Musical Monday's - The Tony Awards

Hello! So, I know that Musical Monday's is about introducing you all to a musical; I am still thinking about what show I want to do next, now that I have time to start this series again. Tonight. I wanted to do a post on the Tony Awards. This will just be a fun post with my opinions on certain categories. 


I am so happy that Celia Keenan-Bolger won, I have loved her for years and I am so happy she has her tony for the role of Scout in To Kill A Mocking Bird. I enjoyed her speech and  was just beaming for her as I watched.

I don't think it's much of a secret, especially if you follow me on social media, that I love Hadestown. My heart is beaming with love for this cast, and the creatives that so rightfully won awards last night. Hearing the lessons that Andre De Shields and Anais Mitchell put into their speeches I enjoyed, because they were just lessons for actors, or people in the theater community, they were lessons in life and something we can all learn from. Rachel Chavkin, I am so happy that she has her tony now! I enjoyed her work on Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 so much, and I am euphoric that she won last night. The performance I loved, and I am officially sold on Reeve Carney as Orpheus. This musical took home eight Tony Awards, and that is beyond fantastic.

Way back when The Glee Project was on, I watched that show and Ali Stroker was on the show. I remember her being on Glee I believe, but I don't remember the character she played. Ali Stroker became the first person to use a wheel chair for mobility to win a Tony Award last night. I was so happy, even though yes we have a long way to go, I was so ecstatic she won! Her speech was so sweet and heartfelt, and as an bonus, I found out today that she is from New Jersey!

Best revival I was evenly split. I have seen none of the two shows nominated, but had listened to the Kiss Me Kate 2019 Cast Recording since they released it on Friday. I enjoyed it, but I had heard what the new Oklahoma Revival was doing, and I loved the new spin on a classic. As a fan, I enjoy actors from both shows, so I really would be happy either way the vote went. Now that Oklahoma won, I am so happy!!!! I look forward to hearing all the new music when the cast recording comes out soon, but I can tell you that  I enjoyed what I heard last night immensely.

Finally, I would like to talk about how happy I am about Stephanie J. Block getting her Tony win! Also, I would like to talk about how happy I am that The Cher Show costumes won.Again, as a fan, I have loved Stephanie J. Block and her talent for years. This is her third nomination and her first well deserved win in my opinion. I have not seen The Cher Show yet, but hearing the cast recording, and seeing the performances,  I can see why it was her time to win the award. The costumes in The Cher Show are fabulous, and I loved seeing them last night, and at other broadcast performances.

I loved all the performances last night; I thought they were all so different, and were well done representations of  the shows the number's were from.

Did you watch the Tonys? If you, what are your thoughts?

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can  be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.   The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much I loved this

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I want to reread

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  Jana@thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and brings the book blogging community together. Each week Jana posts a topic, and we book bloggers write a response. This week, it's books I want to reread.  1- Pride & Prejudice   This is a classic I’ve read twice, I think? At least once, anyway, I love this novel so much. My favorite character in the book is Lizzie. I also miss the story. Maybe in 2021? Anyway, I miss this book and I want to reread it. 2- Foolish Hearts   I read this book in the summer of 2019. I had been in a bit of a slump at the time, so this pulled me out of it. I read the novel in about two weeks, and I just loved it so much. My favorite character is Claudia, and I want to revisit the book. That this involves theatre is another reason I need to reread this book ASAP. 3- After Anatevka   I know I talk about this book so much on the blog. I read this a few years ago now, and I want to revisit the charact
