Broadway Blog Tuesday!

Ok, so to go along with my obsession with all things Broadway, I am devoting my blog to Broadway on Tuesdays! Oh yay! I'll pick a new song, or musical, or performer to highlight. It's going to be way fun!

And the first musical of our series is currently my new favorite entitled: 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Synopsis: Evan Goldman has it all: He's popular, has the “perfect” family and lives in the world’s greatest city — New York. When his parents get divorced, he's forced to move with his Mom…to Indiana. Uprooted from his old life, he must maneuver his way through the minefield of high school to become part of the in crowd. 13 is a high-energy musical about growing up, dealing with change and learning that becoming who you want to be starts with discovering who you are.

I LOVE 13! It's fantabulous! What is awesome about it is that it is the ONLY show EVER to have an entire teenage cast and teenage band- no adults at ALL! Wow! What an accomplishment! And so fantastic!

Here are some of my favorite songs (but I secretly love them all!):

It Can't Be True: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgXgnh_HTnQ

What It Means to Be a Friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRKHzZyISqc

- this is Allie, who plays Patrice, performing the song live! She is GREAT, isn't she?!

Now, no lie, you can listen to the whole CD on YouTube. I do it all the time, and I LOVE it! It's so much fun!

Sadly, this show is closing on Broadway on January 4th. :( The economy SUCKS right now. BUT- it may get a national tour, and if it does, expect me to Blog about getting to go see it! Yay!
