Are you kidding me? You've actually watched all of these AND you have a preference on the song? Kid you are AMAZING! Were you bred by Nazi or Russian professors in the depths of some hidden wunderkind camp? Even I haven't sat through (endured) Les Mis to have a preferred song, how the heck is a 15 y/o kid like you doing this?. YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND PLAY SOCCER RIGHT NOW!
LOL, I'm just impressed with your amazing taste and cultured lists. I might not agree with your rankings all the time, but I am amazed that someone as youthful as you can even begin to differentiate between Pirates of Penzance, Les Mis, and Singin' in the Rain. Kudos!
Its true, its true, I've seen all of these. Now, I have been in a few of these as well. I was in the chorus of Guys and Dolls, was Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, and Linus in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.
Overall, any art form interests me. I am an avid reader as well as movie watcher and play goer.
Don't worry, I've had girlfriends, I play hockey, and do have a social life, I just don't get very much sleep. ;)
Sleep is always over-rated, especially when there are books to be read, films to be watched, plays to be seen, and girlfriends to be, er, had. I would guess that hockey beats sleep as well, but I don't really know from concrete experience.
Sleep can always be put off for tomorrow night...
Shalom, y'all!
L. Bangs (who often averages 2-3 hours of sleep a night)
Its true, the only thing that gets me to bed is the fact that I'm still in high school. Can you imagine the summer between freshman year of college and senior year of high shcool? I will never sleep!
Oh and hockey is quite a fun sport, you just have to get past the entire hitting aspect.
Guys and Dolls, and Singing In the Rain...omg, you nailed two of my favorites on the head...but my favorite from Les Mis has got to be "On My Own". It's exactly what a girl feels when she's in love with someone who doesn't love her back...it's perfect.
Thank you for the kind words, it's very nice to hear that people read these lists.
Regarding "On My Own", it is my third favorite from the musical (behind "One Day More"), and is actually quite an interesting song. I know that many will argue that it plays on obvious emotions, but I think that is the point. The song displays Eponine as a female, and as a young person. The teenage angst and puppy love of the story is pretty much summed up in that song.
This is a director place right, on. Well, I'll tell you, I just want to pitch my device and get some informed feedback. You can email me at coolbreez93@hotmail.com
