sings it better than I’ve ever heard before (her belting was sublime), dances it with ease and finds nuance in the script that no one ever knew was there. As Lord Oakleigh would say, “She is the dog’s pajamas.” She is one of the few actors on the Broadway stage that is a true triple threat. She is a becoming a true Broadway legend....."

Toodli-doo-da!!!

P.S. Again, I did NOT write any of this. This is all the work of Spencer Williams, from The Broadway Critic Blog.

it's a jolly holiday with mary! (Mary Poppins)

Yes! The first Broadway show I saw on my journey to NYC was Mary Poppins!

We pre-ordered the tickets, and honestly- I thought it would be good, but not like mind blowingly amazing or anything. I was wrong. It was mind blowingly amazing!

Mary Poppins was played by the understudy (Catherine Brunell) that night, and she was awesome! The kids, Jane and Michael Banks, were actually on stage the most out of anyone. And Rozi Baker and Ethan Haberfield did great with that! Of course, though, they switch off kid characters, so they had 3 different Janes and Michaels.

Here's some pictures from the show!

I reccomend this show to anyone! It's full of music, laughs, and it's a whole lot of fun!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidociously Toodles!

P.S. Pics were found on... Disnology, Broadway World, and Mary Poppins Broadway!

there's 2 kinds of hope!

The other night my two friends and I (we call ourselves the Sitter Sisters) baby-sat at a Christmas party. We were in the basement either watching over the million little kids, drawing with them, avoiding pillow fights, fixing the pinball machine, and making sure everyone grabbed a Santa napkin before they reached for the cookie platter.

Many times they were asked to run upstairs and sing. We stayed downstairs most of the time to clean up. One time, though, after they were called up, I was cleaning up a Hawaiian punch spill when I heard the most beautiful voice. It was operatic and confident. I raced upstairs to investigate.

A blonde-haired women was standing in front of many watchful eyes, singing a Christmas tune so wonderfully. Four little girls stood before her, dancing along. Someone beside me was talking about her, and I heard something like, "She was on Broadway, you know." I was too excited!

After her little performance, I went up to her and asked if she was on Broadway. Sure enough, she was! I told her of my dreams, and she gave me inspiration. "Other people in this room have, and you can too." "All you have to do is keep trying."

Her name is Hope Harris. I am so glad I met her. I'm inspired to never stop!

Never give up Hope! (Notice the pun there?)

Toodleydoo!

P.S. The link on her name is kind of misleading. Her songs on the site are very country-ish, but the voice I heard was soprano and bold. Oh well, still amazing! Oh and the pic was on Facebook.
