As per the Google Doodle, today is the 71st anniversary of the first screening of the Wizard of Oz. It was coincidental and oddly appropriate because I saw Glee this past weekend. Between getting hooked on Glee and humming "Defying Gravity" at awkward and inappropriate moments, it took travelling half-way around the world for me to admit it, but I love musicals.
I think everyone does. For the folks who claim otherwise, stop pretending. Everyone loves to sing and dance. You just don't do it because you're self conscious how it makes you look in front of others. But I've never met a single person who doesn't enjoy music in some way. That doesn't feel good after cutting loose on either the dance floor or in the privacy of their bedroom. Singing and dancing make you happier. It's baked into our brains.
I had a larger point I was gonna make, but a Glee re-run in on TV now. Gotta run.
It's on. Oct. 29th. 2 almost straight dudes do Broadway. Watch out world. You got yourself into this... and I am unapologetic about loving musicals... in fact its the best part of moving to NYC thus far... besides living closer to Tak. You choose, I have it down now (already seen 3 since I moved)... and we will take care of business.
