I totally love this song. I'm officially in love with Musical Theatre. It's sooooooo cool!!
So, as you may have guessed by now, my first real musical was the 2017 Disney's Newsies the Broadway Musical. Oh man! I first learned about Newsies about 2 years ago I think. A friend and I were trying to find something for a movie night (the kind where you're 4 hours apart so you watch the same thing at that the same time) and she asked if I had Newsies so I looked it up and thought it looked interesting. Then somewhere here in the blogging world, I read a post where someone and her sister (sorry, I don't remember who) had gone to see the musical live and was raving about how Jeremy Jordan makes the best Jack Kelly (AMEN girl!!) and her post upped my interest a bit. Then when I saw it was coming to Netflix, I was pretty excited but other things showed up that I was finding more interesting so I kept pushing it further down the 'To Watch' line.
Then.....I'd been watching the CW show Supergirl and Winn is just a hoot. And I also have a bad habit of skipping around and watching random episodes of the CW superhero shows, so I watched the Flash/Supergirl crossover where Kara and Barry are in a musical. And I noticed and commented on Winn/Grady's amazing voice. Then I was watching a 'behind the scenes' for that episode and saw that Winn is played by Jeremy Jordan. I think I knew that, but I just wasn't remembering, anyway, the next day I went straight for Newsies and completely ADORED it!!
So now I'm totally in love with musicals and I need to find another one to watch. I mean, I've seen several musical movies, but it's not the same.
What are some musicals you all recommend? Please tell me!! I need more!!
And some sad news, Belladonna died yesterday.
