And the interests meme, since Evie's been so kind as to hold the power cord in while I do it... Got tagged by zorabet. ^^

Feeling Electric
I refuse to call it Next to Normal. Ever. I will be stagedooring one day, and still call it Feeling Electric when I am talking to an actor. But yes. I run the community for it. Of course I love it. It's wonderful crack and I am so looking forward to the production... I will be there on opening night, come hell or high water.

Jason Robert Brown
God, he just writes the prettiest music EVER. The Last 5 Years is one of my favorite musicals, and Songs for a New World is AMAZING and has inspired a TON of stories and... yes. And there's also this one song from his new musical, 13, that I have, and I'm slightly obsessed with it despite having heard nothing else from it... Also, his music is wonderful for the voices of three women that I absolutely love - Sherie, Julia, and Evie. ^^

Lullaby of Broadway
Um. Okay. First, read this story. Then understand that every time I'm having a breakdown, Evie sings that for me and it fixes things a little. That's all that needs said.

Notebooks
I like notebooks. A lot. I have one for every single thing I'm writing... mostly because I don't like to mix them up. Also, if I were to write two different stories in one notebook, I'd have to give space between the first story and the second and what if I don't give it enough space and... uh... yeah. I need lots and lots of notebooks.

Chess the Musical
Uh. Heh. Oh, Chess. It is one of my favorite musicals, as fucked up as it is. Its canon itself is fucked up - imagine if NYTW RENT, Demo RENT, and Broadway RENT were all equally canon, then add in some KGB agents (oh, the government boys), and you have the specialness that is Chess. In Soviet Russia, Chess plays YOU!!

Tag me and I'll pick five of your interests. ^^

01. The first character I first fell in love with You'd think it was Roger, and for a second I thought it was, but I was wrong. It was Maureen. Weird, huh?
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now Benny. ^^
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't Angel. I tune out during all of Angel's songs (except Contact), I have almost no interest in the Angel/Collins relationship, and Angel just... honestly bores me.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates Benny. The Man. Alison. ...I am ODD.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer No one, really. My feelings toward the characters haven't changed all that much, at least in a negative way.
06. The character I would shag anytime ...Most of the girls, actually. Including April. And there's a chance I'd go straight for Roger, depending on whose Roger we're talking about.
07. The character I'd want to be like ...Want to be like? Let's be honest, I am like Roger.
08. The character I'd slap Roger, for his own damn good. And Benny.
09. A pairing that I love Roger/April, Mark/Roger, lotsa minor pairings
10. A pairing that I despise Angel/Collins... Angel/anyone, really, because I just can't bring myself to care.

[zorabet.livejournal.com]

...oh thank God, I'm not the only person who doesn't think Angel is the most amazing person ever and that Angel/Collins is the ZOMG BEST COUPLE EVAR.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. I just... don't care. And would be perfectly happy if they cut large portions of the Angel/Collins bits out of the show. It would cut down a lot on my boredom during the show. I seriously tune out and start thinking about other things during "You Okay Honey" and "I'll Cover You." ...Actually, during "I'll Cover You," I tend to watch the people who are playing the Man and that random homeless girl, if that tells you how much I don't care. And the only reason I manage to pay attention during "Today 4 U" is that often Mark and Roger do cute things on the table.

[zorabet.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think you're a bit more indifferent than I. Heh.

I don't not care about the relationship, they're cute, whatever. It's Angel herself. She's a very, very big MarySue. Huge. Also...she comes in singing a song about how generous she is because she killed a dog? I don't think so. I don't go for animal cruelty.

I don't know how I'd feel about things being cut out, and I tink it works well enough in the show. But, really, Collins? You were together for 10 months. Your life isn't over. Heh.

[bohofemm.livejournal.com]

You've opened my eyes to Angel...
She is nothing but a big MarySue.
And Today 4 U just bores me.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

"Today 4 U" gets old real fast. ...The only time I've actually enjoyed it was the one time I saw Telly!Angel, and a big part of that was just how cute he was. Tiny!Asian!Angel is adorable. But even then, it's only cool the once.

[bohofemm.livejournal.com]

What about Kristin's Angel?
Or do you actually have to see that one to judge?
(His is the last T4U I've actually listened to)

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

I have not. I only got to see the tour twice, and then it was both with Ano, who is my least favorite Angel that I've seen.

[bohofemm.livejournal.com]

You're the second person to have said that.
What's wrong with it?
(And he can't be worse than Melvin. *gag* )

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

I can't put my finger on anything wrong with him, I just... didn't care for him. I mean, I don't care much for Angel anyway, obviously, but. I think my ranking of Angels goes Andy, Telly, Justin, Shaun, Ano.

[bohofemm.livejournal.com]

Melvin had no soul as Angel. (Why did I almost put Roger?!) He was lifeless and DULL.
Who's your favorite Benny?

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

D'Monroe definitely my favorite Benny. With Marcus as a close second. Those are actually the only two Bennys I've seen that I liked.

[zorabet.livejournal.com]

*threadjacks*

Ano did nothing for me either. He was alright, but I don't see why people love him so much. Something about him is just off to me.

I have to admit Justin is my favorite Angel that I've ever seen. Justin won a lot, I don't care what everyone says. He may be a very unattractive Angel, but he's good.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Ano isn't a very good vocalist. But he's a really good Angel, he just doesn't have the voice for it, but he has the heart for it. However, he's getting a lot of comparison with Melvin from me, and Melvin could SING it, but he was... well, his Angel was just Melvin in with glitter eyeshadow.

I like Justin a lot, too, though.

[zorabet.livejournal.com]

Jesse was a lot better than Melvin, I'll say. Not that Melvin did a thing for me, anyway. Maybe I'm really picky about Angels or something, I don't know.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. *Sighs* The tie-in to LVB with the dog-killing is cool, but... I don't care. If Jon had cut the Colline and Schunard character altogether, and focused more on the Mark-Roger-Mimi-Benny part of the story? I'd be cool with that. Really.

[zorabet.livejournal.com]

Had he done that, obviously I would have been okay, I wouldn't know better. But the show works the way it is, those characters included. *shrugs*
