MTM Day 18: Enchanted

[Full list] I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this movie before, but I had very little memory of it so it must have been a long time. It’s sort of incidentally a musical, and self-aware, with a character pointing out how weird it was that people were able to just start singing together. There wasn’t actuallyContinue reading “MTM Day 18: Enchanted”

MTM Day 17: Oliver!

[Full list] I’ve never actually read Oliver Twist. I think what I’m noticing with these musicals is that I’m very uncultured and that musicals can, potentially, be a gateway to many other things. Maybe someday I will write that history curriculum based entirely around musicals. Anyway, I enjoyed Oliver! very much. It came out inContinue reading “MTM Day 17: Oliver!”

MTM Day 16: Kinky Boots

[Full list] I picked this one because I recognized the name when I saw it on a list of bootlegs. I didn’t know until today that it was a movie or that it was based on a true story. Basically, the heir of a failing shoe factory teams up with a drag queen to makeContinue reading “MTM Day 16: Kinky Boots”

MTM Day 15: Be More Chill

[Full list] This, along with Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton, are the musicals I see the most often made into animatics. That was something I’d never really seen before those three musicals. I admit I watched an animatic for Michael in the Bathroom and then had it stuck in my head for days, but thatContinue reading “MTM Day 15: Be More Chill”

MTM Day 14: Hadestown

[Full list] I almost didn’t put this on the list, because I’d only heard about it from the blog of one single person. I’m sooooo glad I put it down. I love Hadestown. It started as a concept album, which is what I listened to. A theater version was adapted from that, with expanded songs.Continue reading “MTM Day 14: Hadestown”

MTM Day 13: Amelie

[Full list] So I’ve never actually seen the movie, and had no conception of what it’s about. I mostly put this on the list because of Phillipa Soo. Apparently I watched the LA version, whatever that means. Having no idea about the plot, I thought it was really cute! It was funny, and I likedContinue reading “MTM Day 13: Amelie”

MTM Day 12: Cats

[Full list] I’d been avoiding this one. I’ve never seen it, but I’ve seen clips and gifs and I used to know a couple people that loved this musical, and it always looked very, very strange to me. So I put it off for the past two years, but today I finally bit the bullet.Continue reading “MTM Day 12: Cats”

MTM Day 11: Bonnie and Clyde

[Full list] I couldn’t find anywhere to watch Spamalot (although I did find out it’s being performed in Dubai in May, so…. maybe that’ll be a thing). So, instead I settled on Bonnie and Clyde. I liked this one a lot, actually! The music was nice and I loved the accents. Kind of a bummerContinue reading “MTM Day 11: Bonnie and Clyde”

MTM Day 10: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[Full list] You know, when I started this movie I was pretty sure I had never seen it. Then, it got to the part where the two adults are dressed up as toys and the woman is doing the jerky music box dance, and I had a strangely vivid remember of something exactly like thatContinue reading “MTM Day 10: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”

MTM Day 9: The Beggars Opera

[Full list] Here’s my one requisite opera of the year. I could have picked more of a classic, and that probably would have made more sense. The Beggar’s Opera was mentioned at the beginning of Assassin’s Creed 3, when the player (as Haytham) does their first assassination. You have to climb all over a bigContinue reading “MTM Day 9: The Beggars Opera”
