From Grease to Mama Mia

The first musical I remember watching was Grease, my eleven year old self left that theater feeling as if I could do anything that I wanted...anything.
I went and watched Mama Mia the other night and I absolutely loved it! Musicals make me feel triumphant, because when the actors sing a song with a enough emphasis and conviction it makes it seem as if they are really getting something accomplished. Usually I associate the accomplishment with a discovery and a discovery is always very exciting even if it has just the most fleeting of effects. I sometimes yearn to feel as triumphant as I did when I was eleven, the triumph that comes from new discoveries. I felt a little of that as I watched Mama Mia the other night, it was fun!
