Musical Mania!!

Hey everyone!! Hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend so far!! I just took my English final this past Monday...and am excited to say that I almost made a perfect score on the final!! :) Glad that it is over, even though midterms will be coming up in early January.

So my friend and I were talking about movies and the subject of musicals came up...and yes, I decided to talk to you guys about musicals today!!

Musicals are yet another great way to explore music...and you never know what you might end up liking. I, personally, haven't seen any musicals, but I have a lot of friends who have seen Broadway shows and musicals. They didn't think they would become fans, but guess what? They did. :)

And of course, there have been a lot of musicals, but some of the well-known ones include:

-Mary Poppins
-High School Musical
-High School Musical 2
-High School Musical 3
-Chicago
-Les Miserables
-Jersey Boys
-Dream Girls
-Hairspray

AND much, much more!! Sometimes, you can probably find that a lot of movies have been turned into musicals. For example, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. I have only seen snippets of those two, but they look amazing! Personally, I love the singing and dancing that gets involved and there is so much energy that comes off of the performers!! The music is great and lively, and definitely addicting.

Also, a lot of the movies my parents watch--Hindi and Bengali--tend to be similar to musicals because they are filled with songs--and of course, the singing and dancing. If you watch a Hindi movie, you will probably find that there is at least one song every 30 minutes and the movies tend to be about 3-4 hrs on average. The songs are long too and they resemble musicals. They're great! If you ever get a chance, be sure to check them out!

Alrighty guys, that's it for tonight; have a safe and enjoyable week!
