Marvelous Musicals

(Just thought it would only be appropriate to have Julie in the New Amsterdam theatre!)

Because of my recent involvement in the school musical, I have decided to compile a list of my favorite musicals. There are so many that I love! (In no specific order, because that would be too hard)

• The Lion King- It gives me the chills when Rafiki starts the Circle of Life; its just the best. In fact, I don't think I'll ever get sick of the Lion King. In fact, I want to go see it again. BAD.
  
• Hello, Dolly!- Dolly is a Sass, and Barnaby is AWESOME! You always need a little Babs.
  
• The Sound of Music- Consider anything with Julie Andrews on the list. This is such a CLASSIC, and has amazing music.
  
• Crazy for You- I love the collection of Gershwin songs.
  
• Singin' in the Rain- Gene Kelly is outstanding, and it is another one of those classics that just can't be left out.
  
• Thoroughly Modern Millie- The music in this is so clever and great to sing along to! Plus, I was in it last year and it was a blast. The hits "Forget about Your Shoes" and "What do I need with A's " were products of that show.
  
• Oklahoma- Mostly because Aunt Eller ROCKS!
  
• Wicked- Oh how I love this show. I want to see it again! I love the strong characters and the unforgettable music.
  
• Mary Poppins- Saw this on Broadway and loved all of the amazing effects and sets that this play had! It was awesome.
• Annie Get Your Gun- This is one of my all time favorites. In fact, before I die, I would like to be in it. The music is so catchy and fun to dance to. :)
• Hairspray- I've never actually seen the Broadway version, but I love the music.
• Bye, Bye Birdie- Just had to put it for 7th Grade's sake.
  
• Cinderella (R&H Version)- This brings back the memories of watching Lesley Ann Warren in what I liked to call "Make-up Cinderella" There are some classic songs in that one too.
• Aida- This show is another one that gives me the chills when I hear the music. It's so inspirational! It evokes every kind of emotion, and it has some sweet songs too.
  
• Guys and Dolls- Pretty much the same things I've said before. The music is awesome. It's another classic.

I know there are so many more but I'm having a brain cramp. All in all, Musicals are great! And who knows- maybe once Into the Woods is over I'll have a new one to add to the list!
