Musical Monday

I am a musical buff.  I think it started when I was five and my grandmother took me to see The Sound of Music at the Glenwood Theater.  Ever since then, I've been hooked.  

My favorite part of the PBS telethon every year was when they would show a musical.  Music Man, Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady, West Side Story...

"Theater in the Park,"  the musicals at Starlight, and my high school put on a pretty good musical every year (especially the years of 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994  :o) )--all of these combined to keep my musical appetite satiated for much of my growing up years.

It is such a good thing that I don't hail from "The Big Apple."  Otherwise, I'd never see the light of day.  I'd spend all of my time in a darkened theater.  

The amusing thing about this obsession is that I absolutely CANNOT sing.  And except for a small chorus part in Milburn Jr. High's production of Oklahoma! in seventh grade, I have been content to be merely a spectator of these magical masterpieces.

So since I imagine you the reader are getting tired of the same old posts about my messy house, my amazing children, and the insanity that floods my brain constantly, I am going to give you another reprieve in addition to Wordless Wednesday.  

I am introducing new for 2009 (you can consider this one to be the "pilot episode"), Musical Monday, where I will post for you some of my favorite songs from my favorite musicals.  

And the huge bonus is...

I will not be the one singing them!!

Enjoy!
