<------- This is my excited face

I am super excited! I am going to see Sunset Boulevard at Summer Lyric tonight. I have wanted to see this show for AGES. I mean, it has long been my favorite Lloyd Webber and the reason I can not entirely give the man up (I'm pretty sure I've expressed my love/hate relationship with Andrew Lloyd Webber's shows which stems from "guy in the barn, must be Jesus" Whistle Down the Wind here before a time or two.) It was supposed to come to the Wilmington Playhouse while my mother and I were season ticket holders there, but that leg of the tour for some reason got rescheduled and it didn't, so I missed seeing it 12? years ago, and have never gotten the chance in the interim.

I can't wait to see which version of "Boy Meets Girl" they use. And to see Norma's costumes (which I hear are from the Broadway production and absolutely amazing -- this is from a choir friend who is in the production). And, and just everything.

So people, favorite shows? Shows you've been waiting absolutely forever to see? Or forgotten gems that you love the soundtrack for but are sure you'll never see? Hate musical theater and wonder what it is I am rambling on about? Let me know.

I want to see all of the Disney-related shows that exist, especially The Lion King and Mary Poppins. I've seen The Little Mermaid already. I'm not even sure what's playing right now but I've seen a lot of shows thanks to the free-to-cheap tickets my undergrad college got me.

I love JSC, Rent, Wicked, Into the Woods, Phantom, and Les Miz.

Have fun - sounds amazing.

Of the shows I've seen, I've really liked Les Miserables, Rent, The Lion King and Spring Awakening. I'm sure I like more, but I'm blanking. :(

Sunset Blvd. is ALW's best score. I am sad not many regional theaters choose to do it very often. I see why they don't though. Technically insane (not as insane as Phantom). Sunset is on my directing bucket list.

My faves: Ragtime, Miss Saigon, Sweeney, Last 5 Years, Sweet Smell of Success, Jane Eyre.
