I love Broadway musicals, So I thought I would give my list of my top ten favorite Broadway musicals and why I love them so much!

10) Music Man

I have recently gotten into Music Man, because I'm going to be in my school's production of it. It is a classic, with catchy songs that just won't get out of your head. The dancing in it is pretty amazing as well.

9) Wicked

Wicked, is amazing. The costumes are great, the songs are catchy, and it is a very iconic show. If you want see the real Story of The Wicked Witch of The West, go see Wicked.

8) Newsies

Newsies songs are so catchy; if you listen to King Of New York once it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. The dancing in it is A+ and everyone should want to be a Newsie by the end of to listening to it.

7) Pippin

Most people tell me this a weird musical to have in my top ten, I say they're wrong for saying that. Pippin, is amazing and their circus acts within the show. It also has an amazing message about life and how we shouldn't follow every norm and find our own path.

6) Rent

This was the musical that got me into musicals. I remember watching this movie for the first time and crying when Angel died and I thought if a musical could make me feel this way what can other musicals do. It also a great musical life and what real people go through.

5) Grease

This was the other musical that set my love for musicals. I would always remember watching it on ABC family every time it was on. I knew all the songs by 4th grade and I was singing them around the house.

4) Sound Of Music

This was the first ever musical I got to perform in for my 3rd grade show. It was for a camp I went to and we did the Sound of Music. I was a Nun of the abbey and I love every minute of this show. It is a beautiful musical.

3) School of Rock

This musical is so much fun and by the end of it I was dancing in my seat. The kids play their instruments on stage and are just awesome. The plot stays true to the movie and it's funny. It had me laughing so much and the message behind, once again, is a great one that we should all listen to.

2) Hamilton

It's the musical that is sweeping the nation and for many good reasons. It is a hip hop musical about Alexander Hamilton and it brings people who never liked Broadway before to Broadway. One day, I will see this amazing show.

1) Cinderella

This was the first ever musical I saw on Broadway and it holds a special place in my heart. I have seen it three times now, twice on Broadway and once with the new tour casting. Each time has been as magical as the last. It also reminds me to be kind to everyone, even when the world can be cruel.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
