Guide!

Who am I?


Mom took these pictures of me blogging. I want you to know what 
your writer looks like! 

How does this work?


Here's a little guide for some things I may say where the meaning may not always be clear. Please refer back to this guide as necessary, and if you have questions, leave them in the comments and I will do my best to get back to you quickly!

  • OBC = Original Broadway Cast
  • Rating scales =  range from 1 to 5, 1 being "did not meet standards," 5 being "exceeded standards," and 3 being the basic standard.
  • Cat rating = based off of how many cats are in the play, the presence of cats in the play, the necessity of cats in the play, and if adding a cat to the play would have improved it
  • Best song/actor/set = all my personal opinion! 
  • The history section will not be too long, as the purpose is to inform you of my personal thoughts of each performance.

A Very Potter Musical

        Yer a Wizard, Harry!     Hello you crazy cats! Welcome back to another review. This week we're doing something a little different than regular. I'll be discussing A Very Potter Musical: The Fan Made Musical, a musical based on various plots from the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling. This musical has never made a Broadway appearance.

If you're a fan of Harry Potter, you're sure to love this musical. If not, prepare yourself, because there's a lot going on in this show that might be a bit confusing. I encourage you to sit back, relax, and jump right in to this review with me!

Newsies

      Strike! Strike! Strike!     Hello! This week I'll be talking about the musical Newsies. I'm really excited for this one. I remember Grace telling me she's seen the original movie, but hasn't yet seen the musical, so we sat down together and watched it. This review will be about the musical.      Newsies is inspired by the Newsboys Strike of 1899. Most of the characters are fictional but the event is definitely real. Leave a comment below if you've seen the musical or the movie! I'm curious for your own thoughts. Now, lets get right into the review! Watching Newsies!
