Shooting the Breeze with our Magic Friends

[joanna71985]

Oh, how fun! I was the Narrator in a production of that! Good show. Enjoy it, Joanna!

That's awsome! The Narrator looked like a fun role! And it was a great show!

Bye Jo! Enjoy!!!

Ooooh! You'll love it....it's sooo good!!

I did, thanks! I loved it!

Whoot! Whoot! Got a letter home from school - based on Em's CogNat scores and classroom observation they want to test her for the gifted program!!!!!

What is Steph having...thought I glimpsed blue m&m's in the avvy?

That's great Amy! Good for her!

She is having a boy!:sohappy:

My sister, who completely hates public speaking but loves musical theater, plays/sings as Rapunzel in her college production next month... I'm so darn proud of her.

Wow, that's great!

Hey Betty

Hey Jo - thanks! And thanks for the Steph boy child confirm.

You know one of the reasons I love you Jo? You always have a kind word for everybody. You're a good egg.

So...you loved the show? You are the most into-musicals person I know!

Aww, thanks Amy!

Oh yeah, I loved it! I have always been a theater person (my first musical was Cats in 4th grade, and my first play was doing the Nutcracker in 3rd grade).

YW, sweetie. :kiss:

I didn't think I liked musicals until I reflected back and realized I love stuff like Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, etc. My first live musical was Beehive...that was fun. And then when I saw Les Mis the first time...oy, I saw it four times after that! And even the modern-y stuff (eg HSM) gets me...

Em had a friend over the other night and I was singing to the baby a lot and I hear from the other room:

"I guess your mom likes to sing"

I could practically hear Em's eyes rolling in her head, LOL.

Grant's quote of the evening: "Well, you ain't exactly Aretha Franklin, baby"

My mom loved Les Mis too! It was her favorite show. I hope to see the Disney shows this summer (especially Lion King).


Aww!!:ROFLOL::ROFLOL: I'm sure your singing is fine (better then me, anyway. I save my singing for the car, since I can't trust that people won't hear me from the shower).


Oh, I almost forgot. That video you posted of Jack the other day was so cute!!!

Your mother clearly has excellent taste.

I dunno how I feel about seeing the Disney shows...obviously I am predisposed to like them, but I am such a purist...and the Broadway versions always have "extra" stuff in them, which I am sure I would love if I gave them a chance. You're lucky to be so close to NYC, for me it is a long train ride, etc.

And you ought to just sing wherever! Who cares what it sounds like? Singing = happy, and besides, you have it in your heart to be an entertainer, so let loose girl!

Thanks, the Wee Jack is pretty cute...he's a happy little soul! I rather heart him.

Yeah, it's nice to be close. Now I just need to save up money to see the shows (my goal is to see all 3 this summer before I move down, and I wouldn't say no to seeing Wicked and/or Shrek again too).

He definitely is! I watch the video, and I just want to give him a big cuddle.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Gloria is seriously the goodest girl ever...I had to run outside for a minute and when I came back she was just standing in the front door because she knows she oughn't to come out without a "C'mon girl!". Man, we are lucky with that dog.

I'd love for him to meet you...in fact, I picture us all in Disney where I go : "Jack, meet Jo. Jo, Jack. Now y'all have fun while mummy runs off to Epcot for the day."


I hear Wicked the Musical is amazing, but I just can't get past the book. The book was seriously disturbing and dark. I can't imagine someone reading it and saying "Hey! This would make a great musical!"

Hey, I'm all for taking the baby for the day. :lookaroun


The funny thing is, I never read the book (I still haven't, actually). But I didn't have any trouble following along with the musical. It was sooo good.

LOL, Lord, girl, you've had enough babies on your hands all your life!

Don't read the book. I hear it hasn't a lot to do with the musical anyway, and it really is a depressing book. In fact most of the people I know that have seen the musical haven't read the book...there is probably a reason for this.

The musical is almost a polar opposite to the book. A lot of stuff was left out and changed.

The thing with musicals for me is not just the music and the story, but the staging. Which is why I want to see TLK so badly. The added songs are incredible, but also, I'm intrigued about the way they stage everything. I've heard the wildebeest stampede is incredible.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

How long will you be working at the World? We are eyeballing a November trip.

And how come we haven't organized a Magic Friends trip?

Oddly enough, the part I left out of my reply was "But I bet Luke has done both."

What are you, freakin' psychic?

Aaaaaactually, I haven't seen the show, unfortunately. But I've heard enough about it and listened to the soundtrack enough :lol:

And to answer your question, yes.

Oh, I reckon you'll get around to it!

You are an odd duck(meant in a genuinely admiring way). Don't you ever do normal horrible college boy age stuff?

Yeah, I just love babies.

I love staging too. I guess that has something to do with why I did Stage Crew for 2 of the 4 musicals.

My CP is due to go to Jan 2, and I plan on extending it.

I am all for that!!:sohappy:

Eh... Not usually.

Awesome! If we do go, I will def. get in touch with you prior...Em would flip to meet you, I think I already mentioned how she was mad we didn't hook up last trip..

We should do a Magic Friends trip. It would be difficult to arrange, given varying lifestyles and economic circumstances (mine, not so good! but a Disney trip would sure cheer me up!). I bet if we put Dana in charge she could make it happen.
