I am so glad that my director at school hates all pop and is really into classical theatre. I've heard rumors with us about South Pacific but I know that my teacher really wants to do Into the Woods. Love Sondheim. I am weeping for all of you out there that have to put up with that schlok. High School Musical should die. This one girl in the show I did this summer said it was her favorite musical ever and I told her that 1. it is not nor will it ever be able to be classed as a musical and 2. she should go to the doctor because I think she has something wrong with her hearing.

P.S. About the Wicked thing, when I was little my mom played the classic musicals and anything with Mary Martin and Ethel Merman all the time. I listened to those constantly but then as I got older it wasn't cool so I stopped with the musical thing (I was so stupid). Wicked brought me back. Not because of the pop (the first song I heard was "No One Mourns the Wicked") but beacuse of Kristin Chenoweth's range and the gorgeous quality of her voice. Now I am back to where I was and can even take down many of the local heads of theatre companies with my knowledge. So that is what I wanted to say. We are not all teeny-boppers without brains.

One of the local theatre's is doing it. I am trying out, not because I love the show, but I think it would be so fun to be Troy or Ryan.

While on the subject, what song do you think I should from the show for my audition?

I was thinking "What I've Been Looking For (reprise)".

What do you think?

The thing is the production at stage door was just bad and talk about a bad preformance the girl that played Ms. Darbus was just bad and needs to get over it Les Miz was just better all around!

Sorry I'm bringing up all these old boards, but I looked at one user's posts so now I feel these weird needs to reply.

I thought Jenny was very very good as Ms. Darbus.

However...Les Miz did beat the socks WAY off of HSM.
Especially the YC, Katherine.
