I love musicals, ever since I was little I've watched a lot. I've been influenced by my mother who also lover musicals and I can't say how many times I watched Grease, Hair, Singing in the Rain, Marry Poppins and Sound of Music when I was little. :)
I've also been fortunate because my parents have brought me and my sister to a lot of live musicals and theatres and I love them for it. It's also been a gift from my grandparents at times, which is nice because theatre is expensive! When they still had the free outside theatre in Malmö we went to that every year too.
I love the feeling of going to see them live, the atmosphere of old theatres, everybody's a bit dressed up and excited, there are no unhappy people and the stage presence of the actors is usually so grasping.
Some of my favourites are:
Cats!!
It was so awesome! My family went together on a date when I couldn't go but my mother was kind enough to go again with me. The music was awesome, the actors were awesome, the costumes!! If you ever get a chance to go, do it!
Singing in the Rain
Being a fan of musicals I've seen the movie a couple of times and seeing it live is just <3 <3 <3
Cosmo is my favourite in the movie and he was played by an actor whom I really like so I was happy, and he did all the acrobatics from the movie live, so cool!
Spamalot
Not so impressive from a singing point of view but that's not really the point anyway. It was really funny and just so cool. I love it when they interact with the audience too.
And it included Kim Sulocki, Adde Malmbers, Johan Glans, Johan Wester och Andreas Jansson. Good times! :D
And yesterday we went to see Jekyll & Hyde. It was so impressive! Their voices were awesome, all the actors were on stage the whole time and the only prop they had was a sofa that they wheeled around and a table that was brought out at times. So cool! And the outfits! :)_____
I just love theatre, musicals and live performances of all kinds!
