Stuff I've Noticed
-
You ever notice how lots and lots of musicals have prostitutes in them? I mean, we all know Lovely Ladies. Miss Saigon is definitely prostitute related. Jekyll and Hyde has 'The Girls of the Night', one of the main characters is a prostitute. Let's see, Scarlet Pimpernel, Marguerite pretends that she is a prostitute. I mean, isn't that a little odd? What is with everyone and prostitutes?! And there's always like one fun prostitute song (Lovely Ladies, Bring on the Men) and one sad prostitute song (Lovely Ladies-Ending, The Girls of the Night).
-
They spell Anthony Warlow's name with an extra 'e' in the CSR book thing. Can you believe that? Evil!
-
Jekyll and Hyde has the lyrics 'At the End of the Day', 'On My Own' 'Black and red' and 'Who am I?'. Isn't that cool?!
-
Les Miz is the greatest musical ever, but then we've all noticed that one.
-
'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' did not deserve to be taken off Broadway after three weeks! I thought it was so good! And there isn't even a cast recording, so sad...
-
Most of my friends who don't live in New York have seen more Broadway plays than my friends who do live in New York. That's so messed up.
-
Javert looks good dressed up in costumes.
-
Anthony Warlow is the greatest singer of all time
-
Philip Quast is right up there with him
-
Not to mention Terrence Mann
-
And James Barbour
-
Don't forget Jacques Mercier! (wow, could I mention these people any more?)
-
Chem teachers are poo-heads!
-
Almost anything is more fun than doing a World History paper that is due the next day. (like writing this)
-
Enjolras was much cuter than Robespierre.
-
Barbie is the perfect candidate to be Eponine because only Barbie could look like someone who doesn't eat.
-
Cows are less cute in person than you might think.
-
Weird people often come together to collaborate on Les Miz sites.
-
French Vanilla candles smell really good

You know there's something wrong when you have a dream in which you see Anthony Warlow audition for something. Oh, but that's not the weird part. The weird part is when his audition piece is him singing and dancing about being a bumblebee. Yes, I know, I scare myself. And then he drives you home so you don't have to take the bus. You tell this excitedly to your friends (and then you all scream like teenage girls) and then you say that it was probably a dream. And then you wake up and realize that you never really told your friends because that was part of the dream, and you vow not to tell them for fear they'll commit you to a mental institution.

Procrastination is an art
-
Two of my favorite songs have pretty much the same name, The Confrontation from Les Miz and Confrontation from Jekyll and Hyde.
-
At least one person dies in almost every musical. Well, everybody dies in Les Miz, Gaston dies in Beauty and the Beast. Beheadings galore in Scarlet Pimpernel. Jekyll/Hyde and Lucy (and all those stinky governors) die in Jekyll and Hyde. Mrs. Reed dies in Jane Eyre, but at least that's natural causes. It seems like people have a fixation on prostitutes and death, but it makes good musicals so...
You don't notice much, do
ya?
There's no place like
home...
