Sing Me a Song
I love the energy and excitement surrounding a musical. I love how watching a musical makes you want to jump on top of your chair and sing!
I often leave musicals wishing my life was a musical.
How cool would that be?
Let’s just say your boss comes in and dumps a whole lot of work in your lap… on a Friday… at 4 p.m. *Cue angry drums and dark lighting!*
Or, on the flip side, your boyfriend calls and tells you he planned a romantic surprise date for you. *Cue light and peppy music, with a romantic melody provided by violins.*
Fun!
Clearly I am getting quite excited for my plans to see Mary Poppins with my mom and sister this evening.
Mary Poppins
I adore the movie and am sure the musical will be just as fantastic. I’ve only heard wonderful things, so I cannot wait to see it for myself.
“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…” 😀 (Ain’t that the truth?)
Lunch
Lunch was sung to the tune of Carba Nada pasta with steamed cauliflower and marinara sauce.
Noodle Bowl
Bad news. I forgot to sprinkle my noodle bowl with Parmesan cheese. *Cue dark music.*
Where's the Cheese!?
I included a boat-load of cauliflower in my pasta and I am stuffed!
For dessert I had three strawberries that were the size of a small child.
Big Berry
I hope to high-tail it outta work a little on the early side today since I came in early and want to make it to St. Pete in time to drop Sadie off at my parents’ house and head back out to Tampa for the show.
I plan to make a pit stop at Starbucks for a light Frappuccino (which apparently you can now completely customize) en route to St. Pete.

I wanted to see Wicked when it was in Chicago but I snoozed so we didnt get to see it. Jersey Boys was really good though!!!
I LOVE musicals, I always say I wish life was a musical. My favorites are RENT, Wicked, Le Mis, Lion King, Chicago, basically any of them, hah!
oh, if life was a musical it would be fabulous. sometimes i listen to songs and think i would totally burst into song and dance if this was part of my life’s soundtrack!
My favorite musical is definitely Wicked! It is three levels above any of the others I’ve seen (RENT, Lion King, Phantom of the Opera)
I love musicals…but my hubby hates them, so I usually go with my mom or friends – I’ve seen Rent, Les Miserale (sp?), Chicago, and some others:)
Holy strawberry!
That is the biggest strawberry I’ve ever seen! I love musicals too. My older sister was in theatre in high school, so we always went to the shows. My favorite is Phatom of the Opera! I’ve seen it on Broadway and in Vegas. I love the movies Hairspray and Chicago, but haven’t seen it live yet. Musicals are wonderful.
I’m slightly obsessed with Legally Blonde: The Musical! It was just to die for! Confession: I was probably the only person that actually watched that MTV Show..Legally Blonde: The Musical- The Search for Elle Woods. So embarassing but I couldn’t help it. Sooo addicting!
nooo you definitely were not the only one. 🙂
looks good.
i sometimes think back and realize i had no real protein in a meal..then think, who cares…carbs are good 🙂
holla for carbs! fortunately the carba nada pasta has 12 grams of protein in it, so there was a lil’ protein punch in this lunch!
I LOVE musicals! I was in choir and high school and dreeeeamed of starring in them. Ahh, well – in my next life (or my future daughter’s). 🙂
I’ve seen Wicked, RENT, The King and I, Oklahoma, Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof, and Phantom of the Opera. My fave is definitely Phantom! (Although….is that under the musical category or opera? Who knows – but it’s good!)
I love musicals! I don’t think I have ever seen any live but I really really love them. Have fun tonight!
I just recently saw my first live Broadway shows when I was in NYC. We saw Lion King and Chicago (I LOVE IT!). I cannot wait to see more. I really wanna see Mama Mia!, Wicked, Phantom, Legally Blonde and RENT!
I loove musicals! Starting when I was 9, my dad and I would take a day trip to New York City one Sunday to have lunch and see a show!! I’ve seen a bunch: Grease, Annie, The Sound of Music, RENT, Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Aida, Chicago, 42nd Street, The Producers, Mamma Mia, Hairspray, Wicked, Footloose … it’s a really fun tradition!!
Can I ask where can I find the carb nada pasta? I’ve never heard of it but it looks great!

Rent
Les Miserables
South Pacific

I’m going to watch Cats on tuesday and I am soooo excited! my favourites are Lion King and Grease!
I love watching musicals that I know- my favorite is Little House on the Prairie. It was fabulous!!
I came over due to your cauliflower pizza recipe and i’m wondering how have I not always been reading! I love your attitude and your recipes, so wohoo another great blogger for my google reader
i love musicals! the most recent i’ve seen was lion king…amazing!
can’t wait to hear your opinion on the new frappuccinos. the ones i’ve had have come out tasting really watered down 🙁
Musicals are GREAT! I wish I’ve seen more, but the only 2, which were AWESOME, were Beauty & the Beast & Chicago.
Hope your night consists of all “peppy music & violins” and no “dark music” 😉
Oh my goodness, I LOVE musicals. My parents took us to some Broadway shows when I was little (Cats was my first one!), and I’ve been hooked ever since. My all-time favorites– West Side Story, Rent, Chicago, Caberet, The Lion King, The Sound of Music, Avenue Q…sigh. The list goes on and on. 🙂
Have a great night!
my dad took my sister and I to see Cats and my sister loved the musical so much that she started making costumes. guess who had to wear them…
the music is good at least!
I love musicals! I’ve seen Rent twice, Lion King twice, Cats twice…see a pattern? 🙂 I’ve also seen Wicked, Phantom, Le Mis, Miss Saigon, Tommy, Will Rogers Follies (not my fave), and the opera Carmen. Cats was the first and Rent was my fave.
I LOVE musicals! I’ve seen Miss Saigon, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Aida, The music man, Annie, Annie Get Your Gun (with Reba McIntire… so good!), Man of la mancha, Legally Blonde, 9 to 5, The Producers, Beauty & the Beast, The Wedding Singer, Kiss Me Kate, Rent, Sound of Music, Avenue Q, Spamalot, Chicago, 42nd street… that’s a lot and there’s probably some I’m forgetting! Our annual family trip is to NYC to see Broadway shows. I love it 🙂
I’ve went to see so many musicals as well, I love them. I hope Mary Poppins comes to Toronto!
I also love musicals, and wish I could go through life with people breaking into spontaneous, choreographed singing/dancing all around me. I’ve seen:
Annie, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis, 42nd Street, Cats, Miss Saigon, Lion King, Wicked, The Sound of Music, and I feel like there’s another one in there that I can’t remember…
My favorites are probably a toss up between Joseph and Phantom.
