Sarah Bareilles = brilliance.
Thank you, Ms. B for being great. :)
I just saw that I'm on a website ... badass! :)
I think I'm in love with Karen Olivo. I bought the new cast recording of West Side Story the other day, and I noticed that a few of the songs were in Spanish (in particular "I Feel Pretty and "A Boy Like That"). After a little research, I saw that it was Olivo's idea to sing "A Boy Like That" in Spanish. In her eyes Anita (the character she plays) is all about Americanizing and changing/adapting to America's ways (the song "America!"). But when her boyfriend gets killed she sings "A Boy Like That" in Spanish as a way of reverting ... something like that. At the beginning of the play (and throughout most of the show) she speaks English, then when tragedy strikes she feels a certain hate towards the American people and reverts back to Spanish. I thought that was so cool and a smart choice as an actress. SO glad she won the Tony.
I wish I could fall asleep at a decent hour.
I thought I had more to blog about. Guess not.
Perhaps I was just bored and felt the need to blog. Whatev.
Night all!

ReplyDeleteI heard about the new Spanish stuff in West Side, but I've never seen it, so...
It was good to hear from you today... and sorry for your troubles this summer! :( Maybe your mom will loosen up after some time.
