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.

State Fair

     Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!      This week's blog post will be a little bit different. The musical review will be about State Fair, but not at the Broadway level. My owner, Grace, landed a role in the production when her local community theatre performed this show in the summer of 2019. This review will be pretty light-hearted, and won't focus on the talents of local actors or have my typical ratings, but will focus more on the events of the show. I'll include some facts about different productions, but for the most part this post will be about the local community show. Grace talked to me about her personal experience, so I'll also include some parts of that interview.      State Fair tells the story of the Frake family, a classic American family living in Iowa, 1946. They travel to the Iowa State Fair, and each family member has their own problems and events to deal with before returning home the following week.  Let's ju...

Phantom of the Opera

    Sing for Me!      Hello you crazy cats! I'm back with another review. This time we'll be discussing  Phantom of the Opera. This musical is one of the most famous of all times, and I'm so exited to write out my thoughts! Phantom of the Opera  tells the tale of Christine Daaé, a young performer in France, whose theatre is haunted by the mysterious Phantom. I will be reviewing the film version, because it is more accessible to many fans and will hopefully be inclusive for those who have not had the opportunity to view the performance in person. Without further ado, let's get right into the critique!   Phantom of the Opera (2004) Phantom of the Opera (2004) History      Phantom of the Opera (henceforth known as Phantom ) is a musical based off of a book of the same name. It was first produced in 1986, and has been performing on London's West End and Broadway ever since. Since it's first production, it has been performed in over...

High School Musical

          We're All in This Together!     Hellooooo everybody! Welcome back! I'm super exited for what I've got planned for the next few weeks. I decided to do a mini-series focusing on the High School Musical franchise! So for the next few weeks, I'll be reviewing High School Musical, High School Musical 2, and High School Musical 3. I thought it would be fun to do a series of related shows, and I pounced on the High School Musical franchise immediately.      With that said, I'm thrilled to start with High School Musical (HSM), which, in modern pop culture, is regarded as legendary . HSM tells a story about various cliques in high school, a drama program, and a relationship between lovers and friends. Let's get right into the review! Disney+ High School Musical History      HSM began as a movie-musical, although some stage adaptations have since been performed by high schools across the US. There is yet to be a Broadway a...
