Elf the Broadway Musical

In recent years it seems that before the rush and frantic Thanksgiving Holiday even ends, grocery stores all over the nation are already putting out some of their greatest Christmas Holiday deals. Typically this would bother me, as I am more of the "take it slow" kind of gal, who enjoys to bask in the every moment of each and every individual holiday. However! This gal isn't complaining this year as the Elf Musical by Broadway is out and about, keeping audiences laughing and enjoying every second of life! Elf, the Broadway Musical is one of my all time favorite Broadway productions as it tells the hilarious story of a quirky elf named Buddy. His story is rather unfortunate yet keeps us laughing from start to finish. Buddy's story begins when he discovers that he's actually a human, hence why his tall stature doesn't fit in to the "elf-size norm", and that he ended up in the North Pole many years ago when he accidentally ended up in Santa's bag of gifts. So, upon this discovery, Buddy decides he'll go back to his roots and find his long lost family- in the fast and forever growing city of New York. There he discovers that his biological father doesn't actually believe in the Christmas Spirit, thus Buddy makes it his life mission to get his family to believe. From there, Buddy's story unraveles into amazing friendships, love, and imagination. Fall in love with this incredible story of Buddy the Elf in Broadway's fantastic musical production Elf.

American Music Awards

Thought I'd switch up the direction I usually take with my blogs for just a day. The American Music awards are coming up and I'm very excited about them as one of my all time favorite country music stars is performing. Taylor Swift, I think, is one of the greatest country music starlets in the world. I love her catchy songs, her style, her beauty- just about everything about her. Its amazing because there sure is a lot of talent out there these days- talent that either makes it or breaks it, and I believe the young Taylor Swift did both- in the good way. I just love her American Sweetheart ways and her lyrics are touching and speak wonders to the listner. She's a small town, grew up on a Christmas tree farm kind of gal which I totally dig about her.

Here's a little sneak peak of some of Taylor's greatest hits of all time with complementary YouTube music videos:

Annie the musical

What!? I cannot believe they're finally bringing this musical back to life. I grew up loving the you know what out of Annie as a child. That movie made us all want to be orphans- in a way- well, maybe not really, but the part where a rich family adopts her was the sweetest part. She finally had a family, left the orphanage and became a classly little girl. What a wonderful tale. Now! Miraculously, this beautiful story comes to life on the mainstage and you bet your bottom dollar I cannot wait to check it out live!

Here's a dedication to you all who loved Annie just as much as I. Watch the YouTube clip and sing along with the lyrics I posted below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0bOH8ABpco

"It's a hard knock life" Annie 1982 Lyrics:

[ORPHANS]
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!

[ANNIE]
'Steada treated, 

[ORPHANS]
We get tricked! 

[ANNIE]
'Steada kisses, 

[ORPHANS]
We get kicked! 

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so, 
It's the hard-knock row we how! 

[ANNIE]
Cotton blankets, 

[ORPHANS]
'Steada of wool! 

[ANNIE]
Empty Bellies 

[ORPHANS]
'Steada of full! 

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life! 

[ANNIE]
Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n? 

[KATE AND TESSIE]
Don't it seem like there's never any light! 

[DUFFY AND JULY]
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?

[MOLLY AND PEPPER]
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.

[ANNIE]
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy! 
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy! 

[ALL]
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink! 
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life! 
Rotten smelly life! 
Full of sorrow life! 
No tomorrow life! 

[MOLLY]
Santa Claus we never see

[ANNIE]
Santa Claus, what's that? 
Who's he?

[ALL]
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage! 

[MOLLY]
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan) 
You'll stay up till this dump shines 
like the top of the Chrysler Building. 

[ORPHANS]
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin 
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan

[MOLLY]
(whistle) Get to work! 
(whistle) Strip them beds! 
(whistle) I said get to work! 

[ALL]
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us 
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage 
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life!

Here's another dedication to all of your Annie musical fans.

Enjoy the lyrics below: 

[ANNIE]
The sun'll come out 
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar 
That tomorrow 
There'll be sun! 

