4/6/15 - Top 5 New Songs Of The Week, MTV Crashes and Musicals

So let's start with MTV Crashes Plymouth. So far only 2 acts have been announced, Tinie Tempah and Jess Glynne. Personally, I don't think it's going to be very good with Jess Glynne. She's not terrible but I just can't like her music.

Anyway, in the introduction it stated that this blog would have music for everyone so lets go with some musicals? Well, there are so many to choose from to talk about so let's start with some classics that everyone will know. Grease? Wicked? Mamma Mia? Some of my favourite songs from Grease are Beauty School Drop Out and There Are Worse Things I Could Do. From Wicked, For Good and Popular. Then there are the ones that people have heard of but don't really know.. West Side Story, Rent, Funny Girl. All incredible. America from West Side Story, Seasons Of Love from Rent, Don't Rain On My Parade and My Man from Funny Girl are all some amazing songs.
Then there are some new ones that most people will not have heard of: Hedwig and The Angry Inch, GiGi and Finding Neverland. Some previous Hedwig and The Angry Inch actors are Neil Patrick Harris and John Cameron Mitchell with the current Hedwig being played by Darren Criss. GiGi first opened in 1973 on Broadway and sadly 103 shows later closed but it did win a Tony Award. It later re-opened for a West End run in 1985 and did a lot better. It has now had a second revival, on Broadway with Vanessa Hudgens playing GiGi. Finding Neverland was first shown in Leicster in 2013 with music by Gary Barlow, next was Cambridge in 2014 and now its open on Boradway being led by Matthew Morrison and Laura Michelle Kelly.
You really should check out the soundtracks for all of them productions because they are all incredible.
