Nine Albums That Need To Be Musicals

Have you ever listened to an album and thought, "Damn this should be a musical!"... Well I have!

Nine Albums That Need To Be Musicals

Have you ever listened to an album by your favorite artist and though, "Hmm, this would be an amazing musical!" No? Well I have and here are my top choices for albums that need to be made into musicals.


1. 25 by Adele

Adele is a beautiful soul and each of her songs has such a deep meaning that is necessary for a musical. If I were to decide how this one would go I would have it be an older woman looking back on all of her past loves and each song or two is associated with one past love.


2. Lemonade by Beyoncé

Beyoncé is just a pure boss and I feel like any musical incorporating her music would be good no matter what the plot line.


3. 'Electra Heart by Marina and the Diamonds

This musical would be upbeat and electric feeling. The biggest song of the show would be "How to be a Heartbreaker", where the main character will be taught how to trick the guy who has been ignoring her her whole life. How the rest of the show would go, I have no clue.


4. Know-It-All by Alessia Cara

This show would almost be a "Rent" of our generation, even though "Rent" is the "Rent" of our generation. But I digress. Alessia's music has such a powerful message behind so many of her songs that a musical using her songs would probably need just as powerful of a message.


5. One of the Boys by Katy Perry

I just really love Katy Perry and I think a musical based off of this album and a mixture of her others would be amazing and fun and free-wheeling and just pure awesomeness.


6. Badlands by Halsey

This show would be the story of four different peoples lives, two men and two women. They would tell their stories through word and song while other actors act out the scenes, almost like a narrator standing to the side of the stage.


7. Death of a Bachelor by Panic! at the Disco

Brendon Urie has always said he is theatrical in his music writing and I think if he worked hard enough he could write a badass musical that is nothing like you have ever seen before.


8. The Boy Who Knew Too Much by MIKA

MIKA has such theatrical music that to make a musical out of his album(s) would be stupid. He has such upbeat and happy music with just the right amount of slow music that a musical based off of his work would be spectacular.


9. Hello My Name Is... by Bridgit Mendler

The plot of this musical would be about a couple (gender and sexuality not important) and how their relationship flourished over four seasons different seasons within one year.


Do you have any albums you would want to see be turned into a musical or think could make a good musical? Let me know!

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.

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.
