10 Musical Theatre Performances I’m in Love With
2 OctOK, so, sure, yes, right, I’ll admit it, fine, if I have to, here goes, I am, gulp, sigh, shrug, in love with musical theatre. I know, I know, I know what that makes me in your eyes. A show queen.
So what if I am? Stereotypical? Perhaps. Am I ashamed? A little.
Since walking on that gymnasium stage my freshman year of high school in a run down building in the middle of central Illinois as part of the cast of, yup you guessed it, ‘Grease’, I have been in love with musical theatre.
My love for the genre hasn’t wained much in the years since. However, I can no longer appreciate performances simply because they are taking place in a musical. I spent a year of my life bartending in the lobbies of Broadway theaters and I know what a good performance looks like. After watching Marin Mazzie being rehearsed into ‘Spamalot’, Fantasia ripping out her vocal chords 4 shows a week (she called out all the time, mostly due to domestic disputes) in ‘The Color Purple’, and Carolee Carmello making shit material in ‘Mamma Mia’ seem like Shakespeare I know when a performance in a musical is more than just parking and barking. These people are actors, some of the best working in the theatre I would argue, and their voices and vocal pyrotechnics may have gotten them to the top of the heap of musical theatre performers working today, but it’s their ability to interpret the material that keeps them there.
So few singers understand that as an audience member I don’t give a shit what your voice sounds like if you are not performing the life out of whatever you are singing.
So fine call me a show queen. But at least I’m a show queen with taste.

Why I love Auditioning
23 AugRealizing the hour before that all your fancy audition clothes are size ___ when they should be size ___ (huge).
Convincing yourself on the drive over that you still look like your headshot.
Not scowling at your competition (grown men using the word “belt”, without referencing their attire or a machine part.)
Could you use that in a sentence please?
Bitch thought she could belt.
Promising yourself that if you just get through this you can have a cigarette.
Performing “I’m Not that Smart” from Spelling Bee as a ballad, against your will.
Making them laugh, against their will.
Having daily, weekly, or monthly confirmation that you have fucking guts.
Getting the part you wanted.
Ten Cents a Dance
16 AugNY Times Review of John Doyle’s Ten Cents a Dance
I had deep reservations regarding this show. Concept musical? John Doyle. Images of Patti LuPone awkwardly huffing away on that damn tuba in Sweeney. But now, now I want to go to there.
I don’t always agree with the Times, but this review is sensational.
