@catwing No, I’m not. 🙁  I don’t think we’re going to any more homeschool conferences this year.  Hopefully next year, though!

@seekjustice Oh, I’ve never seen The King and I, but I didn’t really like the synopsis.  I like a few of the songs okay, but not a lot.  I hope you do get a chance to watch Carousel, though!

Okay, see you tomorrow, I hope!

@Rochellaine

Oh and I need to go now and I won’t be back for the rest of the day 😉 farewell!

@rochellaine

Ah yes… I don’t particularly like that song much either.

We ended up watching The King and I, we haven’t watched anything else yet, but we have a whole collection of Rodgers and Hammerstein so we’ll probably watch one of them next. Maybe Carousel.

@seekjustice It was actually “Bring Him Home,” and I liked the Dream Cast version of it a bit better, but still not a lot.  I have a hard time enjoying anything where the singer uses wide vibrato.  For some reason that sound really annoys me.  The Dream Cast version was definitely much better, though it still had the awful wide vibrato in parts of…[Read more]

If you’re listening to Valjean’s Solioquy/What Have I Done? Definitely give another actor a chance, because I personally think Hugh Jackman did a terrible job at that one 😀 He’s okay in the other songs, but just can’t do that one.

@seekjustice Ok, yeah, I could tell that I might like the song if Hugh Jackman hadn’t sung it that way.  Let me give it a listen…

How’s your editing going?

@alia Well, I’m happy to read it once you’ve completed then, that’d work well with my schedule 🙂 Bye!

@rochellaine

Despite my love of the Les Mis movie, that’s not the best version (especially, if you’re just starting out in my opinion), I think the best one is the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast, that one has a really good Valjean.

Just shoving…[Read more]

@alia Yes, that’s what I meant.  Though I guess it could also stand for Rodgers and Hart, who wrote some very good musicals together too, so sorry for not clarifying. 😛  My favorite musical composer is actually Jerome Kern, but I thought you’d probably recognize Rodgers and Hammerstein better.  Did you like Cinderella?  Have you heard the Jul…[Read more]

@alia

Ah, Newsies! I’ve also listened to that one a lot, but not nearly so much. 🙂 I’ve never been able to get into Wicked.

@alia

I can try reading it (is it complete?) during August. Once I’ve finished editing my novel, I just really need a break, so the latter half of August I’ll probably be able to do it, if that’s okay. I’ve got a few other people I need to finish reading for as well though.

@alia I don’t think you want to know how many times I’ve listened to it. I actually don’t think I could tell you even if I wanted to.

@rochellaine

Nope, I haven’t listened to anything else from West Side Story.

@alia Have you listened to any of the old R&H musicals?  You like old stuff, right?  (I’m forever lamenting that @seekjustice doesn’t. 😉 )

@alia 😛 How touching.

@seekjustice Haha, I got your tag, and that’s why I’m here. (Other than the fact that I just got home from a family activity and would have gotten on to check anyhow because I do that every day around 4:00 and 5:00 because that’s when you wake up…yeah, other than that. 😉 )

Have you listened to anything else from that…[Read more]

@alia AHHHH!!! I love that musical so much!

@rochellaine I did tag you earlier. I hold no responsibility. I was just listening to “Gee Officer Krupke” though.

@seekjustice @alia Talking about musicals without me?!!  How dare you???

@alia Ah, maybe that’s why I like it (I’m not the hugest fan of Broadway). What’ve you been listening to lately?

@alia

I’ve listened to a few lately but they’re mostly German ones. Have you ever listened to Dear Evan Hansen?

@alia

I’m offended 😛 Of course I didn’t!

@alia

I’m finishing off the second draft of Stars!!!
