My Life as a Musical

I recently went to see my friend, Alex, perform in her dance recital. It was a musical review, and as I browsed over the brouchure at the list of songs, I realized that my life could be described in Musical Titles....

Oklahoma! - I was born and raised there. I was even in this musical in high school (however, I never rode in a "Surry with the Fringe on Top" :)

The Music (wo)Man - I was a Fine Arts/Music Major Undergrad, later on in life I was also a librarian as in the song "Marian Lovely Librarian"

The Sound of Music- More Music, Ethnomusicology ("Do Re Mi"- solfege), I also lived in Europe (In Germany, which is close to Austria where it was filmed)

South Pacific- Ok, so "Bali Hai" didn't call me but Hawaii did!

Mary Poppins- I've been a nanny for a year and half, and the song "Spoon Full of Sugar" about the game of cleaning up compares with my "Mission Spotless" that we did to make it fun to clean. :)

I'm not sure which musical is next... any suggestions? I don't think its "Cats" (spandex is not my thing) or "Rent"..... maybe "Lion King". :)

Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies. I'm not a big fan of musicals, but this one is just too much fun.
