CurtainPullDowner,

I lived on my own for two years...I WAS a naked boy singing.

re: If you could live in a musical

In reality, I would actually not want to live during the WWII era in any country. However, I was considering the world of the musical as a world unto itself. Therefore, the Nazis and the Anschluss(sp?) enter the picture only peripherally until the very end of the story where everyone escapes unscathed and without too much hardship. Let's not think too hard about a question that isn't actually possible...

Before you elect Sound of Music, read Maria von Trapp's autobiography. She was not Julie Andrews.

I'd love to live in DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, but only if I wasn't getting conned. Otherwise THE WEDDING SINGER, just 'cuz I'm ready to party like its 1985.

Ha! I love this thread!
Gosh...probably Millie, the 20's have always looked like so much fun...plus, I could tap everywhere I went without people looking at me like I'm a freak...which I am, but that's another story....

And Pimpernel might be exciting and romantic, unless of course I was a French aristocrat awaiting my execution by guillotine...that doesn't sound too appealing..

Yeah, the real Maria von Trapp had premarital sex, for one thing.

Um, I think mine is pretty obvious.

But I suppose West Side Story would be fun, too... what with those choreographed dance-fights and all.

I also choose Phantom because I love that whole 1800s Paris.

I would love to be Belle in Beauty and The Beast! If I could live in any other musical it would definitely be The Wedding Singer, I love that show!

I would take a vacation in Lestat to see if the skies suddenly get all orange and weird and if you hear the sound of dying whales when you get bitten by some dude named Magnus.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

RAGTIME

it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the time period...but if we're living in a musical, don't we get to sing the songs from the show all day long??

"And there was distant music..."

OH and Audra and Brian would have to live there with me :)
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order." The Nanny Diaries

Thoroughly Modern Millie (tap dancing in elevators is my idea of fun!) and I think Anything Goes would be quite fun. Plus we could sing Cole Porter tunes all the time.
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

I wouldn't mind living in Kiss me Kate. You're performing, having backstage shenanigans, dancing behind the theater- fun fun fun.

Sweeney Todd. No, just kidding.

But I've always wanted to be in a situation like A Chrous Line. And regardless of what you think of the musical, who wouldn't want to live in Wicked?

One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...


It was awesome.

re: If you could live in a musical

I love this thread! You invaded my day dreams! lol I can't pick just one, so I'll name a few

Wicked cause it's like a fantasy, almost like a farytale tragedy! But it would just be so intrancing! =D Plus, I know the words to every song, so I would probably fit in pretty well

Hairspray because I've always wanted to live in the 60s! It would just be an absolute BLAST! it would be like a carefree life.

Same with Drowsy. It's just a "do whatever and nobody cares how stupid you look" kinda life =)

Oh and Jersey Boys, just so I could listen to JLY 24, 7!
