I'll be 19 next month and I start my sophomore year of college in OH MY GOD 2 weeks from today!
I actually have to agree with Jon on the first semester at college. It's just a lot to take in and by the time my winter break came my friends from home and I were all planning to transfer schools so we could be together. Whoever's starting college this year though...hang in I swear it will get better. I had a blast second semester and I can't wait to move in...not start classes, but I'm really excited to move in. Ugh someone remind me why I'm a bio major!!

My mommy always said to not tell people on the internet how old I am. But I'll tell you that I sure hope things get better from where I am. I might as well shoot myself now if they don't.

Sorry for the teenage drama. But I have had a crappy time of it lately.

>>How many board members 18 and younger enjoy musicals wrtten before 1990?
How many have seen a musical written before 1990?
How many have even the slightest interest in seeing or learning more about a musical written before 1990?
well that's insulting. why do you think that the majority of today's youth only likes things that have been introduced in their lifetime? i'm 18, and i don't see why i should have to list the 200+ cast albums i have from pre-1990. on RECORD *and* CD and 8-track. wow. and you thought we were all at home watching fear factor.

I am 16 but enjoy a lot of older shows. I will admit I'm not a huge fan of older musicals such as The Kind and I or Brigadoon. However I am a huge fan of shows from the 70's such as Pippin, Sweeny Todd and ACL.

My bf has come to the conclusion that if I marry you, we can't go out anymore,so......I can't marry you. Sorry.
But I still love you.

he's probably right- even though i was looking forward to writting a show about our marriage and subsequent divorce. however, i have decided that i still love you to, and i will just have to find a way to move on.

Well first of all, I am not exactly sure where you are trying to go with the "Why do you think the majority of today's youth only likes things that have been introduced in their lifetime?"
Second of all, if you do have cast recordings on records, 8 tracks and cds more power to you. I was actually trying to include the older posters in that thread. I didn't want them to limit themselves just to their cds. To just limit them to cds when a lot of their lives were lived before the advent of cds would be exclusionary in my opinion. There are so many threads about what people listen to now. I wanted the thread to be slightly different. (And I didn't exclude anyone. I said I wanted to hear mainly [not exclusively] from older posters to see what albums/cast recordings have stood the test of time.)
Third of all, Fear Factor is one of the few reality shows I actually enjoy.
Fourth of all, I wrote those questions with the intent of being disproven. I even said I was feeling a little jaded. My point is we have had a lot of posters who have seemingly no knowledge of musicals before Rent. The Wickedites (different from people who actually make valid points about Wicked) seem to think that Wicked is the best musical ever when they haven't even seen any other musicals. You said "why do you think that the majority of today's youth only likes things that have been introduced in their lifetime?" Well I'd like to counter that question with a quote.

18, high school senior. Once again the only person I know with a love of Broadway. While my friends had a hard time accepting my dependency on show tunes at first, they have since come to find the trait quite endearing.... 
To answer the previously questioned question, I have to say I grew up listening to Annie, Grease, West Side Story, which I still enjoy. Scratch Grease please, I can't take that crap anymore. Rent really re-introduced me to theater, so if it wasn't for my stint where everything was Rent, I wouldn't have found all of the other amzing stuff out there. My other favorites include Les Miserables, A Chorus Line, Avenue Q, Last 5 Years, HAIR!, Nine, Wicked, Chicago, Tick Tick Boom... I could keep going but I shall stop. I must admit to having a liking for the modern musicals over the more classic ones.
I hate My Fair Lady and the King and I. Please, no one shoot me.

Okay, there's something I must say. I have never seen Rent, and I've never wanted to. When it first started, the advertising would say it's a show for people who don't like normal Broadway musicals or something along those lines, and that always turned me off. But I will see it someday, I just don't want to see it with Scary Spice.
Judy, that post was very true. I miss how I used to dress when I was younger. And I could kill my stupid neighbor. I can't stand the guy as it is, he always shoots disgusted looks at my dogs, and then he says things like "it's your turn to have kids now." I don't know this guy, don't like him, but when people start asking you when you're having kids, it's not only rude, it's just depressing.
