I was around 16-17 when I first watched ''Glee'' and already loved ''The Sound of Music'' and ''Chicago'' as movie musicals, but it was certainly the show that made me go even deeper in movies musicals and theater, and I have been a Lea Michele's stan ever since. I live in Brazil, never got the chance to see her live, I was on Broadway in March and saw ''Funny Girl'' with Beanie. Then, when people started saying that Lea was going to do this made me go in denial. Both because it seemed impossible that she could get that role now and it certainly would be impossible to me to come back so soon to see her again.
But life works in funny ways and almost one week ago, I stood in a somehow not that freezing line for almost 3 hours, I got my ticket and had the PLEASURE to witness what a definitive performance of a role really is.
Lea is both technically perfect when comes to vocals, but also a really great actress in both comedy and drama, her comedy bits are more child like/tomboy-ish and when she has to grow, it shows depths. The chemistry with Ramin is unmatched. She really elevated a production that it's good without her, but never great.
And I probably loved ''People'' more, but there's a sense of history making moment when ''Parade'' starts. It is just musical theater heaven.
For that moment, I have to say, life was pretty damn good.
And Lea Michele is a star, I mean... the greatest star!
