"Phantom of the Opera Theme" is a Pink Floyd rip-off!

West Side Story all the way! I WILL ALWAYS CRY AT THE END OF THIS MOVIE. Um, okay. I love musicals. I love older musicals. Hair, Sound of Music (my mother used to change the lyrics to "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria" to "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Meredith" when I was a kid. Thanks, Mom), My Fair Lady, Hairspray (both the new one and the old one, shut up!), Cabaret, Moulin Rouge (IT COUNTS), Chicago (even if I hate stupid old puffy face, she will not ruin this movie for me!). Also, I'm really tired of people being like, "Oh, I love musicals! Rent rules!" Yeah, okay, there are some good songs in Rent, BUT THERE ARE OTHER MUSICALS OUT THERE. Why is that always, like, the definitive musical to people? There are so many better ones!

OMG. Musicals are pretty much the best thing ever. Well, okay. Some of the best things ever. I'm partial to Show Boat, which probably makes me a hundred and a half years old, haha. There's a 1960's cast recording of Oliver that is pretty great, too. And my all time favourites are a three-way-tie amongst West Side Story, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd (the Angela Lansbury version).
Yeah. I'm totally at least 65. Hahahahaha.

Meredith, those people tend to only like Musicals that have been turned into movies. Those people suck.
Hair might be my favourite musical ever.

I saw Wicked the other night and really wanted the soundtrack, but shit was $28 and fuck if I'm going to pay that much for a damn CD soundtrack.

I love Phantom, I'm actually going to see it in two days and the Detroit Opera House. I'm stoked! I have center balcony seats, so hopefully I'll have a great view!

Avenue Q and Oklahoma are my favorites. Avenue Q because it's hilarious, and Oklahoma because it's the first show I ever worked on and it was awesome.
