10 Top Broadway Musicals
Go Broadway

Musicals are always a great way to pursue three dreams at once. Acting, singing and dancing are an excellent combination and without musicals none of these amazing theater pieces could happen. These are the top ten Broadway musicals of this year and years past!

1. Hair

The reason Hair is #1 is because I was lucky enough to be in a production of it at school this year. This show was only the second show I’ve ever been a part of at school and in my entire life. This show’s story was very inspiring and the music is extremely catchy. I got incredibly close with my cast and directors. They all inspire me. I love tie-dye and the sixties so much more now.

2. The Wizard Of Oz

Wizard of Oz, like Hair, I was lucky enough to be in a production of it at school this year. This show was the first theater production I had ever done.

3. Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots is a musical by Cyndi Lauper. It has a great storyline and music. The characters are awesome as well. I recommend if you are a person in the LGBTQ+ community you must see this show. If you aren’t in that community you should still go see because it could change your thoughts and feelings on people from the LGBTQ+ community.

4. American Idiot

Calling all Green Day and rock and roll fans!! This is the perfect show for you! It’s based on their smash-hit album American Idiot.

5. The Lion King

Based off the Disney smash, was amazing when I saw it. This is a family friendly show and a show for all the Disney fanatics out there.

6. How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

I saw this musical when actor Daniel Radcliffe was in it! How To Succeed is a show about the business world in the 1950’s.

7. The Fantasticks

This is a reverse Romeo and Juliet story with the families making up a feud to force the kids to fall in love. When I saw this one Aaron Carter was in it! There are some pretty songs in this show. The love story was great.

8. Jersey Boys

Me being a Jersey girl how could I not love this show? It’s all about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and their rise to fame.

9. Beauty And The Beast

I love this show and the movie as well. The stage version is so much better though. Calling all Disney fans again.

10. Waitress

And finally, this show is a pretty new musical so I haven’t actually seen it yet. But I have listened to the soundtrack, which is by Sara Barellis. I’ve fallen in love with two of its songs and hope to hear more soon! It has a beautiful story and lots of pie!!

If you don't agree with me on this list, at least we can agree musicals are the greatest creation on this here Earth.

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.
