Musical Sunday!
Jun. 13th, 2010 01:38 pmMy parents are leaving today on a cruise to Bermuda, so this week's musical selection is sort of timely and yet also kinda morbid, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to run into any icebergs near Bermuda, so it's not like I've jinxed them or anything. (Besides, their cruise ship hit a coral reef the last time they went to Bermuda, so what are the odds of another mishap?)
Anyway, Titanic: A New Musical - which is now thirteen years old, so maybe they should've left the "new" part out of the title if they expected it to have staying power. I saw it twice - first on Broadway, and then later in Philadelphia when the national tour came through. It probably rivals Les Miserables for highest body count in musical theater, but they sink a ship ON STAGE and it's totally awesome. (Suck it, James Cameron!)
I should probably note, if you're not familiar with the show, it has nothing to do with the Kate 'n' Leo movie, except, you know, for the boat.
