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 The Day Off sums up the show really well.

Everybody Loves Louie: in case it wasn't already clear that I love Annaleigh, she slays this song.

Finishing The Hat: the most famous song from this show I would say. Jake is very impressive on this song imparticular.I love Jake's tone and his vibrato on this song!

The amount of emotion in We Do Not Belong Together my goodness.

Beautiful: The song between Geroge and his mother I'm assuming I just love it so much!This song, in particular, has some really nice harmonies.

Sunday: Wow the harmonies and the ensemble on this song though!!!

It's Hot Up Here: it's like you're inside of the model's heads, and I love it so much! Also, bless a song that really features the ensemble!

I loved the little song between Too Hot Up Here and Putting It Together.

Putting It Together: it seems that the ensemble is featured more in the second act, and I love it so much.Jake is so good in the patter section of this song!

Children And Art: I really loved this song! I feel that Annaleigh sang it so well.

Lesson #8: I feel like this is Goerge's real epiphany song, and wow does Jake sing the song well!

Move On: this is the song that I was waiting for, and it did not disappoint!The harmonies on this song, and the way that Jake and Annaleigh sing this song though!

Sunday (Finale) I have the feels and I am emotional.

Final thoughts: 10/10 would listen to this cast recording. I will definitely be keeping it on my iPod. This was such a beautifully written show, and it was executed so well!

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in. YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life. As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list. 1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
