I made sort-of-home-made chicken potpie the other night. I take a lot of shortcuts, but some chopping is required.
Don't worry, I found a BandAid before we had a Sweeney Todd moment.
(And no, it wasn't the worst pie. It was actually kind of good. Go me!)
(True: I tend to get burned out on the soundtracks from musicals pretty quickly, but Johnny Depp's version of "My Friends" never gets old. Any other recommendations?)
My wife likes Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Evita... all the big A.L.Webber ones, but I've always been more partial to Chess. Have you heard it? Lots of good songs in that one.
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember any of the music in Sweeney Todd. I had high hopes for the movie, but was rather unimpressed. Same with the book. One of those stories I really wanted to like but could not get into.
By the way, thanks a lot. Now I'm hungry for a meat pie. (Preferably without blood/human flesh.) Would you mind sending one this way?
I love Webber, but I'm burned out on a lot of them, just because they are produced so frequently. But no, I haven't seen Chess--I'll have to check it out!
DeleteI presume you've checked out Avenue Q by now?
DeleteNot yet, sadly. I am very ashamed.
