I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
Sunday in the Park With George (London Revival)- Just as a side note, I bought it a while ago, listened to it and put it away. I discovered it again maybe 2 weeks ago and haven't stopped listening to it. It is really that amazing. The Light in the Piazza Caroline or Change Sweeney Todd 2006 Revival The Drowsy Chaperone Ragtime Dessa Rose Mary Poppins Gypsy 2003 Revival Avenue Q Assassins
Jersey Boys, A Chorus Line (revival), The Light in the Piazza, The Last 5 Years, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Wicked, The Wedding Singer, Aida, and The Color Purple.
I could only think of 13. . . I was tempted to add Jersey Boys, but I've barely listened to it since I got it, so I felt like that would be cheating. :)
Wicked DRS Wedding Singer I Love You Because (I got this three days ago and have listened to nothing else since) L5Y Thoroughly Modern Millie Rent (Movie Soundtrack. Yes, I know, it's technically not a cast recording but I'm counting it anyway, just casue it was fantastic) Hedwig (movie. see above :) ) Light in the Piazza Avenue Q Drowsy Chaperone Little Women Spamalot
The ones that immediately come to mind for me are:

Love when I get to list my favorites and my not so greats but here we go in order the way I listen to them - top 10
1. The Wedding Singer - I listen to this one at least a couple times a day; specifically "saturday night in the city" "all about the green" and "let me come home"
2. Bright Lights, Big City - One of the best recordings I own - look at the performers in it Wilson, Sherie, Bolger, Ebersole
3. Footloose - I just love this one; I love the combination of movie songs/original songs it it.
4. The Great American Trailor Park - Okay this one is a guilty pleasure.
5. The Last 5 Years - one of the best written; best performed; best everything. It seems everything these two do together are on my list.
6. See What I Wanna See 7. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 8. Reefer Madness - LA Recording 9. The Wild Party - Lippa 10. Rent
I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity**
Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer**
