Musical Theatre Blog Challenge

Okay, so Scotty is doing this Blog Challenge that I'm in love with. So I'm hopping on the band wagon. But because I don't want to spend 30 days on it, I'm just going to my favorite ones all at once. It's my blog. I'll do what I want, k?


*If you only read one of these, let it me be this one.*
Sung by the character in a musical you can most relate to.

This song is by far my favorite song in the show and possibly my favorite musical theatre song ever. It just hits really close to home for me. I don't necessarily relate to Natalie a lot. But in this song she sings exactly what I've felt for years: "Am I crazy? I might end up crazy." Handling your own demons is one thing. But the fear of forcing the people you love to handle them with you is crippling.


Song from the first musical you ever saw/heard.

Peter Pan was the first musical I ever saw. Life changing. I'll never forget sitting in the audience as a small child and watching the giant windows open slowly and Peter Pan flying through them. I remember I had the flu but I refused to go home at intermission because I had to finish the play!

Song demonstrating how underrated a musical is

This musical did not last as long or get as much attention as it deserved. Sherie Rene Scott is an incredible performer with a fantastic sense of humor. This semi-autobiographical musical so hilarious, touching and great to jam to.

From a Musical that Disappointed You

Biggest let down of my life. Enough said.

Song from a musical that makes you happy.

This musical will always bring a smile to my face. Being a part of this show was life changing in every way possible. Pure freedom.
