#1re: What Makes Ya Feel Good?
Posted: 8/2/05 at 9:55amRent or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. La Vie Boheme and Great Big Stuff make me laugh no matter what.
1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. 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

Wicked, in that it's about overcoming obstacles and allows me to address my problems head on.
Hairspray b/c it's high cheery music.
DRS makes me laugh and such catchy tunes.
LSOH also cheery and tongue in cheek, but makes one think.
and WSS b/c I worship Leonard Bernstein and all I think of when I listen to it is how amazing the music is.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

Posted: 8/2/05 at 11:37amSeussical and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I don't know why, but Dirty Rotten Scoundrels seems to make me even more upset.

Spamalot, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Avenue Q (For Now is a lifesaver!), Rent-if Im angry .
ooh! Dont Rain on My Parade is the ULTIMATE picker-upper. and I forgot Seussical - out of context, "How Lucky You Are" puts a lot of things in perspective.
Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on."
- from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Posted: 8/2/05 at 4:18pmWhen I'm upset/sad/stressed/angry and want to feel better, I mainly listen to Avenue Q.
"I mean, how many of us could honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building?"

RENT

Sometimes though, RENT is good for a good cry and then I'm over it.
and if we get specific, since Bare is sooo not a happy musical, 'Birthday,Bitch!' is really funny.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 4:44pmAm I the only one who gets a kick out of spelling bee, it always amuses and cheers me up, especially pandemonium...
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

While I adore the BARE music, I must say that it makes me feel depressed, not good!
That said, I adore the first song from tick . . . tick . . . BOOM!. I can listen to it while running. That and Find Your Grail.
"I am the sound of distant thunder, the color of flame."
