Goodbye 2020...

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, I thought about you and even told you in my last video! (I'll add it at the very end of this article)

This year, no crazy New Year’s Eve party, we are all in the same boat, no matter where we are in the world, so I decided to share with you my favourite musicals, to have something to do…

Yes, after the Disney Princesses and Ballet, this is another of my passions.

By the way, I've already talked a bit about it last year: Happy New Year 2020.
  • So, I'm not going to tell about Fame here again, the musical I saw after 30 years of waiting...

Let’s be precise, I’m talking about the musicals I’ve watched in theatres.

I’d like to take advantage of this article, to pay tribute to all the entertainment people who unfortunately were unable to produce their art this year, and many of whom found themselves in precarious and difficult situations.

Making people dream is a wonderful talent. Let’s be grateful for all these artists and technicians, and for their incredible magic!
 

What's the musical that comes to your mind spontaneously? Maybe even your favourite, you can reply in the comments below 😉
 
I start here with classics, some of which I love the cinema versions, and relevant during the festive season:
  • The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959, was adapted for cinema in 1965 and played by the incredible and talented Julie Andrews.

Another musical from composers Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein.
  • Even older, The King and I, on stage in 1951 and in cinema in 1956, I saw it 3 times in theatre and I don't know how many times in video, Deborah Kerr is splendid, and Yul Brynner irresistible!

I obviously give you a legendary passage:

Here, musicals have been adapted long after cinema.

The first was premiered in 1951 with the incredible music of George & Ira Gershwin!! Then, in theatre from 2015.
  • An American in Paris, I saw it at my bachelorette party in London, a highlight because it’s my favourite Gene Kelly movie. VIP seat on a balcony with champagne, what a night ...​

  • Certainly, you guess what other movie I'm gonna talk about here, created in 1952: Singing in the Rain.
What can I say, this is my favourite musical!! The staging is absolutely amazing, and when it rains on stage, it feels like a dream ...
​
Video to watch absolutely!!

  • Another musical that is technically impressive: Mary Poppins.

You know I love her, I wrote about her in my Article Thank You.

Not easy to create the magic of this character without special effects, and yet nothing is impossible for Mary Poppins, including flying above the audience...
I still have goose bumps!

Two other musicals that are dear to my heart and I saw in the fabulous Théâtre Mogador in Paris:
  • Mamma Mia, a gift for my mum’s 50th birthday, an Abba fan. You can't help but sing and dance all the time. A pure dose of happiness.
 
  • The Lion King, which I saw with my sister for the first time and I’ve been several times around the world, so magnificent and captivating. Visually one of the most successful, if not the most successful in my eyes.

A musical I found great & extremely funny: The Addams Family.
​
I'm a fan and for 1h30 I really thought I was in Morticia and Gomez's house, a bit more time and I invited myself to dinner, I think I had a thing for Cousin Itt ...

  • So now, I'm gonna tell you about a very, very hot musical, Rock of Ages, that I saw in Las Vegas, and believe me the next day the Chippendales didn't look so sexy to me! But that’s not today's topic hahahah!

This musical was created in 2005 and adapted for the cinema in 2012, it uses the iconic songs from the 80s, you just sing and dance all along ...

And then so many others, all so extraordinary. Well, I admit that depending on the country, some casts are better than others, but the magic is always there.

There’s something intimate and wonderful about theatre you can’t have in cinema.
​Almost as if we knew the actors:

Cabaret, Grease, West Side Story, Wicked, A Chorus line, Dirty dancing, Jersey Boys, Spiderman, Billy Elliot…

There are still a lot of musicals I’d like to see and fill my basket of dreams 😊

Maybe one day My Solo Wedding in Santorini will be told in music!!
 
And it's not strictly a musical, but the Rockettes performance at the Radio City Hall in New York is a must-see once in a lifetime!

Reread:
Christmas in New York
Rockefeller Center

If you are bored during these holidays, you can always re-read my previous articles, full of fun & magic:
  • Merry Christmas 2020
  • Happy new year 2019
  • Happy new year 2020
  • 2019 to 2020
 
I received pictures of beautiful  Xmas trees again this week, thank you all!
 
As for me, on New Year's Eve, I’ll spend it with my parents, in my pyjamas, eating foie gras, oysters and cakes. Very good program in perspective: D
 
At the end of the article, I put more videos
+ the musical I absolutely want to see, hopefully in 2021!!!
Of course: Frozen! Chills guaranteed!!
 
See you next year, happy New Year's Eve!
 
Remember to be happy, you can do it!!
 
Love & Joy,
L.

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
