Into the Woods
It never appealed to me until a friend made me sit down and watch the filmed production. What happened was nothing short of love.

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.

Posted: 11/12/05 at 5:08pmActually, I had no interest in seeing Les Mis. I thought it would be really boring, but it's my favorite show now.

Posted: 11/12/05 at 5:14pmI actually had no interest in my two favorite musicals, Les Miz and The Last 5 Years. But, I started to listen to the music (and watched the Les Miz concert video), and was mesmerized.

The Boy From Oz
I went because of Hugh Jackman, but not because of the rave reviews. I went because he gave a good friend of mine an autograph BEFORE the show. It's a strange reason, but it's why.

Assassins!!
The only reason I picked up the CD in the first place was because I had just done a project on Stephen Sondheim for my English class and thought Anyone Can Whistle sounded interesting. However my Barnes and Noble didn't have the Anyone Can Whistle OCR, but I was in the A section and happened to see Assassins, and thought, 'Oh, that's a Sondheim too, isn't it?...' I listened to it a bit on the headphones and bought it on a whim (I'd just gotten paid, haha... money burning a hole in my pocket.) It's been my life ever since.

Posted: 11/12/05 at 6:35pmLennon. I had no desire to see it, simply because of what I'd heard. I wanted to see a show one Wednesday afternoon, and couldn't get tickets for Fiddler, so I tried Lennon instead. I ended up loving it and seeing it two more times.
