[Full list] I don’t even know how I found out this movie existed. I definitely didn’t know it was made in 2013. I was picturing something older. Once I realized it was a Disney Channel movie, my expectations dropped pretty far. That was wrong. This is a really fun movie and I enjoyed it aContinue reading “MTM Day 23: Teen Beach Movie”

[Full list] Another on the list of musical titles that start with an O and end with an exclamation mark. I actually liked this one more than I thought I would. I had no idea what it was about going into it, but it was cute. Shockingly, I thought the Peddler guy as especially funny.Continue reading “MTM Day 22: Oklahoma!”

[Full list] I listened to the soundtrack my first year, I think, but because I’d never seen the movie it was pretty confusing. The music by itself is alright, and I have very vivid memories of where I was (the dining room) and what I was doing (a watercolor painting). But I had no ideaContinue reading “MTM Day 21: My Fair Lady”

[Full list] I first found out about this musical because I watched an Ouran High School Host Club AMV set to Elephant Love Medley. I realize those probably sound like nonsense words to people who don’t know either OHSHC or Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge is a musical about a writer who moves to Paris toContinue reading “MTM Day 20: Moulin Rouge”

[Full list] While searching for this, I realized I’d completely forgotten that Joseph: King of Dreams existed. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it? I must have seen it at some point in my life. Weird. That’s not what I watched today. Today I watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and continued to wonder whatContinue reading “MTM Day 19: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”

[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”

[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!”

[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”

[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”

[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”
