Broadway Musicals

Well i first came in contact with Broadway musicals when i was back in polytechnic. Was surfing the Internet when i chanced upon a website on broadway musicals. The website owner seemed to be an avid broadway fan. Every week, songs from a new musical will be posted on the website.....the musicals ranged from the more common ones such as "Phantom of the Opera", "Sunset Boulevard", "Sound of Music", "My Fair Lady" to the lesser known ones like the "Scarlet Pimpernel", "Once Upon a Mattress", "Annie Get Your Gun".

I realised I like the perky tune and witty lyrics of the broadway musicals. There is this special tune or arrangement to broadway music which i really enjoy listening to. Listening to this tunes lift my spirits when i feel down ..... perhaps i have a penchance for the American Songbooks, that is why i also like jazz apart from Broadway.

"My Fair Lady" is coming to town in Jan 2007, but still struggling as to whether should i catch it coz the tickets are quite pricey. The lowest end cost $48, however, there is a 20% discount for HSBC cardmember..... But after discount and ticket charges, it comes up to $40.... have to give it more thoughts before deciding.....
