Classic Stories and Modern Tales
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. Sometimes the only thing that gets me through a day like that is a wonderful Broadway cast recording. So here are my favorite summer Broadway listens:
Yesterday, I was writing an intense “will-they-or-won’t-they” breakup scene, and I found myself listening to a lot of Broadway showtunes while I did. There’s something that comes from a heartfelt ballad and a belting voice that you can’t get anywhere else. So here is what it inspired. The best Broadway breakup songs to write to.
It’s no secret that I am a bit of a Broadway nerd (though “bit” might be an under-exaggeration). I’ve only seen a few shows this season (King Charles III, A View From the Bridge, School of Rock, Disaster!, and She Loves Me), but that didn’t make me any less excited for Sunday’s award show. It told me what cast recordings I need to buy, what shows I need tickets for (I GOT HAMILTON TICKETS FINALLY), and it’s just all around a fun time. I’ll be watching the clips on YouTube for weeks. So indulge me while I share my very favorite moments.
