I’m a bit of a tortured soul. During high school I was in wrestling and band and I think I was the only person in a school of 2000 students who was. During Band, we did routines like you see in DCI, only not as polished. It was a lot of fun and it got me interested in musicals. Since then I’ve seen the following musicals on stage:

• Les Miserables
• Miss Saigon
• City of Angels
• Evita
• Mamma Mia
• Spamalot!

I’ve seen plenty of others on dvd or even vhs.  Last night my mom talked me into seeing ‘Mamma Mia’ in the theatre.  It’s by far the funniest musical I’ve seen and I don’t know if it’s just because my mom subliminally tortured me with ABBA music while I was a baby.   Meryl Streep did a lot better than I thought she would and Pierce Brosnan wasn’t as bad as I thought he’d be.  Overall I’d say it was good fun, although not as good as the stage version.  The worst part is trying to get the mental images of guys wearing 70s disco outfits out my mind. 

As a side note, Meggan and I first watched ‘Moulin Rouge’  when we started hanging out together before we started dating and still occasionally watch it.  Ewan McGregor has some huge vocals.
