Well, during cell group meeting on Friday, some of the people shared their passion. I can't help it but to share mine here :) If you realised on the left column on the "About Me" section, some of you may be wondering what is "WestEnd and Broadway Musicals". The answer is simple. It's my passion! :)
Singing, acting or dancing to it, even watching, I love them all :)
Here is one song I am currently into!
Btw, this isn't the lady on the screen's voice. This youtuber changed the music and matched it with the screen. It's actually Julie Andrew's voice! Great, isn't she? If you are thinking who she is, she acted in many screen muscials like The Sound Of Music as "Maria" or Mary Poppins. I really like her articulation of words(ang mohs sure beat Asians like us hands down) and her talent of singing 4 octaves(as mentioned in some shows featuring her).
Of course I do like Sarah Brightman(the first artise i got familiar at the age of 7) with her angelic oprea-ish voice. And Kristen Chenoweth, with her nasal high-pitched voice. Ahhh, if only I could be like them one day... It's great anyway watching and singing like them at home! When I fulfill one of my materialistic desires, I will definitely record my singing! Though it is quite sad that I have to face up with reality. Nevermind, I'll be a musical performer for all I want in heaven!! I will still seize every oppurtunity I have here meanwhile :)
More than that, musicals are interesting when you see how the lyrics really match the story. And how from a conversation, can become a song with dance moves, physical gestures and dynamics! It's a way of totally expressing oneself.
For now, gotta concentrate on my exams! :/ Allow me to list the screen muscials I am so going to watch after the exams!
Fiddler On The Roof
Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady
The King And I
South Pacific
Annie Get Your Gun

Not forgetting, Chicago in the theatre!!!!! Woohoo! In Melbourne with JingWei and BingRong :)
Stay tuned for another post on the musicals I have watched and the things I have learnt from them! Gosh! I can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on!!!!
