My Favorite Marin Mazzie Performances

September 18, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

For the faithful followers of my blog, you know that I’m something of a Broadway nerd. And the Broadway community lost one of its power players last week. Marin Mazzie was a talented force to be reckoned with. She lost her battle with ovarian cancer without my ever having been able to see her live, but I’ve been listening to cast recordings with her on them for years. So in her honor, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite Marin Mazzie performances.

We teachers are entering into our summer breaks (hooray!), and I am more excited than ever. Here in upstate NY, we’ve already encountered our fair share of warm days.

Weren’t the Tonys great this year? It’s my favorite award show of all, so much joy and music and talent. I watch faithfully every year. So of course I watched on Sunday (and am still tired to prove it). So without further ado, I present some of my favorite moments from the 2018 Tony Awards:

Star Wars: The Musical – Dreamcast

May 22, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

With Solo coming out this weekend, I’ve been thinking a lot about Star Wars. In my hazy morning mind, I decided it would be a cool musical. Though I know it’s been tried before, here’s my idea for a dream cast for a potential musical based on the first film…

Shows I’d Like To See As Live TV Musicals

April 3, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Like most of the Broadway community, I was pretty hyped up about NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar this week. And it was good! I’m hoping they film all musicals as concerts from here on out. I really enjoyed it (and I’ve never seen JCS before – what?). There are so many musicals I’d like to see them put on as live TV specials, that I think they could do something really special with. Here are just a few:

Historical Figures I’d Like To See Musicals About

March 20, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

I’ve just started teaching Hamilton for the year (using much of the musical, duh), and it’s really gotten me thinking about historical musicals. I love these pieces that bring music and humanity to real-life people. In addition to Hamilton, there are pieces like Anastasia and 1776, that I love.

So without further, here are just a few of the Disney movies I’d like to see turned into stage musicals.
