Item one (à la Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins): I will be participating in the Celebrate Musicals Week blog party, hosted by Miss Dashwood. You can use the link or the blog button in the sidebar to see all the details, but basically it means that from September 23rd to 28th I'll be devoting my blog to one musical, which will be... Miss Saigon! Because it is one of the most beautiful stories ever, has some amazing songs and it's coming back to the West End next year! I can't review a stage version or a movie version because the first I didn't get to see on its first West End run, and the second doesn't exist yet. I haven't quite decided what my Miss Saigon posts will be, but it's safe to say I'll be sharing my favourite songs and some videos, and Ms Lea Salonga simply has to be mentioned where Miss Saigon is concerned.
Item two: The six months anniversary of Music & My Mind is approaching! The fact that the number of page views has increased by a thousand at an astonishing speed has convinced me that some people in the world actually read this blog, so I want to celebrate in a way that you readers can participate! And better yet, you'll be able to help me improve my blog, because I'm going to ask you really nicely to make a review of it. However, you don't have to start worrying about that just now. The six months anniversary takes place on the 15th of October (I'm counting from the day I published my first post, about Nicholas Nickleby) so somewhere about a week in advance, I'll be making another post and giving you some review questions to answer. I hope you'll take the tiny little trouble of completing the review, it would mean really much to me to know how readers feel about Music & My Mind. And remember, even if you've never ever written a comment here before, you are still more than welcome to review!
Bye for now! I'm off to prepare my Miss Saigon posts...
I'm seeing Miss Saigon! : D I'm really excited about it although I don't know the show THAT well. I've got plenty of time to get more familiar with it by the time May comes along. I think the main reason why they've now brought MS back is because they want to test the waters for a movie version. Tickets have been selling incredibly well for MS so I have a feeling that it's going to be around for a while, Mizzie. I'll be very surprised if this new production isn't around for at least a couple of years. You should make MS your next theatre trip! : )
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad that you've decided to participate in this musical blog event by the way : ) I'm doing the musical Elisabeth.
Yes, I'm definitely going to make another London trip to see Miss Saigon! It's already one of my favourite musicals even though I've never seen it...
