Musicals...

So you may or may not know, that even more than dance, I love musical theatre, and have been blessed with the opportunity to perform in many musicals. Something like 30 I think. One of my favorite things about musicals are the lyrics. There is always a great balance of profound and silly. Here are some of my favorite musical theatre lyrics. (And by favorite, I mean favorite this week. I love just about every musical so my fav is always changing.)

Musical: RENT
Song: Life Support

There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

Musical: Les Miserables
Song: Finale

Take my hand
And lead me to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God.

Musical: Guys and Dolls
Song: Marry The Man Today

Marry the man today.
Trouble though he may be
Much as he likes to play Crazy and wild and free
Marry the man today
Rather than sigh in sorrow
Marry the man today
And change his ways tomorrow.

Musical: Aida
Song: My Strongest Suit

In life one has to face a huge assortment
Of nauseating fads and good advice
There's health and fitness
Diet and deportment
And other pointless forms of sacrifice
Conversation? Wit? I am a doubter
Manners? Charm?
They're no way to impress
So forget the inner me , observe the outer
I am what I wear and how I dress

Musical: Jesus Christ Superstar
Song: Heaven On Their Minds

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.
