Theatre has been a huge part of my life. Growing up I was always involved in local theatre productions and even know as an adult I am still very much involved in theatre. Due to this, I have an undying love for musicals. They are a chance to be entertained, relate to characters, and forget your problems for a bit. To celebrate my love for musicals here's a list of my five favorite musicals.

1. Phantom Of The Opera

My love for this musical goes years back. It was the first musical album I had ever listened to and one of the first professional productions I had ever seen. I love this musical because I think it can teach us a lot about looking beyond physical beauty and look at what about people makes them beautiful. Also, the music in this production is absolutely beautiful.

2. Wicked

Wicked tells the untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West. It is a charming musical about friendship, love, and how things aren't always how they appear. The songs are catchy and the show is very entertaining to watch due to its dynamic characters and fun musical numbers.

3.Ghost

This musical was inspired by the movie of the same name. It follows Sam and Molly. Sam is shot and killed and comes back as a ghost. He finds a psychic that helps him communicate with those who are still living to warn Molly and catch the person behind his death. The musical has wonderful songs and the tech the show uses makes you feel like you're watching a live music video. It's definitely not like any show you've seen before!

4. Annie

This musical is a classic. It follows the story of an orphan named Annie. The music is catchy and fun to sing along with and the musical is a very touching story. Also, there's a dog in it and who doesn't love dogs?!

5. Chicago

This musical follows the story of Velma and Roxie who are being tried for murders they have committed as they compete to be the most famous criminal. The musical was choreographed by Bob Fosse, and let's be real who doesn't love a little Fosse?! Along with the choreography, it has catchy musical numbers and a fabulous storyline that satirizes the justice system.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
