What are we talking about today?

I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.

This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.

T is for Thoroughly

Thoroughly Modern Millie
In a competition for the world's best
stage directions, this one surely is in the top 10.
Source: Pinterest
Originally opened on Broadway April 18, 2002. (A bunch of these have been April openers! And not a single one has landed on the anniversary date.)

Currently: check your local high school.

Music: Jeanine Tesori

Lyrics: Dick Scanlan

Book: Richard Morris & Dick Scanlan

Basis: 1967 film Thoroughly Modern Millie

 Everybody knows about: Small town girl moves to the big city, immediately buys new clothes.

I have thoughts: It's remarkable how many of the actors from yesterday's two shows are also connected to today's show. I've never seen the stage version of this, only the movie with Julie Andrews, but the line that has stuck with me is, "What a wonderfully full life she lives!" And so may we all.

Are you planning to tap dance in a murderous rage today? Could be a fun weekend activity.

Christina played a wonderful Mrs. Meets at LCU. One of my favorite plays.
