Interesting

It must be hard and a frustration raising an Asian kid.  I think my voice wasn't good enough at 5 when I wanted to be a singer.

It's funny you all like to submit to my dad.  I grew up following all his rules, when you didn't.  I surpassed him when I could morally.

The Phantom of the OperaOne of the original British mega-musicals, The Phantom of the Opera is approaching its 30th anniversary on Broadway. Despite almost three decades under its belt, the Harold Prince-directed spectacle still brings it, with a sweeping love story set on the stage and in the shadows of the opulent Paris Opera House. The Andrew Lloyd Webber score still soars, the show’s grandeur still delights — and oh yeah, there’s that chandelier drop that ups the drama and excitement at every performance. Even major Broadway fans have managed to skip it over the years when newer musicals came on the scene or when short-run, Hollywood-star-driven vehicles distracted them. Which makes this the year to finally see it for yourself. The musical currently stars Tony nominee Norm Lewis, most recently seen in one of the title roles in The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, as Broadway’s first African-American Phantom. Get tickets



I would be honored to work with him. I wonder who Christine is. In The Nutcracker they had the Royal Ballet with a girl who looked mixed as Clara, seemed mixed with African.  I saw it in theaters around the world live, like they did the 25th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera.

Another Talented Teen

I could have done it at 15/16.

Could every young hopeful Christine

not pass up me?  I saw some sorrowful girls sing it for college.

I feel as though, reading a good book, a musical has already been "taken" or actually given.

We Are Called

A good song named The Ash Grove is an Appalachian song.

National Anthem @ Super Bowl

Idina Menzel, the Queen in Frozen

I'm slightly sad I won't be seeing it.

This singer was born specifically 1971.

How's a singer supposed to live?

I should be a leader, a top seller, or something.

Not Much

for hymns like Morning Has Broken (This Day God Gives Me.)

Wow

The Ash Grove, every recording is good!  It's a European folk song!  That sounds likeable to Americans.

I'm looking at classical singing, and I would have used to have been excited to attain an opportunity of doing this.  It's not opera, tho.

Get your hands on the crystalline voice of a young woman born in the early 1970s and you've got chaos at the tips of your fingers.  It's just such a big thing and something of a gem to get one of them who sings like an angel.  Like, all of a sudden it's important over others and other things.
