And for those who do love them, Sondheim can be a dividing line. I remember a long time back being out with two of my oldest friends, one who couldn't stand any musicals beyond West Side Story, and one who disliked anything before. Me being me, I like whatever. After a while of passionate arguing, it finally dawned on us what it must look like to the surrounding restaurant goers, three guys sitting alone fighting about musicals. We quickly did a Planes, Trains & Automobiles" by lowering our voices and loudly saying stuff like "What about them Dawgs, they're looking good this season!" and "Can't wait to get home to the wife, she can't get enough of that fine heterosexual loving!" Oh well, at least we weren't talking about home decorating.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-85655945260303849552014-12-28T08:16:23.538-05:002014-12-28T08:16:23.538-05:00Pucca!

She is a fan favorite over here- and my oldest alternates between wanting to be her, Rainbow Dash, and Katniss Everdeen.<br /><br />We went to see Into the Woods this weekend, on a rare movie outing. I'd first heard the soundtrack in Mrs. Goosey's 9th grade english class (Mrs. Goosey, represent!!) and I loved it then, sitting there with a ditto of the lyrics in hand, and discussing symbolism and metaphor in full 15 year old wisdom afterward. <br />Ken didn't have Mrs. Goosey for 9th grade (he was stuck in remedial english with the soccer coach), and so he was never exposed to it.<br /><br />He was HORRIFIED to realize that he'd burnt a rare date night on a MUSICAL. And a musical with such strange music that "didn't even go with the rhythm consistently". He was too shocked by his mis-read of the trailers to have any patience for Woods-As-Allegory. <br /><br />But Pucca! Well, at 8 minutes an episode, anyone can sit through it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629132804649152538noreply@blogger.com
