It makes me cry, it makes me laugh, it makes me want to jump up and dance, and sing at the top of my lungs. It takes me out of my everyday and lets me adventure into a new world. Whether I am watching it, or acting in it, Musical Theatre makes me feel alive! :-) Well it’s simple really, Musical theatre makes me smile.

Well, the music! I love the narrative trope we as audiences buy into to allow characters to, through song, delve into their deepest, brightest, darkest, and most passionate desires and questions in ways so few people ever could with mere words. I love music that stirs up emotions in me as strongly as any monologue. And to be honest? I like happy plays, theatre to warm my soul. And happy plays are so often also musicals, whether they're Wind In The Willows, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Joseph, or any number of others. Plays filled with bright eyed feelings that my friends, coworkers - heck, even strangers - can share with each other, chipperly singing along, years after leaving our seats.
