  • Join me on this rainy relaxation day as I discuss some of my favorite most-medium-on-the-popularity-scale shows / cast recordings!
    🌻🌻 OPEN ME 🌻🌻
    HI THEATRE FRIENDS! Today, we're having a rainy, cloudy day in Los Angeles which means it's the perfect time to ignore all your responsibilities and listen to some show tunes! I've been getting a lot of requests to share some show recommendations, so today's video is going be al about my favorite most-medium-on-the-popularity-scale shows / cast recordings!! So, you won't see shows like Hamilton or Dear Evan Hansen in this list-- they're great shows! I'm just here to recommend something you might not know! But, I'm also not out here recommending the most obscure shows of all time either!
    So grab a Snuggie and a mug of Throat Coat tea, and cuddle up on this rainy day!

      That's ok! I was in you exact same position like a year or two ago! Here are some recommendations that are great for beginners:
      -Sweeney Todd- this show seems a lot scarier than it is. It is such a great intro to classical musicals. The story is pretty easy to understand yet complex and interesting. The songs are very unique and definitely strange if you are not familiar but it is still very engaging. It is still my favorite Musical of all time.
      -Little Shop of Horrors is a campy sci-fi classic that is very reminiscent of Be More Chill. The composer wrote a lot of the classic Disney music so it's not that hard to get into. And if you are thinking of becoming a theater preformer, you will probably end up doing it eventually and it is pretty important to know
      -six is a pop musical based of the music of many iconic Stars like Beyonce and Adele. It is meant to be enjoyed as a concert, so each song essentially has its own story arc making it very easy to follow. A great start.
      -Mean girls has some great songs and generally shows based on movies you have already seen are great for beginners because you don't need to worry about not understanding the story. Great ones include Legally Blonde, SpongeBob, Shrek, Carrie, and Beetlejuice.
      Hoped this helped. I know musical theater seems like a scary thing to get into, but, like everything, it will get easier as you go on. Enjoy Listening!

    -The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals - Team Starkid
    its an apocalyptic story about how aliens infect a small town called Hatchetfield, where a man named Paul lives.
    -Little Shop Of Horrors
    it has a similar ending. a man named Seymour gets coerced into doing horrible things to win the love of Audrey, his coworker. but he takes it too far and eventually the world ends.

They are all so amazing and talented, they’ve done stuff like ‘ a very potter musical’ and ‘firebringer’(which is where the “I don’t really wanna do the work today” vine came from if you know it). But anyway, highly recommend and everything they do is just so iconic and amazing❤️

The full show is on RUclips if you search the full title, and the album is on Spotify and Soundcloud. It’s a really good show!
    The Mystery Of Edwin Drood (Stephanie J Block is amazing in this musical! That’s all I’m gonna say.)
    American Idiot (If you love Green Day, then this musical is for you.)
    Memphis (The London Cast Recording with Beverly Knight is really amazing. It’s an amazing show!)
