Four Fab Shows Heading to Macy's This Year!

Okay, so I don't know about any of you but the main reason I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is for the four numbers from new musicals on Broadway. They get more people to go see these shows, and this year I am pleased to announce that the four musicals being shown are Million Dollar Quartet, American Idiot, Memphis, and Elf. Alright so maybe the last one isn't a show I'm really thrilled about, but the other three are definitely going to be entertaining. I especially cannot wait for the number from Memphis because ever since the Tony awards from last year, this show has appealed to me. I mean, I really hope that this fabulous musical goes on national tour VERY soon, because when it does, I will be there for sure. I greatly encourage all my readers to tune in this Thursday to NBC at 9 AM.

Spider-Man on Broadway?

Yes, it's official. Spider-Man is heading to Broadway on January 11 of 2011. Now usually I get really excited about new musicals debuting on Broadway. But for this one, I'm still not sure what to make out of it. I mean, I think the last thing Broadway needs is a comic strip brought to life in musical form. Um, no thank you. Though, my opinion might actually change if it goes on national tour. Good news for 80's fanatics: Bono and The Edge from the band U2 wrote music and lyrics (I know that my mom is VERY thrilled)! I'm very curious to find out what the choreography is going to be like because it doesn't seem like it would be very complex, if there is any at all. And, no. I am NOT joking about this show being on Broadway!

Shrek-taculous

This past Thursday I went to Buell Theatre in Denver to see Shrek the Musical. Alright so it was definitely not better than Wicked (well, duh, nothing is) but I have to add it to my top twenty list of faves. The lyrics were clever, the choreography was basic but good, and I loved all the characters! There has never been a show where I was surrounded by 10 year olds (and it will probably never happen again). If you see this, prepare yourself for multiple Broadway musical references (trust me, it happens a LOT). I highly recommend that all my readers living in Colorado see this show, or if it's coming to your town, get your tickets NOW!!!!!!!!

Dancing Queen...hey I just might join 'em!

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I'm back! Anywho, just this past Tuesday I had the chance (FINALLY!!!!) to see Mamma Mia! at Buell Theatre. Okay, so it was no Wicked, but I have to say that I really enjoyed it overall. The music was very entertaining and familiar (despite the fact that I did not live through the 70's), the choreography was unexpected, and the talent...well, let's just say that there are better voices out there. Each and every one of the guys playing Sophie's three potential fathers made me laugh at some point in the show, they were awesome. Overall, I enjoyed this production. BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW IF YOU LIVE IN COLORADO because the show will be gone in a few days!
