Amelie (Musical)

Hey, everyone Steph here and today I am going to talk about the musical Amelie. I am doing this as part of my underappreciated musicals series. I know it's been a while but I'm back! Let's get to it. Productions Amelie is a musical based on a film of the same name. The show has had three productions including the Broadway one.  The first production opened at Berkeley Rep with Samanta Barks as Amelie. The show then moved to LA where it ran from December 4th, 2016- January 15th, 2017. For this Phillipa Soo of Hamilton fame was in the title role of Amelie. The last stop of this show, for now, was Broadway: the show opened with previews beginning March 9th, 2017, and the official opening was April 3rd, 2017. The show closed on May 21st, 2017 after 27 previews and 56 performances. Plot We are first introduced to young Amelie and her family (Times Are Hard For Dreamers/Prologue). Amelie parents Ralphel and Amadine both have issues, and so Amelie feels isol...
New series of fics for a challenge on Amino! I’m not sure how long they will be, as I don’t know how I will do from week to week, This was a lot of fun!  As always I appreciate feedback.  A Winter In The City Theme: Getting ready for Christmas! Whether it be putting lights on the tree, wrapping presents or baking cookies! Christmas is coming! Model: Sonya Rostova Christmas time was coming and it was one of Sonya’s favorite times of the year because she had the people that she loved her. Natasha was always around her, because they lived together, as recent college graduates with jobs Natasha’s parents got them an apartment. Sonya was starting her first winter as a writer at The New York Times, she was doing more intern type things now but she was going to move up in the ranks at the times. Natasha was working with students privately she had a studio not far from their apartment where she taught students. They both had money this year, and so they were going to get thin...

Web series

If you know me you know what a fangirl I am for a good web series, I am going to recommend three new ones, that are currently running on youtube. I will link to the playlist, give a summary, share my own thoughts, and link to the channels twitter for each one.  Barbell Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQvThGbWTSo&list=PLbvYWjKFvS5ojbHdj8Z-N2JLwvA0Wlm9w summary: Two lesbian pop stars break up. They need to navigate fame, fans that think they’re still together, and their own lives. It just started today, and four episodes dropped. It uploads Mondays at 11 AM EST. Stars  Gwenlyn Cumyn from A4O as Alice + Karen Knox as Veronica. Also at the link is an interview with them, and Natasha Negovanlis, where they say that the series is going to talk about some dark, triggering stuff.  Why you should watch: Lesbians need I say more? Also, it’s fresh, new, and creative and I just love it. It has a mostly female team, and the stars not only star, bu...

Hadestown

Hadestown This week’s blog is dedicated to a show that not many people have heard of based on the poll. It’s called Hadestown. Hadestown is the fourth album by Anais Mitchell, and it follows the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The show is about Orpheus who has to save his wife Eurydice from Hades. Act 1 The show opens in a depression era post-apocalyptic setting. The show opens with the three Fates describing the setting and introduce the characters. The next scene leaves Orpheus and Eurydice, who introduce themselves to each other. He wants to marry her, but she is hesitant because they both live in poverty, but he says his music can provide for her. Next Orpheus tells us the story of Hades and Persephone. Persephone enters to celebrate the summer with Orpheus and Eurydice. He makes a toast and expresses hope for his future with Eurydice. Winter comes and a train comes to take Persephone back to Hadestown. The other two watch as she voices her misery at having to ...

Sunday In The Park With George (2017 revival) review

Sunday In The Park with Geroge was revied in 2016 I believe, but the cast recording came out recently. It stared Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford as George and Dot/Marie respectively. This was the first time I had heard the full show. I really like the opening! I really feel like it sets the tone well. I should say that I don't really know this show all that well. I love Sunday In The Park With George and the way that Annaleigh sings it! Annaleigh's vibrato though! Ok, so that fast section at the end? I love it so much. No Life: I really like it, not as much as the first two songs, but I do enjoy it. The singers sing it really well! 'Color and Light: wow it's not even over yet and it's already my favorite song so far. Wow, Jake sings really well on this song. The Gossip song was good omg! I really like The Dog Song as well. The Day Off: I love this song because it includes the ensemble! Also, I love the harmonies. I think the bit at the end of Th...

Currently reading 08/28/17

Hey everyone Steph here! It's been a while since I've updated you all on what I'm reading Every day The Night Circus  by Erin Morgenstern 84% done. Page 430/512. I love this book a lot, I feel that it's a lesser known book that not many people have read. It's right up my alley, and I think that the last  100 pages will make the slower parts of the book worth it. Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee 84% done. Page 307/367. This is a little known Indie novel that came out in June  of this year. I just adore it, maybe because I love web series, and this book is about a web series. Tash and Her friends are delightful characters. It might also be that I see a lot of  myself in Tash. I am trying to extending this book, as it's one of my favorite  books I've read. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (B&N Classics series). E book hence why I have my tablet in the photo. Page:386/1962. 20% done Oh boy is this novel  a wild ride. It's expansive...
