So, my first blog post. My name is Heather
and I am completely new to this, so I apologise if you find this post
completely uninteresting! However I have decided to write about the thing I am
most passionate about in life, in the hope that some of you will feel the same
way: Musicals. I appreciate many don’t understand the point of people randomly
bursting into song and dance, but I love it. In my opinion there is a song for
every occasion, whether the occasion be having a shower, going on a date, or
simply making lunch.
I wish my life was a musical. To be fair, I
do sing. A lot.
Singing is the only way to truly express
one’s feelings. It does so in a way words fail to do. When the conversation runs
dry with a boy you like, you have to resort to awkward silence. However, in a
musical, you can sing. It doesn’t matter
whether the song is an unaccompanied 2 line tune, or whether is it a huge
chorus number with sparkles, dancing and jazz hands. People sing because words
alone have nowhere else to go.
Musicals have memorable songs that you simply cannot get out of
your head and they have incredible dance numbers that inspire you to dance even
when you can’t. I have just taken up dance lessons, and trust me it is 1000x
harder than they make it look! Most importantly the leading man is always
remarkably romantic, and there is ALWAYS a happy ending. I challenge you to
think of a musical in which there is not a positive message at the end!
Whilst what I am saying may be unbelievably cheesy, that is the
point of a musical. And that is why I love them. As I am writing this I have ‘I
whistle a happy tune, and every single time, the happiness in the tune,
convinces me that I’m not afraid’ rolling around my head. Bet I have it stuck
in your head too.
So that’s all I had to say. All that is left is to thank Sophie
for letting me do this! Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you.
