The (brief) return of Musical Sunday!
Sep. 15th, 2013 05:34 pmSo, like, AGES AGO, I used to do a weekly post highlighting a musical I loved or was in or had recently seen... and then I got distracted by other, shinier things and stopped doing them. Which is a shame, because musical theater is my first and truest love. But I've had a very musical week, so I figured I'd bring it back, even if I immediately get distracted again (OMG Iron Man 3 screencaps muuuuuuuuust iconnnnnnnnnn, also I have a half-finished Gone with the Wind meta I should do something with).
If you live in the DC area, you really should check out the Signature Theater in Shirlington, because it is awesome. Seriously, (1) they love Sondheim, (2) my girl Heidi Blickenstaff comes there a bunch, and (3) it is basically in my backyard. I actually just saw Heidi on Friday, since she did a solo concert, which was lovely as ever, and I want to steal her gorgeous voice in an Ursula and Ariel kind of way I MEAN OMG. How does she not have a solo album yet? Say the word, Heidi, and I will Kickstarter the hell out of it.
Earlier this week, I also saw Signature's main show right now, Miss Saigon. ( cut for blathering that got long and turned into meta )
And finally, my Broadway bb, Aaron Tveit, has released an album! It's a live recording of his 54 Below concert, and if nothing else, it is worth the price of admission to hear his TRULY EPIC cover of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Teen!girl!Aaron is my new favorite Aaron. "No, like. Like, EVER." Laughed so hard I CRIED. Go buy it.
