The foregoing is an A plus if one were taking a course dealing with the American Musical Theater. The only reason I know this stuff is that, virtually, since I was five or six I listened to the albums of these shows. I saw many of them multiple times some a dozen or more times. Okay, I guess I was a weird kid and many who know me today no doubt think I am weird.
Nonetheless, there i something about the live theater that just grabbed me as a kid and still grabs me. I have never been one minute late arriving at the theater. As soon as as light go down and I see the conductor get ready to conduct the overture, I am transfixed. There is something about the sound that comes out of the orchestra pit that is unique and many times I dreamed about being able to pick up the baton and lead the fabulous musicians assembled. Remember, I cannot read a note. I have zero musical talent, but I can hear it all in my head. Sitting in my seat, I am transported to another place. I cannot tell.you why.
