WooHoo-Friday Musical
Yes, it’s Friday and I should put up something fabulous, but I can’t because I won’t be here. Why, you say? Because I’m going to the theater to watch Les Misérables, one of my favorite modern musicals. Love the music. Love the chorale pieces. It’s one of a very very small number of musicals I’ve seen on stage (where I paid a lot to sit in the nosebleed section) and I get to see it again tonight. WooHoo! And my ticket is much better and I get to hang with my friend who has season tickets so it’s all good. (Poor Lee, really must let him get out of the house some this weekend).
Now, I have a number of friends (and a husband) who all love classical music. I like classical music, too, but I like it best if I can sing to it. Classic choir, opera, lieder, operetta, and, yes, musicals. I like pop and R&B and other stuff as well. I’m REALLY eclectic.
Interestingly enough, as I’m writing this sort of fill in the blank post on why I won’t be here because I’ll be enjoying music, oldwestmom of ForeverFamily is starting a new blog on classical music appreciation (called Symphony Rocks!). Seriously, if you like music, but not the classic kind, you should check it out and find out what you’re missing. And, if you love classical music, you should check it out so you can share and discuss that love.
Hey, getting together (virtually) to discuss what we love, that’s kind of what blogging is all about. Isn’t it?
Hope you’re having a great time this evening! I love a lot of classical music, myself, even if some pieces make me raise my eyebrows a bit. If I could afford it, I’d subscribe to the Toronto Symphony.
I’m rather eclectic, actually. Give me a well-arranged heavy metal song, and I’m just as happy. Or Celtic folk. Or Indian sitar. Or…
Enjoy! I know you will have fun.

I LOVE Les Mis. I would like to see it again at some point.
So– how was it???

Interesting post and you still had something to share with us - to enjoy music - classical music. I enjoy all kinds of music - classical, folk, country, bluegrass, and any music about America. Thanks (and I exprimented with blog roll - you are the first on - took a while to find it as I was looking for a widget ‘blog roll’)
I’m so happy you got to go! I just watched a three-hour French film taking the events of the book and putting them into WWII France… very good (but subtitled)…
The hubby is taking Crystal to CATS in less than two weeks. She and Brandon have been listening avidly to the music on CD… This will be her first big play, though… I’m excited for her.
If only JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT would come!
