I'm back! Posts in the morning-ish (it's honestly whenever I get my butt out of bed) and well thought out...for the most part. Anyway, Monday night, I had went out to a bar called Sidetrack that plays music videos from broadway musicals, movie musicals, TV musicals, etc. all night. They even play music from Disney movies. It's possibly one of my favorite places to be...ever. You can't be anything but happy when music from Wicked and Funny Girl is playing. So, it's inspired me to do a little series where I list off some of my favorite musical numbers of all time!
I'm so excited for this because music is my life. I saw my first musical when I was really young. It was with Donny Osmond. I still remember the songs and the stage, everything. I saw Phantom of the Opera when I was nine or ten, immediately fell in love with the music and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" was the song I sang in my first concert. I also always loved that Christine and I have the same name. I saw Wicked three times, had dinner with the cast and met them backstage. I saw Cinderella when I was a little kid and Prince Charming came and put the slipper on my foot. It was magical to say the least. I haven't seen a musical that I haven't loved with the exception of Chicago and I would go back and see all of them a hundred times if I could.Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
But anyway, to the music! There are way too many songs for me to include them all in one post so I'm separating this into a few. I'll do one each week, maybe two if I'm not feeling particularly inspired, with a different topic. Today's is Favorite Songs From Musicals I've Seen. So, here are mine, what are some of yours??
Defying Gravity from Wicked: the most well known song on Broadway, I cry every time. I can't explain it but it just goes straight through me. Eden did an amazing job, I couldn't not share this with you.
Close Every Door - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat: Donny Osmond just has one of those voices you would know anywhere. It's perfect and amazing and that shows in this performance.
Phantom of the Opera and Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera: Ramin Karimloo is one of my favorite broadway actors. His voice literally makes my stop breathing. It goes straight to my gut. I just love him.
No Good Deed - Wicked: You may be surprised that there was no Idina up here. I love her so much and she is going to show up in a different post so don't worry. Eden Espinosa was another amazing Elpheba. Her voice is just incredible, I had to share this particular version with you.
