I think everyone has a favorite type of entertainment. For some it is listening to classical music. Others playing video games. I also think we all have a favorite type of movie.
It may be comedies or action and don't forget drama's.
Well ever since this little sweetheart was a toddler she has had a favorite too.
She loves musicals! Can't get enough of them.
This is her today watching the original Bye Bye Birdie from the 1950's.
I had downloaded a bunch of music to my phone and some of the songs from this were on there and she asked if she could watch it on Netflix. Unfortunately it wasn't in their streaming section so she had to wait a week for it to come in the mail. It was a little bit strange for her that all these girls were so in love with this one guy who dressed up in a gold jump suit. (It's loosely based on Elvis being drafted) I explained to her it would be like if Zac Efferon or Justin Bieber were drafted to go to war today how so many young girls would go crazy over him. She agreed. It also made me think someone should do a current version. The music is so catchy and I'm sure it would be good.
What are some of your favorite musicals? I need more options for her to see. I'm getting a little tired of Hairspray, Grease and the High School Musicals :)
I love all of the old ones.. Seven brides for seven brothers, Oklahoma, guys and dolls...
ReplyDeleteHey! I just got to reading your blog because of your post on facebook. I am so glad you clued me in on this! I was just thinking yesterday that I must be missing where you are blogging now. As for musicals, they are the best thing ever invented. Fiddler on the Roof is one of my all time favorites. I tricked Trevor into watching it by having it on while we were cleaning our apartment just after we were married and I told him to cleaning the living room. He ended up sitting there and watching it. It is now one of his favorite's when he used to think it was stupid. Another good one is Court Jester. My kids like to watch Pirates of Penzance with Angela Lansbury and KEvin Kline. SInging in the Rain is a classic. My sister and I would try to do the dance routines in this one and would end up winded and giggling. White Christmas I can watch all year long. There was a remake of Bye-bye birdie made for TV in 1998. There is also West Side Story, which Trevor is always making fun of. 7 brides for 7 brothers has always been an absolute favorite of mine as well.
