Social Sunday!

Today I'm linking up with Neely and Ashley for Sunday Social! This week's questions all relate to music! :)

What is your all-time favorite song?
 Ooh this is a tough one because I have SO many favorites, but I'd have to say "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi! I LOVE him! I saw him in concert two years ago and he is a fantastic performer!

What is your favorite singer/band?
 Again, super hard to pick just one, but I absolutely adore Taylor Swift! I've seen her in concert twice and she's amazing! Her songs are so great---I can't think of one song of hers that I don't like, haha...

What is your theme song/song that best describes your life? 
I have always loved "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!" Haha...this song is so catchy, cheerful and always brings a smile to my face!
 
What is your favorite road-trip music?
I'd say musical soundtracks are the key to road trips...especially if I'm going on one with my mom--we love Momma Mia, Wicked, Les Miserables, The Sound of Music--you get the idea!! :)


What song are you embarrassed to admit you love?  
I am without a doubt hooked on all of the boy bands---NSync, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, etc.! I still listen to them all the time and last June, my friend Tabitha and I went to see the BSB NKTOB reunion tour (and yes, I do go to a lot of concerts, haha....one of the bonuses of living outside of Washington DC!) and it was literally one of the BEST concerts ever! We could hardly speak the next day--ahh, it was so much fun!

Can't wait to read what everyone else says about their music favorites!! :)

Wicked!

Picture of the program that I bought...it even came with a FREE (no additional cost) poster!

A few weeks ago, I was able to fulfill a life-long dream of seeing the musical Wicked (well a life-long dream since 2003 when the show was created, haha)! When the show first came out, it became popular fairly quickly. I was a Theatre major at James Madison University at the time and one of my friends lent me her copy of the soundtrack and I loved it so much! My mom gave me the soundtrack for Easter and ever since then, I have been dying to see it live!

The touring company of Wicked came to Richmond, VA about two years ago but unfortunately by the time I heard about it, it was all sold out. Earlier this year, I found out it was coming to the DC area and would be performed at The Kennedy Center. I was SO excited! My family and I got tickets and although we weren't all sitting together, we each had a fantastic experience. I loved the scenery, the music, the actors--everything! It's run in DC is just about over, but if comes back another time, I am so seeing it again!

The only thing that could have made an already perfect experience even more perfect would have been if the fabulous actress Kristin Chenoweth had been playing the part of Glinda. I did like the performances of all of the actors, but still, Kristin Chenoweth is sooo awesome! Besides being the original Glinda on Broadway, she is:

1.) On Glee--one of the best shows on TV!

2.) Incredibly talented!

3.) 4'11''--just like me! :)

If you haven't listened to the soundtrack to Wicked, you must check it out! If you haven't seen the musical, see it if possible--it is a FABULOUS show! :)
