I'm not gay, I just like the theatre

For the second time in a matter of months I'm on here explaining how doing things that aren't "conventionally masculine" doesn't make me gay.

I do this because a recent visit to the theatre has now transformed me into a big fan of musicals.

I still like sport, and beers, but now I also like well coreographed dancing, and dramatic songs that are relevant to a story line or theme, sung by an individual, or an ensemble of well trained performers working in harmoney with each other and accompanied by an extravagant instrumental backing.

The musical I saw was called 'Wicked'. It's about the witches of Oz, from the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz", and I'd recommend to everyone I know, and even some approachable looking stangers that they go see it.

I really wasn't expecting much before I saw it, and if I'm being honest I only went because my girlfriend wanted to see it so I brought her the tickets and tagged along.

Now, however, I would happily visit the theatre anytime.

So to conclude my blog I thought I'd add one of the songs from the show that I liked. It starts to get good around the 2:00 minute mark and probably peaks at around 5:00 ish..

Enjoy :)
