I have grown up around music and theater. I have always loved to sing, act, and speak in-front of crowds. Luckily there is something called Musical Theater that lets me do it all! I LOVE Musical Theater! In High School I was on the Interpretive Speaking team (Part of the Debate team). I was never actually in one of the Theater Classes, but was well known in the Theater department. Because of scheduling I had to choose between Iterp and Theater. I choose Interp because I loved public speaking. Luckily, Interp also lets you act. So I still got to act, just not on a stage...
I am currently in the middle of getting a Computer Engineering degree with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Houston. Yeah, I know. Its a long way away from musical theater, but I am in many theater classes (If only there was a theater minor). My dream is to be able to combine my love of theater and my love of technology in some way. I plan on moving to New York when I graduate so that I can be closer to the theater hub of the United States.
For years the majority of the music on my iPod has been the soundtracks from different musicals, but I found myself always listening to the same two or three (My favorite musicals of all time (It will be a different post all its own)). A couple of months ago I came up with the idea to listen to a different musical every week to help me get out of the cycle and to broaden my horizons. I have been working on a list for a while, and I have almost managed to come up with 52 musicals (one for each week of the year). Each week I will post what my musical of the week is, what my favorite songs are, and a little bit about the musical itself. I was going to wait until January to start with week 1 but I couldn't wait. So it starts with week 44 and I will back track to when I started in week 30.
