musicals

My husband thinks I'm a nerd.

I like musicals.

"Like"--"Love"--"Obsessed With"-- whatever you want to call it.

And I've been on a kick recently. My librarian probably thinks I'm slightly insane too cause I keep checking out musicals from her every week.

They never seem to get old, I can watch them again an again. Or listen to the soundtracks over and over. Pandora has a whole broadway musical CHANNEL. It's great.

I think my obsession started in high school when I played in the pit orchestra for a few of our high school musicals. Funnest thing in the WORLD to do!
No exaggeration.
It probably would be fun to be an actor/dancer/singer in one too but those skills I just don't have.  boo.

So I guess my deep down secret wish is to star in a musical.  (Like I said--nerd)

Wanna know one of my secret favorite things about my husband? He can act really well. And his singing voice ain't all that bad either. I think if he were ever to be in a musical someday I would Really-Really-Ultra--and then some--have the Biggest (silently scream inside my mind) teenage crush on him. Even though we're already married.
It would seriously make my day.
(I think all who know him should subtly encourage him to try it out sometime)

Anyway I changed my blog playlist just to show you all how great they can be (even though there's a serious lack of musical options to choose from)
