Fierce Fangirl Friday – Musicals!

fiercefangirlfridayJackie at TooMuchOfABookNerd started a new weekly post called Fierce Fangirl Friday. Check out her original post here – it’s great, btw – Link!

Check out my post from last week! – here!
Be sure to join in!
This week I want to talk about the musicals that I’m loving at the moment!
Usually, I only like one or two songs from musicals. But these are the ones that I love the whole entire soundtrack off!


DEAR EVAN HANSEN

– I’ve talked about this musical before, but I love it so much. I’ve listened to this soundtrack non stop. I also love the cover that Thomas Sanders did of the main song Waving Through a Window – YT LINK – it’s amazing!
– I know there’s ways to watch the whole musical online, so I may check that out soon.
– But basically this musical is about Evan and Conner. It features teen suicide and the power of social media. It’s just amazing, you guys.
– Be sure to check out the Wikipedia page to fill in the gaps between songs. It’ll make it that much better.


THE BOOK OF MORMON

– I’m so late to this. This musical came out years ago. But I just started listening to it in the last few weeks or so.
– It’s amazing and addictive and FUNNY. I laugh so much while listening to it.
– Plus, I just love Josh Gad. So there’s that.


ANASTASIA

– You guys, this just came to Broadway in the last month or so. But it looks amazing.
– I loved the movie Anastasia so much when I was younger. Dimitri and Bartok, every character is amazing. I can’t wait for the cast recording to come onto iTunes so I can listen to it on repeat.


HAMILTON

– Did you think I would forget about this wonderful work?
– I know most people love and adore this musical. SO I won’t go on too much.
– But I do suggest that you check it out.
– My favorite songs are Wait for It, It’s Quiet Uptown, Non-Stop, and Yorktown. I love it all though!

    1. I love Rent. Seeing it live for first time in September. Oddily enough, I first listened to and fell in love with the musical Fall of 2012 so seeing it in September this year makes 5 years since my journey with Rent began

    1. I love participating in this weekly post! It’s one of my favorites!
      Anastasia just came out on Broadway in the last two months or so. So I’m excited to see more footage and stills from the show! 🙂

  2. Never seen any of these musicals, but do have something against Hamilton. Songs are highly important to me in a musical and don’t like hip-hop or rap music that much. I have seen a wide range of musicals like Annie, Sound of Music, Pippin, Music Man, Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Newsies, etc. I was raised on musicals and have always loved going to the theatre. Musicals have a bigger meaning than they ever have now.

    Wicked was what sparked the love when seeing the musical on Broadway in 2006 as a 12 year old. It was the show which truly shaped my vision of what I want in a musical. It was how I began to understand the emotional side of musicals. All the musicals I grew up with were these happy musicals. Well, it was a tragic musical that turned my love of musicals into a passion and that musical happened to be Les Mis and challenged my view of musicals.

    1. I love certain songs from Les Mis and Wicked. I need to take the time to listen to the whole cast recording.
      You know way more about musicals than I do! I hope to expand my love for them as the years go on. Mainly since I just got into musicals in the last year or so. But I love them so much. 🙂
