bloody musicals

Listening to soundtracks. The problem with musicals is that these have specific story bits attached to them by their nature. And some of them? You have mental images of precisely what happened off-stage, even if they have technically have no canon basis - like being a shipper for normal shows and certain clips got 'and this was the point where it was bloody obvious what happened next' assigned. Or in some cases, '...this so happened since we last saw them/ please stop doing that, we're trying not to ship you and you're not helping!' (in the case of the last variable, the Beeb does it on purpose to fuck with us)

The problem with the soundtrack? You'll be doing your work, idly humming along and then suddenly get the line '....and then they had sex.' going through your head. Complete thought process derailment.

Tripped and fell again :

Flaunt It!

Following on from its hugely successful sell-out debut in 2007, TheatreMAD's Flaunt It - a night of gender-swapping show tunes with your favourite West End stars - returns on 30th October 2008 to the Fortune Theatre.

Flaunt It follows one simple rule: boys sing girls songs and girls sing boys songs.

In 2008 we bring you another stellar line-up with show tunes picked from here, there and everywhere - sung like you've never heard them before.

Featuring:
Daniel Boys, Earl Carpenter, Anna-Jane Casey, Joanne Farrell, Josefina Gabrielle, Scott Garnham, Simon Green, Carl Mullaney, Amy Pemberton, Sophia Ragavelas, Jon Robyns, David Thaxton, Liam Tamne, Shaun Escoffery, Louise Gold, With more names to be announced!

...now I just have to find someone to crash with because it starts at 11:30. on a thursday. (hellooooo getting back from London) and possibly find *another* thing to go to prior to that.

Hmm. :pokes songlist: current songs inducing automatic tears/choking up in me :
He could be a star - Billy Elliot (when Tony's bit starts)
Fields of gold - Sting (bloody cancer research ads)
