don't stop believin'

OMG. YOU GUYS. I was waiting for the SYTYCD Vegas results show to come on, so I watched:

GLEE.

AND YOU GUYS. THIS SHOW. IT IS AMAZING.

WHY DID WE NEVER HAVE A SHOW CHOIR GLEE CLUB IN MY HIGH SCHOOL YOU GUYS. All the fun of musical theater and none of the bother of the acting scenes!

ALSO. The "Rehab" blue polka-dot dresses. I MUST HAVE ONE. Witness the awesomosity that is a show choir version of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab":

(Apparently there are a bunch of SYTYCD alums and auditionees in that number too, so, awesome! I wonder if Lauren got costume flashbacks to the Hairspray group dance?)

*cannot stop gleeing*

"All the fun of musical theater and none of the bother of the acting scenes!"

Isn't that what masquerades are? :)

And Bree, Nichoel, and I watched Glee the night it premiered (as we worked on costume stuff, naturally). I loved the musical numbers, but I'm hoping the plots get less forced. But I'm definitely planning to watch it. It'll be like when Fame was on -- every week I can teach myself a new dance (and/or have a new source for stealing choreography!)

Isn't it great??? We went around singing bits of Journey to each other for days. Although considering who the male lead is, they better get him singing soon or it will be a terrible waste. If you haven't yet, check out the list of booked guest stars for the fall. It's even better than Rehab. :-)

I must start watching this show. I keep hearing people talk about it.

I remember my show choir days... ::sigh::

Unfortunately, you graduated too soon. I think a year or so after you departed A-High a terrific choral director (Elizabeth Kraning?) arrived and in very short order developed an amazing program (Sean would probably remember more details).

Wow, that is awesome. I may have to start watching that. Wonder if it's on Hulu...

Aside from some overdone plottish things, I enjoyed the musical numbers, and too thought back to my "choir-tries-to-be-a-showchoir" days in high school. I miss them. But the musical numbers in Glee have promise! (plus, I can't get them out of my head!)

It is. The premiere episode is on Hulu for at least a little while more.

You know you wanna make one of those polka dotty dresses with meeeeeee!!!!

[amaz0n-princess.livejournal.com]

LOL, sorry, I don't do polka dots or sleeveless! But I will admire yours on you. :)

[jedihealer.livejournal.com]

You MUST make the dress! Right now!!!!!!!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Haha, that is *totally* what Masquerades are! No wonder I like them so much!

We were watching the Tonys and when Rock of Ages did their version of "Don't Stop Believing," we turned to each other and said, "Glee's was *so* much better."

I did see the list of guest stars! Eeeeee!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

YES YOU MUST!

Bummer! Of course I probably couldn't have done band and choir at the same time.

Hey I saw an AHigh marching band performance on Youtube and there were only like 3 silks? What the hell???

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

We immediately bought both songs off Itunes and I've been listening to them on repeat ever since. ;-)
