One of the many ways you can tell if a child’s Mother was the President of the Thespians: They use the phrase “Jean Valjean” in a game of Hangman, long before they can spell it. I think for a 6 year old, “Sonne Vel Sohen” is pretty stinkin’ close.
I thought their addiction to “Cats” would never end, and when “Les Mis” has passed, what shall we do next? Phantom is the obvious choice, and I just can’t fail at “Little Shop of Horrors” one more time. Why can’t people look beyond the overt attempts at demonizing consumerism and just love the snappy tunes? I don’t know…I guess I’m looking for the dark horse here. Any suggestions?
One response to “Two-Four-Six-0-One”
A full study of Andrew Lloyd Webber really is a prerequisite foundation of any musical theatre education, but I’d put Superstar and Joseph ahead of Phantom. Save the best for last (and feel free to skip Evita altogether).