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow 
Clears away the cobwebs, 
And the sorrow 
'Til there's none! 

When I'm stuck a day 
That's gray, 
And lonely, 
I just stick out my chin 
And Grin, 
And Say, 
Oh! 

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow 
So ya gotta hang on 
'Til tomorrow 
Come what may 
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow! 
You're always
A day
A way!

Beauty and the Beast Musical

Beauty and the Beast is one of the oldest and most beautiful of Disney princess stories. The beautiful Bell becomes imprisoned in the mean and ugly beast's castle, to never see her family and friends again. Yet, the story has it's twists of course, otherwise it wouldn't be true to it's creator's sense of style. Nonetheless, with debt owed, the beautiful bell takes it upon herself to pay it with her life. She moves to the grand castle, deep in the dark forest, and she begins her lonesome life with the mean beast. Soon, she becomes dear friends with many of the beast's belongings- long forgotten belongings rather, like a Mrs. Tea pot, the candle stick, the teacup and more. Together they all form a magical friendship, worth many adventures, troublesome situations and soon, the help in finding true love. The most interesting part of the entire story is when Bell and the Beast fall in love, and with this love, the beast's curse is broken. He become a man, a human, and together they live happily ever after. The Beauty and the Beast musical is Disney's National tour and it's absolutely outstanding. The costumes are realistic and the collection of actors as incredibly talented- musically, vocally, and downright just brilliantly. Fall in love with the amazing story of Disney's Beauty and the Beast as they tour the nation and hit a mainstage near you.

Wicked the musical

Wicked Broadway Musical is another one of my all time favorite performances in theater arts. The story is absolutely stunning, involving intertwining events of adventure, spontaneity, love, friends, evil sorcerers and more. Of course everyone is familiar with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz  which is actually based on the same novel that Wicked the play is based on. This story of two unlikely friends just captivates all who see it, embarking on a miraculous adventure and enduring the struggle of finding truth beyond what you see. Its the main character's opposing personality that rivals the evil ways of the corrupt government. Unfortunatly these two friends, the good witch and the bad witch cannot uphold this "friendship" that just seems too perfect to be true. It is the moment when the audience realizes that the evil witch is in fact jealous of the good witch and lets her jealousy get the best of her. And just like every other good story of evil sorcery and fantasy, the bad witch will never prevail. Just like what holds true for the real and mortal world we live in, good will always prevail. Thus the story ends with a miraulous finale, but you will only have to see this Broadway musical to know for yourself.

Broadway has outdone themselves yet again with this beautiful performance of Wicked. The costumes are incredibly elaborate. The lights and action illuminate the stage perfectly, really making one feel like they've been literally sucked into this mystical world of witchcraft and wizardry. You are sure to fall in love with this Wicked Broadway Musical. I'll tell you, they've really mastered the famous melting scene of the evil wicked witch. You can almost smell her green skin sizzle as she dissipates into thin air, never to be seen again. Just jaw dropping.

Check out this great documentary about Wicked the musical. This video explains and visually shows all of the greatest elements of this performance, all that brought Wicked it's claim to fame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZVp2ZOGAhw

The Lion King on Broadway

Hey everyone, what better way to spend your weekend than going and seeing The Lion King musical on Broadway. Now this performance really is something. The animal costumes are amazingly detailed, the actors act out each character of the story with such emotion, it seems as if you're sucked into the African desert, watching the madness and beauty of wild animals survive and live around you. You can almost smell the sun dried savannah grass. It's incredible.

Coupled with its amazing acting and onstage presence, the story is captivating in and of itself. This tale of friendship, innosence, evil, and devotion to one's kind is unlike anything ever created by Disney- they really just figured out the perfect recipe to our hearts. Everytime I personally see this performance I am immediately taken back to the days of my innocense, when I would love whole-heartedly and befriend anyone no matter where they came from or who they were. Now, I'm not saying I'm not like this to this day, but life and its real life situations really ripen you, tech you the ways of the world, the realities of it, both good and bad. But as a wonderful way to escape the confines of a stressful day, why not catch a Broadway showing of The Lion King musical. It's totally worth the trip.
