Passion West Side Story The Light in the Piazza Into the Woods Company Sunday in the Park with George Ragtime Cabaret The King and I
The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I remember days Or at least I try But as years go by They're sort of haze And the bluest ink Isn't really sky And at times I think I would gladly die For a day of sky ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "You could get away with anything if you call it art and tell people who don't like it that it's cutting edge culture." --vmlinnie ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Assassins. I remember getting home after buying the revival recording, putting it on, and hardly believing it. It was like falling in love! I listened to it over and over.

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
"But I relish every brillant inspired moment. This is who I'm determined to be- an actor/singer/dancer-no, I take that back, this is who I am. These people are my tribe, my destiny. I know it.

Oh, and of course SWEENEY TODD and FOLLIES. And for the same reasons--
FOLLLIES starts with a thin tenor solo over a lone, tinkling piano, then suddenly flowers into an enormous parade-like orchestration over warm, gorgeous harmonies.
SWEENEY starts with a rumble--a reedy, monotonous little clarinet vamp. The first two male soloists grumble out their lyrics, as if at gunpoint. Then--a sudden flare-up into the "Dies Irae" chorus, with harmony ringing out like the "Anvil Chorus."
I guess there must be something about vocal/orchestral explosions that gets to me...
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
