The Music Man

Well, it was The Music Man. If you have ever seen the movie then you know what I'm talking about. I've seen both the Shirley Jones and the newer one with Matthew Broderick.

The guy that was Professor Harold Hill, I really didn't like him singing wise. That part of the character was too big for him. He was always singing it an octave higher or lower. But he did a great job of it otherwise. The lady that was Marian, she did a great job of her part. Both in acting and singing. But when she got to those high notes, she really didn't need to be miced. She could be heard all the way to the back of the theater with room to spare, without the mic.

My friend, Kara P., came too. It was fun to have a friend coming along. It was kinda like having a birthday party, only with one friend coming with you. She is kind of like another sister.

Orchestra is starting back up!!!!! But that also means that school starts back up again too. :( But this year, there is going to be a Select Choir added to the choirs. I'm thinking about trying out for it. So are my sisters.

Aww, you're so sweet! Thanks for inviting me, I had a wonderful time. After seeing the Matthew Broderick version I kind of got the impression that the Music Man himself isn't really a very strong singer as a character. I mean, he has to sing, it IS a musical. But, also his character isn't supposed to know one note from another so it wouldn't be fitting for him to be a vocal genius. It was such a wonderful show though, I don't have any critisisms. HOpe you had as much fun as I did!
