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.

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!
