from spring awakening to purple summer

i recently discovered a broadway show called "spring awakening". i regularly read this blog called deus ex malcontent that is really pretty good. he lives in new york and he raved about seeing the show on broadway. i hadn't heard of the show, so i wanted to try it out and see if it was any good.

i remember the first time that i heard the soundtrack for "wicked". here's how i prove what a homosexual i am and admit that the first time i heard "defying gravity", i got shivers. actual shivers. there is something magical about discovering musicals. you know what i'm talking about if you own a "phantom of the opera" cassette tape or cd sitting somewhere.

i "discovered" wicked and then i found "rent. it's been a while, but i finally found something new. if you get the chance, i highly recommend legally finding a copy of the music and give it a listen.
